It's actually better down here during the summer since we get great seabreezes to take the edge off the heat. The only exception are the very hot offshore flow days when the seabreeze is cutoff.

That goes to show it picked up strength. We'll have to see if that batch in PA holds together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a flight out of EWR tonight so I need this to clear up sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have mixing issues here, then it eventually makes it north to your area. Agree to disagree I guess. I had about 44" inches of snow this winter, about the same as Upton. South Shore areas got less. It's also the LI sound effect. I think it was January blizzard this year where the north shore cashed in on a sound enhanced inverted trough, which didnt make it south of the LIE for the most part. The north shore from Bayside, Queens east often add to their totals due to this effect. In marginal events, which there were a few this winter, you were "snowing" but not sticking, while we had a snow covered roads. So its more complicated than the south shore areas staying all snow. For example, in the sleet storm, blizzard bust, i was sleeting for 2-3 hours below freezing after ISP had turned to rain already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sun felt intense for a bit, but it clouded up. Now I'm by JFK and the temp plummeted from the 70's to 63 during the shower that passed through, should warm up again though.

The South Shore did great with the blizzard January when JFK set their all time record for the heaviest snowstorm. http://www.weather.gov/okx/Blizzard_Jan2016 Further east tracks like Jan 15,February 13, and December 09 were more of a problem for me rather than north vs south. If a storm is going to changeover, then it isn't a big deal for me if it's an hour or two faster than the North Shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekken_Guy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 After today looks like we're going back to typical April mildness. We'll get a warm Sunday but highs will stay in the 60s for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a storm is going to changeover, then it isn't a big deal for me if it's an hour or two faster than the North Shore. With SWFE's for example, many times the south shore changes over or mixes while the north shore stays all frozen right to the end of the storm. Jim from Long Beach will tell you his experiences with that... The Snowicane i believe comes to mind as another example, where the south shore mixed but LIE north stayed all snow and we dumped, got like 16" or some crazy amount. I believe it was the snowicane. The difference between Commack and ISP and even FRG in marginal events is huge. Once you go even further north towards Caumsett its like a different climate altogether.

I don't really mind with SWFE's since they aren't our top end snowstorms anyway. It's more of a disappointment for me when KU's track too far east for me to jackpot.

With more of a WSW flow, parts of Long Island may see their first 80 of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What "warm less spell" we've been doing nothing but torching and it looks to continue with the pacific firehose promoting more eastern ridging. Guarantee this April ends up being another top 10 warmest month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
