Alpha5 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 More like 3 million, but who is counting 4 million people? But I do get the point a lot of people were affected. 3-4 in a metro of 21+ million is not that impressive. For everyone outside of Suffolk county, it was a disaster storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 The February 5-6 2010 storm was a disaster for many, especially the city on north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Second low temperature forecast bust in a row? Last night's forecast here was 28 degrees, instead it was 23. Tonight's forecast low is 29, and it's already 30 degrees and dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCSuburbs Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Watch the loop of Dec 19-20, 2009.... The explosion of moisture is quite remarkable. The sfc low went a bit too far east as it went ENE, instead of NNE.... If, it did go NNE, we would, also be covered with 18-24-30" amounts. Would have been a category 4 on the scale; maybe even 5. SNE got 12-24" also. Looking at the loop just before the storm reached the area, it almost looked like it was coming straight towards us before ending up a bit too far SE. Almost as bad as the March 09 NE NJ disaster when the snow went straight towards NYC but the bands split with NE NJ in the middle, places to my NW and SE got 8+ inches while I got a wind blown 4" with grass showing in spots.

Guest Pamela Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I recall on Eastern prior to December 19-20, 2009, how massive it could have potentially be.... Of the 7 KU events in the 23 month period from March 2009 - January 2011, that was the best one out at the WSO @ Upton: Storm totals: March 1 - 2, 2009: 14.0" Dec 19 - 20, 2009: 26.3" Feb. 10, 2010: 13.4" Feb 25 - 26, 2010: 10.4" Dec 26, 2010: 18.8" Jan 11 - 12, 2011: 14.1" Jan 26 - 27, 2011: 13.3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris L Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 February 6, 2010 would have been NESIS 6 if it turned up the coast. you mean NESIS 5, and yes, I agree, no doubt about it. Parts of Maryland got 35 inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hailstorm Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 By NESIS 6, I meant that the NWS would had have to come up with a higher category because the storm would have been off the charts if it came up the coast like 12/27/2010 did.

TheTrials Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Don't get me wrong I'm not saying I'm not happy it didnt snow but that storm was only impressive for a select few on strong island.

MJO812 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 February 6, 2010 would have been NESIS 6 if it turned up the coast. I received 2 inches from this storm while Staten Island got 7 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 LGA didnt drop below freezing! Perfect heat island/ radiation cooling situation going on this week, Who cares. LGA represents only the LGA. I easily went below freezing and I am 4 miles east of the airport. Evidence? Frost and frozen puddles everywhere. A nearby pond even had a skim of ice on it.

Stormlover74 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 One can get frost without necessarily having an air temperature below freezing. It could be 34 or 35. Who cares.

tornadojay Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 boy, it doesn't look to be getting any better is it...
