Guest Pamela Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Snowing lightly again here. 18F Another quick 6 inches and you will have as much as your fellow Smithtownian... <though that presupposes it doesn't snow on him...or he just doesn't see it...or send it to OKX> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Another quick 6 inches and you will have as much as your fellow Smithtownian... I am quite pleased with the dumping we got. I'd be even more pleased with some more. This winter is failing to suck so far. It was mediocre before yesterday, but never got to the point of sucking all the hope out of the more well rounded winter freaks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mediocre before yesterday, but never got to the point of sucking all the hope out of the more well rounded winter freaks, Thanks for mentioning the snow...it is doing the same here...with the traditional streamers coming down from the Nutmeg State...if an inch or so adds up...I can assuage any pangs of guilt I might feel about the "overmeasurment" by keeping the new fall off the books. Though it looks just like some flurries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a quick couple measurements outside my office in Port Jeff Station around 1 today, averaged 17". Maybe it compacted a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pamela Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 With the amazing recent frequency of these very high snow amounts...I do believe that there is good parallel with a period of excessive inflation in Argentina that took place some time ago...where paper money was no longer worth anything...you used it for wallpaper...a six pack of Budweiser would cost $800.

Though it looks just like some flurries. I have guilt that I could have under measured, but I just couldn't find a defensible way to call it more. By the way, it was 15". I have to go through the video and see what looks good. This was a very nice event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pamela Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 So you believe that we will go back to a period of six inch snowstorms being on the heavy side?

USCG RS Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I really don't know...the future is very uncertain...I seldom make any plans beyond my next breath.Yeah my line of work has definately taught me that. Was just curious to see what you thought. Personally I believe all weather is cyclical and as such we are just going through a stretch of more active weather.

For storms years back...even 4 inch ones...I could recall all the events of the day...and I still can...but there's been soo many of these recently...even last year's snowstorms have all dissolved into a long, grey line...

Yes I do believe things do work in cycles and things such as fate & destiny are rather difficult to circumvent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ..woke up to an additional 1.5"..radar from last nite showed one last shot of snow.brings me to twenty three and half inches for storm total.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 +1 sunset a few moments ago. It didn't last long as the clouds thickened again. Maybe that snow shower over central CT will make it here in a bit. Wonderful photo. I saw a similar sunset from Patchogue last evening while visiting family. It was gorgeous, to say the least.

EasternLI Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ..woke up to an additional 1.5"..radar from last nite showed one last shot of snow.brings me to twenty three and half inches for storm total.. Yup. Looks like I grabbed about 1" here (confetti) overnight also (just eyeballing it). Then I took this pic today, when you see this you know it was a good storm.

Dino Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Some video I captured from when it started coming down (11pm on the 26th) to where it really came down hard (3am on the 27th). I didn't venture outside but am assuming the winds were definitely in the 40-50mph range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
