NorthShoreWx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yes and I doubt all those areas already had a hard freeze, especially near the sound and ocean. We did...and we are usually quite late with a freeze. I was too close to the sound to get any snow accumulation on Saturday, but not too close to get into the 20s for a few hours Sunday night. Growing season has unquestionably ended here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I can't believe LGA only got down to 44. There's a good amount of frost EVERYWHERE, and by that I mean throughout Queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmc10 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around or didn't post during the storm. It has been a few crazy days. My town received between 7-11 inches of snow, the higher elevations over 600ft are where the higher totals were found. The storm downed many trees and resulted in power loss to about 75% of the town at one point. I am still without power, and during Irene I went 8 days without it. The storm resulted in a lot of damage and even one fatal house fire that I responded to. An electric line that sagged under the weight of the snow surged the power in the home and started a large fire trapping two occupants inside and killing one. This was one of if not the most disruptive and high impact storm I have ever seen. Unreal for October. Hope everyone is safe and doing well.

Sickman Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 Officially a KU in October. Wow. Well, not so fast... it's preliminary, and some of those numbers look hella-high. And I'm not questioning that it was a historic, severely damaging event... just whether the 10"+ coverage is KU-worthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here's my standard NJ "raw" plot... will contour it tomorrow: Needs some smoothing. I am trying to figure out how to draw a map on a KML file and just multiply it by elevation. 0.012 X your elevation would have worked nice for this storm. You might have to add 6 in the Hartford area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBG Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Yeah no doubt, it's part of living in the NJ/NY area - most outsiders usually make a comment re NJ as a total industrial wasteland. I'm sure there are pretty sections of NYC, although I'd say for Manhattan it's safe to say there's very little greenery (Central Park the one exception). You are joking, I take it. The northern tip of Manhattan, from around the GW north on the West Side has heavily forested patches. There's Washington Square Park and other parks. Manhattan is a lot greener than you think, and most of the other boroughs have extensive green areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmc10 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here's my standard NJ "raw" plot... will contour it tomorrow: That amount of 1.9 inches in wyckoff nj is BS. Don't know how that was measured. I live in Franklin Lakes right next store, we had 6-11 depending on elevation. Wyckoff had at least 4 inches, that reporting was completely inaccurate.

Dsnowx53 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 New Brunswick being a COOP station for an event like this will lead to under reporting of snowfall totals. We had around 4.5" total accumulation here - the depth was 3" at 8am the next morning, which is listed as the "total". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthlight Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here's my standard NJ "raw" plot... will contour it tomorrow: 5.2, here, if it helps with your contouring. Looks like a dead zone near my general area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Note the disclaimer on the bottom left of the map, guys... if your total doesn't go through the NWS (CoCoRaHS is NWS-funded so that counts), it won't make the map. Yes, this is partly my way of twisting your arms into calling OKX/PHI with storm totals or doing CoCoRaHS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I just grabbed a few more totals from CoCoRaHS, I'll have to add them tomorrow. It will alter the contours a bit up in northwestern NJ. If someone wants to get their total in, I'd suggest you sign up for CoCoRaHS. While its certainly preferred that you report all the time, of course there's no requirement since its totally volunteer.
