jm1220 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Latest RAP actually pretty aggressive, gets 6-8" back to Nassau, maybe eastern Queens. HRRR is about the same, and demolishes eastern Suffolk. It gets 0.5" liquid to NYC and 1" to about the Nassau/Suffolk border. 2" for Riverhead east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Been snowing almost moderately for 45 minutes and it took about half that time to start accumulating - we now have a kind of slushy coating on cars and grass, but nothing on pavement, not surprisingly. Temp down to 33F, but the nice 20+ DBZ band we've been under for most of the last 45 minutes is shrinking, so it might go back to white rain. Hoping to make it to my 2.5" prediction for my house, but will need some more intensity than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 16 hours ago, NJwx85 said: How much snow did you have for December 26, 2010? I would also argue that the North shore and South shore have very different long term climos. When people refer to the coast getting "lucky" they are generally referring to the South shore of LI and the far Eastern end which have all done very well the last 15-20 years. South shore of western LI is in a major snow shadow because you usually have storms that jackpot the western areas (mixes or rains here) or eastern LI (north or south shore) in which case we get the western fringe. It's a very weird place to be in lol. Because of the way Long Island slants to the north the further east you go, sometimes you even have the weird situation of it snowing in the Hamptons while it's raining here- though that's rare. Boxing Day, the storm you're referring to, my unofficial measurement for that storm was 18" I think JFK's was somewhat less than that. But going with either measurement, there have been only 4 20"+ storms here going back to the early 80s (Feb 1983, Jan 1996, PD2 and Jan 2016.) It sounds like how often they "should" occur, based on historical climatology (which is like once a decade or so), but compared to Central Park's spike (as well as the increase in big snowstorms for Suffolk County), we've stayed around where we were before 2000 in terms of historic snowstorms. Though if you get off the historic numbers and just go with major (double digit) snowstorms, 10"+ then we've seen a big increase too- just not the number of 20"+ historic snowstorms other areas have gotten.

Paragon Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 16 hours ago, psv88 said: This is extremely inaccurate man. Just wrong a million ways. First, historic is not 20+, that’s absurd. Next, w LI is well above average since 2000, it’s not even up for debate. Total snowfall is above average sure (though it isn't on the same level as other areas)- note I'm specifically referring to southwestern LI (as represented by JFK)- not w LI overall. But yea, historic is 20"+ what else would you make the numbers..... 10"? 12"? Because those occur far too frequently to be considered "historic." I consider historic a one in ten year occurrence, which a 20" snowfall fits perfectly for this region. Historic total seasonal snowfall is around 50" based on the same probabilities.

Final Snow Totals 128 AM EST TUE DEC 28 2010.txt I think you guys got more than we did in SW Nassau though, I measured around 18. Another example of what I'm talking about, but applied to seasonal totals is looking at that period of 4 straight 40 inch seasons NYC got between 02-03 and 05-06, which went something like 49, 43, 42, 40 inches..... here it was more like 56, 37, 36 and 25 inches. Only one year of 40+ (02-03 the year we jackpotted with PD2) and 05-06 was way lower than the NYC total because we got much less than they did in the Feb 2006 storm.

I know the Howard Beach spotter who measured 18.0 he's the same one who got the 28" measurement for PD2. In my local area I'm seeing a minimum of 16.0 to a maximum of 19.4. I think JM might have done the 16.0 measurement. It's really hard to measure these high wind snowstorms- Feb 1978 had some vast undermeasurements too.
