uofmiami Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 All snow in Great Neck, ground is getting coated! Still don't get why OKX dropped WWA, especially for Northern zones on Long Island. That was the whole reason the zones were split, for storms just like this, oh well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KEITH L.I Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 lesson #1..believe the GFS and NAM snowmaps..if it shows nothing for Long Island it's not because it thinks we're the ocean lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Per SUNY MM5 you (Smithtown) are in the clear Ed...warmest seems to be around 2:30 PM..and temps should fall thereafter. Heaviest snow in our area between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Only problem is quick movement...not much west of us after 7:00 PM. With the way the radar is blossoming south of LI, there could be some serious lost opportunity between now and 3PM. Its a very light mix here now and temp is about scraping 36. I'm hoping to see more snow if it gets a little heavier, but hope does spring eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 And thats why I am not a pro met. Not even a flake at the start in Wantagh plain rain and 35 after some nice radiational cooling last night got us into the mid 20's... You learn as you go I guess I never thought such a light east flow could do this and bam it did. Moving 6 miles NE from Long Beach was not enough!

PB GFI Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is the initial punch of the mid level warming , it will start to ease off through the next few hours from west to east and from north to south , so If you are raining on Long Island chill you will snow later , and this is why the GFS - NAM snow maps for zero snow on Long Island are to be ignored .

SnowGoose69 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Its a good thing that the primary low did not give the area precipitation, if it had its entirely possible we'd be seeing more RA right now because it would have weakly wet bulbed out some locations before this heavier precipitation had a chance to really thump it down.

ag3 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Snow intensity increasing. Already coating the ground. Whoever survives the next 3 hours of WAA, will likely remain all snow for the whole event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisnow66 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Raining here in Westbury. Much harder for snow to stock now with huge puddles unless temps drop quite a bit. Oh well. Good luck folks north and west of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simpsonsbuff Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 The 1151 reports had JFK as Rain/Snow, LGA and Central Park as Snow. Matches up with what folks have been saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 How about we just make definitive statements after the storm has departed. I hate all these claims and definitive statements being made before the event even begins. If people knew what was going to happen there would be no need for discussion and no uncertainty. Let's see what happens today and how this unfolds. It is very well possible somewhere like the city could benefit from stronger banding which could boost their total. Precipitation amounts vary greatly across the board. The radar trends pretty much agree with the GFS/SREF that the heaviest precip is east and that the NAM looks overdone further west. But higher ratios there should compensate somewhat for the lower precip amounts than the NAM has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
