Juno, Nemo, Bartlo, they are all the same to me. I need a date. They have a method for naming midlatitude cyclones in Europe, I'm not sure what their criteria is, but that should be utilized.

Paragon Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 7 hours ago, NJwx85 said: Because it's not being done by an official agency such as the NHC does for tropical cyclones. Secondly nobody knows what the true criteria is for a named storm, however the parameters for naming a tropical cyclone are well defined. The names also don't seem to follow any particular pattern or have any meaning. It's nothing more than a publicity stunt by a weather media outlet. The way to do it would be to hook it up to NWS warning criteria- set the minimum limit to winter storm warnings covering X number of square miles and/or affecting Y number of people. I think they do that but they need to refine it and have different sets of names for different geographic parts of the country. Also, this method leaves out rainy windy noreasters which can have just as much or more impact, so I would also argue for including high wind warnings and flood warnings in the criteria.

I think this storm came on the anniversary of last year's (as well as the superstorm and March 1888). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I wish I was around earlier to follow the observation thread earlier. Plainview reported 11 - next closest Nassau number was 6, and due south of Plainview on the south shore averaged around 2. I think we usually see those N/S differences more pronounced in Suffolk than Nassau. These N/S differences feel like April 10 1996. Did anyone witness the event in Plainview or Dix Hills? 11" given the initial difficulty accumulating must have been a sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK had 4-5. Btw this storm is going to curve back to the west into Maine? Why couldn't it do that at our latitude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1220 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Late this afternoon, there was good snow coverage on Old Country Road in Mineola and Westbury, decent coverage south of there along Hempstead Turnpike, and much less south of the Southern State. South of Merrick Rd there was practically none. There probably was 5” along Old Country Road but there’s no way I had over an inch or so. The most there ever was on the ground was a thick coating that began melting as soon as the deform band pushed east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long was the trip? The roads were fine as far as snow. A lot of black ice though. Southampton had more snow than even the next town over on each side. They must have had one hell of a snow band positioned over them. I'll take photos on my way back once it's daylight although I'm sure a lot melted. It took me 3 hours to get out here. Winds are gusting to 30 but there's not a cloud in the sky and all the stars are out. I'll post photos tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
