NorthShoreWx Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Are you trying to say you're colder than me? Temp under your avatar says 34. I think he is saying that 31.5 is less than 34. Usually, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LnbWx Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Moderate snow in Midtown. For obvious reasons, nothing sticks much on sidewalks and roads. I can see some decent accumulation on rooftops though. Commute was not bad either. Pretty normal going this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSNN4 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 He keeps saying mid 30s because he cant believe NYC and LI are colder then him. 31.8 degrees here in Queens. It's crazy, our Hudson County Mesonet clearly shows its colder by a degree or two in eastern section then the western sections compared to Harrison and Kearny, we don't see that too often the network has 14 sensors spread across the county.

snywx Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Radar shows snow over most of Orange county until 2p. Isn't so out there? Haven't seen a flake since 9am.. Sun has poked out from time to time. Very lgt coating There is a batch of decent precip approaching from the west so time will tell i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Gorilla Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Screwed again. My coating is melting back to bare ground. Snow has stopped. Putting a fork in this stupid event. Weekend looks to be a mix now too. The Poughkeepsie, NY snow hole reigns supreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wxnyc Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have two questions, number one where is the cold air for tonight? I see basically 30 as the lowest temperature in ny state including western and northern parts. Second question is I don't ever remember getting a good snowfall in the 3-6 inch range with a northwest wind, do any of you remember a situation like that. Otherwise I'm psyched for our first snowfall for nyc and I will happy to observe from Brooklyn (home) and woodmere (work) and in between (belt parkway is sure to be a fun ride tomorrow if this snowfall happens. Just got home from work and while it was pounding snow and nice for a few hours this was another lesson about basic forecasting. The models can show what they show but in the end climatology and local trends , knowledge can and needs to be used before the final forcast is given.1. If all night long temps are struggling to fall on light west and southwest winds that's not a good sign. 2. If you look at upstate ny and central Pennsylvania and see them struggling to drop under 30 that's not a great sign. 3.Finally , we have never gotten more than a passing snowfall be as much it a few inches without north or northeast winds. So while I am all in and love snow, this snowfall just reinsured that before I get too worked up , I'd still look at the plain old thermometer , and wind vane. Any thoughts?

Yes good old common sense and knowledge of ones own local climate can go a long way in helping with the forecast.... that being said I think the forecast worked out pretty well with most places receiving the 2-4 inches that most forecasted.
