+SNfreak21 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 pretty close to Feb. 2013...the 11.2" came from noaa?... How much did you get? Eastern SI was on the western end of that mod-heavy band in the mid morning, so I'm trying to compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think 14 or 15" is probably a good call on Nassau County for the most part, maybe 18" on the Suffolk border. The big time banding from late yesterday stopped around the Sagtikos and even though snow picked back up, I don't see how totals can be that inflated. Drifting and blowing off roofs has to also be considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle W Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 How much did you get? Eastern SI was on the western end of that mod-heavy band in the mid morning, so I'm trying to compare I'm in Woodrow...we got around 8" eyeballing...I got practically the same in 2013 in Bulls Head...

Cyg Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Got about 3.75 inches here in northern Union County. We actually got more during the last storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG RS Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This is the dumbest post I've ever read on this forum, when you account for the fact that you (presumably) have a college degree.With all due respect, before you call the post idiotic, let's think of the physics here. As pazzo pointed out, the asteroid is 10^9 kg which is granted, exponentially smaller than the earth and moon, however, I was saying all we needed is a small perturbation caused by this gravitational pull. Something just enough to slow the phase down or pull the storm slightly east. Furthermore, it has been shown that the moon effects atmospheric pressure through what has been termed lunar tides. If these lunar tides, though very subtle and affects the upper and outer atmosphere mostly, can change atmospheric pressure, I would think introducing an additional gravitational pull, albeit exceedingly small, may interact with a very large system.

USCG RS Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 But you can calculate the gravitational force that the asteroid would've had on the atmosphere with an iPhone calculator and high school physics. How can someone not be able to solve that problem, yet still be able to interpret model output?Let me clarify. I was not asking what gravitational force would be applied. I was asking if people thought it would be enough to change the outcome of the storm. That takes many other factors into account, not just the gravitational force.

UnionWeatherWx Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 One of the headlines on TWC says "more snow incoming". Man o man people aren't even gonna listen to the news channels anymore.

Christie got embarrassed for the travel ban. Quite the opposite. More people will listen to TWC. They began downplaying the storm in NJ and NYC proper before anyone else. For the NYC region, AW was partly right: It had NYC for 12-24". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooralph Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Enjoy your snow. It's the only snow you've got. Probably only 8-9" in the park, but it is just lovely, champagne powder. If you have snow on the ground, stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out there in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I think they ended up with 17.1 inches at the NWS Office @ Upton and 24.8 inches at Islip MacArthur Airport...after doing some checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Im on the south shore.. re-train the Oceanside guy. must have stuck his ruler in the nearest drift.It's not an outlier though, several area reports are 15-17". A funny discrepancy that stuck out to me was Lake Ronkonkoma 14", ISP 25". Obviously I'm not there so I can't say what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the Oceanside guy who measured 17" that early is full of crap. He would have ended up with over 20" which didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I'm not there so I can't say what happened.It's pretty bad considering what time the measurement was taken at. Edit: when I first saw his total it said 7am earlier this morning (unless I was too sleep deprived to see straight). Now I see it says 9am. Hmmm. Idk. Maybe it's not so bad.

Guest Pamela Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Islip used to measure low...now they measure high...who can figure it? I'm only nine miles to the NNE of Islip and I had only about 18 inches of snow here...more or less. Of course, I do not utilize the 6 hour clear the board method because I am too lazy too and my records are for myself...(I'm not a cooperative observer)...so my totals will tend to run a bit low every year.
