Sound effect snow later?

ODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH AN UPPER LOW ROTATING NORTH OF THE

REGION TODAY...WITH ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROTATING UP TOWARDS THE REGION

THIS EVENING. WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW SHOULD GRADUALLY

COME TO AN END TOWARDS DAYBREAK AS SHORTWAVE AXIS MOVES NORTH OF THE

AREA. BUT WITH DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW...UPPER TROUGH AXIS STILL OVER THE

REGION AND ARCTIC AIR STILL INFILTRATING WOULD EXPECT MOSTLY CLOUDY

TO CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED FLURRIES TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY.

BETTER CHANCE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN ZONES AS NEXT SHORTWAVE

PIVOTS UP. ALSO COULD SEE A SOUND EFFECT/ENHANCED BAND OF SNOW

SHOWERS LINING UP ACROSS THE EASTERN SOUTH FORK TODAY AS WIND

TRAJECTORY AND TEMP DIFFERENTIAL BECOMES FAVORABLE. SOME HINTS OF

THIS ALREADY.

that actually makes perfect sense to what we have all observed. Massapequa and levittown are in southeast nassau, the line then goes nw over my house in albertson/roslyn...and garden city is just south of that swath, missing out on the green...pretty crazy to see how much that verified

Yeah, an inch on the grass here in Long Beach with a low of 19 degrees this morning.

There are not many side roads there, and that area floods when it is mostly sunny.

That is a good point. I also remember how bad the ponding was on 110 when I worked in Farmingdale just after high school. I check in here as I am a former Long Islander (grew up in West Islip). Also my friend SBUWX23 is up there now.

the sun came out around 30 mins ago here at the airport but now it's cloudy again and snowing lightly with big flakes...:snowman:

Looks like that Sound effect snow is occurring, check this out. Between upton and riverhead a long fetch only...crazy stuff.

22 at the park as of 1PM. Who wants to bet they max out at 23-25? Should pull a roughly -15 for the day. :)

was just going to post something about this. At 151 it is 22 and probably going nowhere higher, poss 23. At minimum that makes for a -16 departure because our early morning low was 19 and we'll likely do even better than that. That means this was in fact MORE than 5 degrees colder than our coldest day last week, so for all the naysayers who thought this cold shot was weak, well the low 20's high at CPK begs to differ.

No December day in the last 5 years at least has had a high below 24 (24 is the lowest, funny enough, on this same day in 2005). Unlike 2005 though, the blowtorch from hell does not begin tomorrow. :)

Besides 12/14/05, only a few other days have had highs in the 20s, and all 27+.

& yes, with NYC at 22 still as of 2PM, the high should be 23 or lower, which is incredible for December standards.

As of 3PM NYC is still at 22 degrees. I think it's safe to say we've maxed out at either 22 or 23. Can anyone go back and see when the last December day with a high this low or lower was? I'm going to guess it'll be at least back to 2000.

Still only maxed out at 22 degrees. I think that's going to be the high for the day. This is like a -18 departure.

Coldest high in December 2000 was 27 degrees. Today is one of the coldest December days in many many years.

ended up with 1.5" of snow here. 24.9 was the 'daytime' high here - although it was 25.7 at midnight so that will count as the daily high.

Although i am a fan of the snow - this cold has caused us to use heating oil a lot quicker this past few weeks. I put 61 gallons in (which came to 1/4 tank) the Monday before Thanksgiving and as of today, i am a hair above Empty. Wasn't planning on putting more oil in until new years but looks like i'll have to scrape up some cash to buy more oil. I'm hoping for my wallets sake that this cold lets up soon

Coldest since 12/14/2007 when the high was 24 at NYC. Also had a 23 degree high on 12/20/1995. The last time NYC recorded a high below 23 degrees was 20 degrees back on 12/27/1993.
