NYsnowlover Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 lipower.org shows only 195 in the dark here on long island, fwiw. And I was comparing the damage Irene brought to LI to the damage the snow did to trees, both severing crippling infrastructure as poles were snapped, etc. I know that, and I thought it said 1000 an hour ago.

Quincy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 who knows, the fact that we already got a storm so early in the season might mean we could see another... stranger things have happened in 2011! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Good point, more typically seen with March or April storms. If there was any type of 'heat effect' ...It would be more noticeable in a saturated environment , which keeps the atmosphere more 'locked in'. But these types of minuscule effects are typically ignored since there's no way to accurately measure them . Coulda been Airplane exhaust for all we know.. Was just kinda blown away that it was 27 here the entire day. (at 2000 feet) so, the cold air was around.. The DavisVP2 I have set up here at my parents was stuck at 34 during most of the storm. Not sure what was up with that. However, I dialed into the TTN ASOS every so often and they also rose up to 35 or 36 during the latter stages, when I noticed the accumulation rate wither down to nothing. So, it wasn't just Newark that warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think most of us who have 3" or more on the ground may be able to hold a little until tomorrow morning, making for a white Halloween.Not getting out of the mid 40s today, which isn't that warm with an early feb sun angle. Still some snow on the ground around here as of 4PM. With a good radiational night, should get us solidly below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Everyone here should be absolutely thrilled at what we got,with the exception of Forky.I got more snow this storm than I got on Veterans Day 1987.I got more snow with this storm than I did during the entire 1997-98 calendar winter.I will never forget it. No, Forky should be thrilled too, he just got his expectations too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Yeah. I also think it's sticking around because of the dense water content of the snow. It's a lot of frozen water to melt, which means the snow stays around longer. I think another factor was that when the clouds did clear out, most places dipped to freezing and the slush froze into solid ice. If it had stayed at 33 all night instead, it would've disappeared like magic today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 this is depressing because I'm going to be looking for snow events over the next month when we're realistically going to have to wait till early December til the next threat... the equivalent of a crack addict getting a massive hit for free and then the dealer saying "oh, I may be back in one month, but there's a slim chance I'll stop by again before then... KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR ME!" Well put! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have dropped to freezing here in Queens too despite LGA staying up all night because cleaning the car this morning was like dealing with solid slush. Steps had some frozen slush on them as well.

green tube Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I think another factor was that when the clouds did clear out, most places dipped to freezing and the slush froze into solid ice. in hightstown today, at 4pm, the sidewalk in front of the building i work had solid ice on it. i was amazed.... not only that it stayed frozen solid all day, but that it ever froze solid at all.

NYsnowlover Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I don't know how many of you are following the LRC but this is something that they had posted yesterday: Saturday, 29 October 2011 14:04Good evening LRC Weather fans,As I am writing this New York City is experiencing a record shattering event. Snow is falling in the Big Apple and accumulating, and it isn't even Halloween yet! It's a scary night for some as there will likely be major power outages as the trees are full of leaves across the northeastern states. Here are some of the amazing stats from this developing record breaking winter storm: More than an inch of snow has already fallen, with much more on the way. This is the first time over an inch of snow has fallen in New York's Central Park in October. Earliest New York City one inch snowfall since the Civil War Parts of Cnnecticut will end up with over a foot of snow from this storm The new LRC (Lezak's Recurring Cycle) continues to evolve and this storm is obviously one significant part of the cycle that will have to be followed when this part of the weather pattern cycles back through in the next few months. A part of the LRC weather pattern that we have not seen yet is now developing this week. It will be interesting to see how this evolves. Gary Lezak So they are saying that there will be storms similar to the one that we had experienced yesterday sometime during the upcoming cycle, with lasts around 40 days or so.

Nikolai Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 sounds like BS to me we have been getting large QPF events on the 28th-29th since July so I wouldn't be surprised to see something at the end of Nov and/or Dec, but the idea that there is some defined 40-day cycle is ridiculous (and proven incorrect if the end-of-month storms are a pattern as those are every 30 days) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold&cloudy Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Did it melt a lot today? I just measured 7 inches. Difficult to find a spot that wasn't corrupted though, so take it FWIW. It'll be a White Halloween though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JERSEYSNOWROB Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Didnt take official measurement, but just eyeballing it this morning, I would say we received a solid 3 inches here. Still have some snow on the ground in most spots here as of tonight too. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
