bluewave Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I believe this was the 9th event to produce 12 inches or more at Islip since the 09-10 winter. Too bad those ski runs had to close in Suffolk around the early 80's or so. This would have been the perfect era for a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable stretch and then there's the opposite. The snow hole must be massive out in parts of PA, SE NY, and even NW NJ from all these coastals.

SnowGoose69 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 9 minutes ago, Morris said: Central Park got 9.8 I’ve noticed that Stuyvesant Town report is usually pretty good too. They matched Central Park exactly this time. Overall aside from Newark it seems both airports measured too low. I think JFK AND LGA were under heavier echoes for a longer period than Central Park was so they should have been around 10-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jims Videos Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Brick NJ recorded 18 inches. That seems more than reasonable. I spent all day in Point Pleasant Beach under that band for 8 hours. We had white out conditions for multiple hours at a time. Easily top 5 storm for me. Maybe top 3. 1) 96 2) PDII 3) JAN 15 OR JAN 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas just east of jfk and myself (approx 10 miles west) reported amounts of around 11-12 inches. I don’t believe they only had 8, unless the wind skewed their measurements.

Glad that was a bust low. Glad that much of the area finally had an overperformer as well after a pretty disappointing system in early Dec and other minor events coming in on the low end of the accum range.

JFK and LGA were under much more intense and a longer duration during deform band. Both stations definitely had more then NYC and EWR. Especially EWR. EWR never got into the heart of the band and they missed the 1st 1-2 hours of it. Numerous spotter and public reports surrounding the 2 airports reported 10"-13.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternLI Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 3 hours ago, tim said: ..just came in..brutal out there. drifting is unreal..got a 2' drift across the driveway..measured in a few spots 12" 18" 14"...going with 14.5"..thats my best guess at this point. Just finished up a bunch of cleanup. Didn't want to freeze doing it. This jives with what I was seeing here. Complete with 2' drift down the driveway. Only difference is I measured a 12" 15" 16" when I was out there, so I'm just going to go ahead and call it 14.5" also. We were catching the same banding, so it makes sense. Still have some snow falling with this last little band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
