Is that the new NWS map, Ed? I thought they had the lower half of Long Island in 20-25 and the upper half of Long Island in 25-30. There are very few data points used to make up that map. I think someone drew the darker blob around Riverhead to reflect the data from the old coop which is close to 30". Further west, Setauket /Strongs Neck coop which is on the north shore has a long term average (going back over a century) of 21". Any one believe that?

I like snow but not cold. I'd like to have 30 degrees and 6 inches of snow one day a week, another 3-4 days in the 30s and the other 2-3 days in the 40s or 50s every week in the winter.

Is that the best spot we have to take the new Long Island snowfall capital position? I hope they are keeping good data. I think there's one on the south shore close to me (Oceanside or Lynbrook I think?) that might take the low snowfall capital position lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we had a long lasting snowpack was 2015. All our snows since then have been followed by temps over 50 or 60 degrees within about 10 days.

the_other_guy Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 This was a good run. Can’t compare this the last two years when the snow literally was gone almost immediately. This was a good snowstorm followed by a week of solid cold...And as someone who’s lived in New York for 35 years that’s about as good as it gets without some sort of warm up. Feb 15 was the exception not the rule. NYC Gets snow but it very rarely holds it for a majority of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 In Europe, areas with a mean temperature at or below -3°C (26.6°F) are the areas that retain a snowpack. It’s not that cold here, outside of maybe higher elevations north and west of the city, the city itself has a mean temp of roughly 2°C for the winter. We’re also at a more southerly latitude than the vast majority of Europe, which means longer winter days and stronger sunshine. Mean temperatures colder than -3°C may actually be required to retain a real snowpack in eastern North America, for the aforementioned reasons. In Japan, locations with the same average temperatures as here receive significantly more snowfall than we do. Although their snow is drier than ours typically is, I’d imagine it’s enough retain a snowpack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
