FPizz Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The 8.5 was my measurment. Glad we were close with our measurments. Very cool. The wind was making it a bit hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag3 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I have never seen a storm with such drastic gradients of snow amounts as this on for the NYC metro. Both some major overperforming and underperforming all within 100 miles or so.NYC and its boroughs were generally 10"-16" of snow.Definitely no underperformer and pretty well forecasted.

ag3 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 We missed the timing of the phase. IF we caught it in time, we'd be 24 to 36+, like CT.The warm tongue resulted in 5-8" less snow in NYC and Nassau. At least.I would've had at least 19" of snow if I didn't lose .50"+ to sleet. I still finished with 12.5" and I'm very satisfied. I never saw rain. The worst it got was rain/sleet for an hour but the rest of the warm tongue was wasted with pure sleet/snow in Northern Queens.

I know the park recorded 1-2 hours of rain but I'm about a mile and a half NE not that it had a huge diff but didnt see much rain here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK once again was way too low compared to just about every other measurement. Both LGA and Central Park averaged about a foot. I'm 20 minutes away from JFK and got much more than 6".

psv88 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 12 inches here in central nassau. alot of sleet cut down on my totals. that heavy band at 3 am was sick. Kudos to suffolk boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just saw the PNS out of Upton (sorry have been focused on new England power outages for work). Nice all around! I honestly think Upton did well under the circumstances of being right on the line. Fortunately for snow lovers it was a huge bonus in some cases. I miss the big ones from when I lived in west islip (where I grew up), including PDII and '96. I was fortunate in NC to witness a "storm of the century" in 2000 when 21" fell where I was in one night on a 3-5" forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little rain/sleet but it was mostly sleet and we accumulated about 1/2 to an inch of sleet/snow slop before the real stuff came in.

I'm probably taking a drive up Rte 110 later and then maybe east on 25A out toward Smithtown. The LIE seems to be where accumulations really changed. I can't even imagine how heavy it must have been coming down around 4-6pm, we were absolutely dumping sleet here and they had heavier banding than we did.

bluewave Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 JFK once again was way too low compared to just about every other measurement. Both LGA and Central Park averaged about a foot. I'm 20 minutes away from JFK and got much more than 6". On some of these big storms they come out too low for the totals in the adjacent communities like 1-26-11. Compare it to Howard Beach and other nearby communities in Queens and Nassau. http://www.erh.noaa.gov/okx/StormEvents/storm01262011.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyg Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Ended with 7.5 inches. That's plenty as I have a 40 foot driveway and no snowblower. lol I took quite a bit of video but it's going to be some time before I compile it all into a single video.

EasternLI Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Saw this image of another "Car Graveyard" on Rt. 25. on FB. Not sure what town. That's basically all towns east of nassau suffolk border from what I'm hearing. Still amazed that I experienced hours of rain maybe freezing rain, and still wound up with somewhere around 20 in. and the rain was heavy too. If we didn't change over, I think all of suffolk would be reporting 30 in totals. Just unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Would have loved to experience those sick totals like they did in SNE with those 25-30"+ amounts. Besides 1996, which I was not here for, the only event I experienced that was close to that was PD II with 23". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Saw this image of another "Car Graveyard" on Rt. 25. on FB. Not sure what town. So strange we had this sort of thing happened with this storm, we've definitely had storms in recent years put down 3-4 inch per hour rates during bad times of day. I wonder if maybe there was some poor preparation on the part of some of the removal crews out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if maybe there was some poor preparation on the part of some of the removal crews out there. Probably. Most forecasts were calling for 24" at most for LI when some end up with much more. I also think the fact that it was raining and sleeting for hours made some people thought it was ok to go out on the roads, and the rain probably caused the DOT to respond late.
