Paragon Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just now, Cfa said: Is snowfall measured at KJRB? The downtown heliport? I don't think so. It isn't measured at Farmingdale-Republic Airport either from what I recall. And they stopped measuring it at white plains too, I think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was plenty of moisture. There wasn't any blocking though. If this storm was closer to the coast, the amounts would have been a lot higher.

It was a pretty good storm for what we had this season so far. And a day time "photogenic" snowstorm- those are rare; I'd give this storm a B+...the only negative I can think of is that it was a fast mover.

We were just debating a pattern. In the end, I think the verification will be a bit of a compromise, as usual: temperatures will probably finish warmer than he thought, and snowfall higher than I thought. I see lots of 40s and 50s next week which could make the Jan 5-20 pattern near to above normal. We all said there was a window 1/7-1/10 for a snowfall. So no surprise there. Well predicted by most of the good minds on this forum; PB is certainly one of the better thinkers and analysts we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well predicted by most of the good minds on this forum; PB is certainly one of the better thinkers and analysts we have. Forecasting snowfall is always a risky proposition, especially in this era of higher SST, storms that would have gone out to sea in the 80s seem to be strengthening more quickly and staying closer to the coast. I think we should look into "close calls" in bad patterns and see if more "close calls" are becoming "hits" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.I.Pete Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just shy of 9" in Port Jeff Station, snow has lightened up for the moment. Foot-plus of packed snow in all intersections...Enough to close Five Guys, McDonalds, Wahlburger's, and Wendy's, apparently. Taco Bell FTW. Good call by PB and Forky. I've really come to love our LI specials these past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed You're probably right about that, this storm kind of reminds me of a weaker version of the "middle" storm in January 2011, where parts of Suffolk County got 20" but the rest of us had like 6-9" The thing is if the storm got its act together faster, I don't think it would matter for those of us west of Suffolk County unless the track was further to the west.

Thanks for reminding me but it was more like 2014-15 lol. 2013-14 was the winter where we had snow events changing to mix events here (still a very good winter though- including an unexpected half inch of snow in the middle of April, on tax day.) 2014-15 was the super cold winter with the big blizzard that just missed us to the east in January, but a very snowy and cold February and March.
