More snowfall = more government aid required. That would explain the JFK situation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few very light flurries...speaking of your elevation interest...i live at an elevation around 200 and work around 80...and i usually do notice a slight difference in snowfall...i also live 3 miles north in Roslyn Heights, work in Garden City...and the highest point on Long Island is Jayne's Hill in South Huntington...West Hills County PArk...I used to go up there a lot to hike...in the old days walt whitman used to write poems up there and supposedly before the trees you could see the Atlantic and the Sound...Its really quite high up and beautiful scenery, i recommend everyone checks it out...

Alpha5 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Anyone have a radar loop of the storm? I missed it all sleeping. Another reason why I dont like these night events....it feels like a ton of snow just landed in my backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 simulated radar on the 18z NAM at inilization time... Resized to 69% (was 1280 x 1024) - Click image to enlarge In 6 hrs Resized to 69% (was 1280 x 1024) - Click image to enlarge VS actual I would say the NAM has a very poor idea regarding the current radar.

Isotherm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I think I'm looking pretty good here in Villanova PA for a 3-6" hit tonight. Unfortunately CNJ looks to be in the screw zone w/ these two events combined. How did the HRR do with today's event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Newark just needs 12.5" more to beat 78.4" from 1995-1996. I think they got a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoa. lol already covered, they measure from a rooftop and mysteriously are missing some reports...... Jan 26-27 they somehow "received" 10" when a bunch of us within 5 miles of the airport got 16-17", that was the largest culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
