jm1220 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Jan. 26-27, 2011 also had 3"-5" an hour rates, as did February 2006. That was definitely one of my favorite storms. For about 2 hours I could barely see across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Terrible lol. Parts of Dallas received measurable snow I believe yesterday, before knyc So they've already had a freeze in N. Florida because NYC should drop below 32 tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbc Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 That was definitely one of my favorite storms. For about 2 hours I could barely see across the street. Yup. I liked it better than the Boxing Day storm 1 month earlier actually. I had to pick my wife up from Port Imperial ferry in Weehawken, NJ as that sleet T-storm moved through before the 4-5 inch per hour snow insanity began. Winds were gusting to 40mph, there was CG lightning and Heavy Sleet. It is one of the only times in my life I feared for my life while being out in a storm of any kind.

Rjay Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Jan. 26-27, 2011 also had 3"-5" an hour rates, as did February 2006. So did 12/19/09 in parts of LI (especially in and around Upton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 So did 12/19/09 in parts of LI (especially in and around Upton) There was a nice one back in January 2004...two nice ones that month...and I sometimes mix them up...they both produced in the 8 -12 inch range out here...but one of them...the 1st one I think...around mid-month...it was progged to be basically over by 2 AM, IIRC...or at least the bulk of the precip...it was 11 PM...there was maybe an inch or so on the ground...and I knew time was running out...and boom!...heavy snow, blowing snow, strong winds...Blizzard of '83 type whiteout conditions...and probably about 10 inches or so fell in those 3 hours or so...salvaging the storm at the last minute.

doncat Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 incorrect knyc is -1.6 so far for the month Yeah most stations down around -2 degrees... -2.3 here... should have close to -4 departures by end of week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Humidity Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 So did 12/19/09 in parts of LI (especially in and around Upton) 12-19 was a beast of a storm here as well with those insane rates, ended up with 18.1" for that one. The 1-26/27 severe sleet T storm was also a beast but 12-6-03 is king at least here with 14" in 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doncat Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Currently 60.8F, looks like it did reach the 60's after all. Yeah warm front got into your area, only made it to 47 here along with 1.47" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds were gusting to 40mph, there was CG lightning and Heavy Sleet. It is one of the only times in my life I feared for my life while being out in a storm of any kind. Boxing Day 2010 was better here wind-wise with 50-60 mph gusts but the snow intensity was too inconsistent-we had a period late that evening when we were stuck in subsidence while NJ got pounded where we had light falling snow. I'm not sure if that verified at JFK or Long Island terminals as a blizzard but it came very close if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my best Jen walk of all time down the middle of park ave to sutton place which was the only bar open. I had full snowboard gear on googles and all. The combo of wind and snow blowing was down right dangerous if you weren't dressed for it. Full out snow tornadoes as the 50 plus mph gusts blew trough the buildings. I would love to see another storm like that this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Today's weather was not especially riveting by any accounts, but looking at the national picture, it's a wonderful time to be a weather enthusiast. The trough responsible for our synoptic rains today is quite the powerhouse longwave. A snapshot: Perhaps most impressive is the far upper air, where winds approaching 200 kts will contribute to the rapid development of a ~950 mb cyclone along the shores of the Labrador Sea within a couple days.

Shouldn't that throw the nao super positive? It should however send down another blast of cross polar article air. Hudson Bay should be frozen soon which will help send even colder air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJO812 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 GFS Parallel still has the Turkey Day Storm but it's a coastal hugger on this run. http://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/gfsp/2014111800/gfsp_mslp_pcpn_frzn_us_34.png That was definitely one of my favorite storms. For about 2 hours I could barely see across the street. 4 inches in the morning and 14 inches at night with rain in between and thundersnow at night. Boxing Day 2010 was better here wind-wise with 50-60 mph gusts but the snow intensity was too inconsistent-we had a period late that evening when we were stuck in subsidence while NJ got pounded where we had light falling snow. I'm not sure if that verified at JFK or Long Island terminals as a blizzard but it came very close if not. I lost power for 10 mins from Boxing Day. My door was snowed in and a lot of cars were stuck in my area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combo of wind and snow blowing was down right dangerous if you weren't dressed for it. Full out snow tornadoes as the 50 plus mph gusts blew trough the buildings. I would love to see another storm like that this winter. I walked down to the Boardwalk that night and could barely walk against the wind-it was ferocious. The one knock about it was the dry patches that opened up when the megaband set up over E NJ. At one point besides the blowing snow it was flurrying for maybe an hour and that was it where I was. The really heavy snow came back in late that night when the band broke up and pivoted east, and we ended up with 18-19" or so. Very nice but not the 24-30" 30 miles west and southwest of here. 12/19/09 was also very nice here but got really going just a little late for Nassau County. The winds were also strong but much less than Boxing Day. That was probably 15" here. One other winter storm that was also big for wind here was 2/25/10, although the snow didn't start in earnest until that night. The huge wind event here though besides Sandy was the 3/13/10 nor'easter with 75+ mph gusts here. That caused tons of wind and power line damage here-some places in Long Beach had no power for close to a week. It also made a transformer 20 feet from my house explode when a branch slammed into it. Scary event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary event. In regards to the March 2010 storm, there's a wx station at a school across the street from my house and at one point they were reporting winds sustained at 28 mph but gusting to 76 mph. I remember the 1992 Nor'easter had some really high winds too. Nothing matches Sandy in my lifetime wind-wise. Also the labor day derecho really packed a punch.
