People were dumping on you as well for reporting the obvious. I feel your pain. I guess we should only report if we are getting pummeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens in all the big ones you just never know where till it actually sets up Yeah. I got it to the east of me Jan 4, and to the west of me today. But this kinda snow I can live without. The section I tried to snowblow is sitting in a pile and can't be budged. Superman maybe could do it. Mother nature will have to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People respect you here so you won't get the grief I got for saying the same thing was unfolding over here. We got about 4.5 but when they are telling you to expect 12+ when your own eyes tell you it isn't possible any longer because it just isn't unfolding that way you shouldn't be criticized. People kept telling me stop whining because I was reporting that the storm was underperforming here. I can't report on what it did ten miles to my west because I wasn't there for chrissakes. I could see by about 2 pm that it wasn't gonna happen here. In the end I'm glad because the 4-5 of cement we got is a pain in the neck and causing all sorts of mayhem. If you put it as “this is going to be a bust” before the event is clearly over, you’ll get flak for it here and those posts will probably get deleted. They’re annoying to read. I stopped following things for a while so I don’t know the specific posts. But I get that it’s annoying. I’m definitely not happy with this event but we can’t change it.

People take that as me being a downer, whatever. My original idea was this would be better north and west of the city because of the possibility of a west track. It turned out that the outcome was right but not because it hugged the coast. The low did trend SE last minute and mid level warm air didn’t make it this far north. What killed it for you and I was dry air which is much harder to predict until the storm is underway. I had a warning out for 6-10” and statements for 2-3” per hour snow which never materialized. The snow was much more banded than what usually happens, and in that case there are big winners and losers. UHI was a factor in Manhattan for sure and maybe at the airports, but that’s not what killed it where you and I are, or snow map fantasies. It was lousy rates.

Funny thing was it was snowing pretty hard (and has been this evening too). I just think it happened at the wrong time of the day had it been snowing hard straight through from last night we would have accumulated more. Parts of Long Island got close to double digits anyway.

I'm going back to what I said before about needing true arctic air to get double digit snowfall totals beyond the first couple of days of March. There's a reason that it hasn't happened in NYC since 3/93 and 3/60. For us and for the city anyway since we live in an urban environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be double digits here for sure if the same band that sat over NJ sat over us. We could never have consistent good snow rates today, which melted what did fall in the good periods and also allowed the temps to warm up. The cellular stuff in the WAA batch didn’t do much here and even in heavier echos, it seemed like the snow was pretty light. Anyway, I’ve dissected this enough. Congrats to those who got dumped on.

Paragon Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 There should be one more update around 1 AM, I see the airports measurements are from several hours ago, JFK should be around 4" for the storm total, it's been snowing pretty hard this evening but should be over by midnight.

JM I'm wondering if where we live has something to do with how the bands set up. I honestly can't remember a single storm where that kind of band set up over us, except when we were in an el nino and had the changeover line very close to us (like the unmentionable Jan 2016 that you missed.) Does regional geography determine banding? I know in the summer we often miss out on the best storms because of our geography too. BTW Jan 2016 is the last time NYC had 10.0 inches or more of snow from a single storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... you tend to be conservative which, this time of year especially, is a wise approach. I think it was partly that the SLP hugged the coast more (about AC) though it did not quite touch land. When the SLP around bm took over, the area was able to get into some better snows. In fact, it kind of missed you because the occluding front allowed the dry air to penetrate north into long Island. From around Huntington and east on the north shore, and for Eastern Suffolk, east of 111 about, the dry air of the DCB never quite took over as the SLP near bm began to take over, thus allowing the CCB to develop. Unfortunately, you were in between both of these and was in the screw zone. Had the main SLP been further south, around OC MD, then all of long Island would have stayed in the heavy snow as the dry air was muted in S CT as the DCB did not quite penetrate that far up. Then when the CCB developed, the east end stayed in the precip as did s CT and the rest of LI filled back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchel Volk Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 In addition the cold air mass was stale, so temperatures were marginal. NYC did get over an inch of LWC and got only 2.5”. If the storm came in 8 hrs earlier it would of been below freezing during the event. Also the south winds did not help much, the high was in bad position. This and the mega band on NJ did the city in. The cold air was aloft but the surface was just too warm as it was 36 dew point 33 at 10am, unless you have S or even only S+ not going to get much. The storm acted more like an late March storm as it was very banded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 20 miles west from me. But 2 miles than me had almost twice the amount. But at least the grass is covered and it looks nice out. As this kind of snow is lethal I'm happy to let others deal with the big amounts. I have power and my vehicles can get out without shoveling. I lost satellite for a few hours though.

psv88 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Still snowing heavily but final amount here (western Suffolk) is 8.3”. Got very lucky with banding and being colder early on so the snow stuck.

nesussxwx Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 There were some sharp cutoffs in NENJ...Summit, Berkeley Heights, Scotch Plains all over a foot it seems, EWR came in with 4.4" at 6:50 PM. My dad who lives not too far northeast of Scotch Plains came in with 5.5". That band really meant business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staten Island and Southern Brooklyn/Queens lost a lot more to rain. Though even Bay Ridge, my old stomping grounds, had like 5". I actually think UHI was the biggest factor here. LGA was the lowest report at 1.7", and they have the worst UHI in the entire City. Staten Island has the least urban footprint, and they had 8"...the Bronx is in the middle and had 5-6". Bay Ridge, though far south, is really residential and did decently too, better than much of Midtown Manhattan well to the north. UHI had nothing to do with it here in northeast Queens. We usually accumulate better here than in the more urban areas. The biggest issue was weak snow rates, being caught in the subsidence zone all day. When the rates picked up for the hour or two that they did, a couple of inches accumulated. Even if there was arctic air in place, it still would have been a modest storm here.
