REDMK6GLI Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 This guy is suing the city for this. This happened right near my area. Not too far away. Yea see a plow coming by plowing a ton of snow and not taking cover? Im going to sue the city because i need the money to compensate for my sheer stupidity. This person is a prime examply of the level of intelligence that some human beings possess at the lowest level.

TwcMan Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I will say this...not many times do we both get severe cold and severe snowfall throughout the whole year around here. IMO usually when it's a snowy winter, it's a warmer than average winter and usually when it's a colder than average winter(doesn't really happen too often anymore) snowfall isn't as severe. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't 95-96 a warmer than average winter? I know winters like 02/03 03/04 were very cold but we already exceeded those years in the snowfall department. This winter isn't over yet and I know we can turn on a dime but so far this winter has been known for both severe cold and severe snow and I think that's amazing.

SnoSki14 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's been a great winter like I said but I can't put it above 2002-2003, 2009-2010, and 2010-2011 as those featured at least one significant KU event, which is really the one thing this winter has lacked though it came really close with the past storm (for some arguably enough to justify it being a significant KU event for the area). Even though 2010-2011 was basically a 1 month winter, that period was the most incredible period of snow I've ever experienced and it slightly trumps this winter. There were plenty of moderate to near major events, but they weren't memorable enough to push this above what I consider to be the best winters since 2000. One can only imagine how even more epic the winter would have been with sustained periods of blocking. The blocking could have transformed the past system from major to historic (top 3-5 all time).

Guest Pamela Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 With 3.2 inches of snow today, NWS Upton exceed the 50" plateau for the 4th time in the last 5 years...the 8th time in the last 14 years...and the 10th time in the last 21 years...truly an amazing achievement for a station out on Long Island, NY. http://www.bnl.gov/weather/4cast/MonthlySnowfall.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEG NAO Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's been a great winter, #5 ranked in my opinion since the year 2000 This is a Top 10 Winter so far since 1869 in NYC - could end up being a Top 5 or higher for combination of below normal temps and above normal snowfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDMK6GLI Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 when is the last timed they did a complete resurfacing of that road ? That road almost always has had constant construction whether it be work related to the pavement i dont know but i avoid the belt parkway like the plague. If i have to go through the city i take the long way to avoid that death trap of a road and especially if it is raining. NYC has some of the worst road maint. Around and its not much better out here on LI or NY for that matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 When winter is over where i am excitement whether wise as far as severe weather goes doesnt resume till the following winter. Severe weather all but exists where i am in SW suffolk county and cannot remember the last time a severe thunderstorm warning verified with winds and/ or hail. In between winters for its heat, rain w/ embedded thunder and that is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjay Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 From 1980 - 1990...a station called Westbury was set up 4 or so miles east of Mineola in Nassau County. Here is some stuff I wrote over at Eastern on Nassau weather and that station... the most reliable and representative cooperative weather station in Nassau County during the 1980's. The name of the station was Westbury, and though it was in operation for only 10.5 years (1/1/1980 - 6/30/1990), it provided a virtually gap free picture of the weather in Nassau County during those years. Besides being gap free, it is located very close to the geographical center of the county, about half way between North and South Shores and roughly midway between the Queens and Suffolk lines. Even better, a quick inspection of the temperature data shows that it was far enough east to be outside the NYC heat island, consistently recording temperatures well below those in NYC. , here are some of the interesting climate stats from far and away Nassau County's most reliable and representative station during the 1980's: Westbury Annual Snowfall: 1980-81: 22.7" 1981-82: 27.5" 1982-83: 31.4" 1983-84: 30.4" 1984-85: 28.8" 1985-86: 16.5" 1986-87: 33.4" 1987-88: 24.4" 1988-89: 15.8" 1989-90: 23.5" Mean: 25.44" Westbury Notable Snowstorms: 1/7/81: 6.9" 3/5/81: 10.4" 1/14/82: 8.1" 4/6/82: 8.8" 12/12/82: 5.7" 2/12/83: 16.5" 1/11/84: 4.7" 1/18/84: 5.7" 3/9/84: 7.0" 12/27/84: 6.8" 1/17/85: 5.5" 2/6/85: 4.9" 2/8/86: 4.0" 2/11/86: 4.1" 1/23/87: 8.2" 1/26/87: 4.6" 2/23/87: 4.8" 1/4/88: 7.1" 1/9/88: 6.8" 12/13/88: 3.7" 1/6/89: 6.2" 11/23/89: 7.2" 2/25/90: 4.4" Mean Annual Snowfall (1980-81 - 1989-90) Westbury: 25.44" Brookhaven Lab / Upton OKX: 25.41" LaGuardia Airport: 21.66" John F Kennedy Airport: 20.28" Central Park: 19.74" Since I've moved out to Port Jefferson, I've often commented on how snowy the 2001 - 2010 period had been at the nearby Brookhaven Lab / Upton OKX. But the above record clearly shows that during the 1980's Westbury and Upton OKX, were in a virtual dead heat for mean annual snowfall. November and April Snow Events At Westbury: 11/17/80: 0.2" 4/6/82: 8.8" 4/19/83: 1.4" 11/19/86: 1.7" 11/11/87: 1.1" 11/23/89: 7.2" 4/7/90: 2.6" It also got quite cold in Westbury during the 1980's. On 10 separate days the mercury dipped to zero Farenheit or below: 12/25/80: -1 1/9/81: 0 1/12/81: -1 1/17/82: -5 1/18/82: -7 1/21/84: -3 1/22/84: -5 1/21/85: -4 1/11/88: 0 1/15/88: -1 I'm quite happy I was finally able to obtain access to this climatological data. It paints an extremely clear picture of Nassau County weather during the 1980's. I only regret that observations ceased on 6/30/1990. It would have been interesting to see what kind of data would have been recorded in Westbury during the tumultuous last 24 years. Nice thanks for the info. I knew they used to have one over in Westbury but the number you found are great. I've never seen them. Is Farmingdale now keeping records?
