If I recall, earlier this winter, even as photos showed the ground covered by snow, the Park reported a trace.

My 2 cents on the best way to get this to change is to put it in terms $$$, as in aid that NYC misses out on from the state because they can't justify asking for as much $ as they'd like because the snow totals are artificially low. I'm making this up but I bet that there's enough truth in it that it could be enough to get the necessary investment to address the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was nice that our early March snow stayed on the ground for quite awhile. It was like 8 or 9 inches of cement, so it took quite awhile to melt.

jm1220 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're definitely melting quickly in Long Beach. Snow is rapidly disappearing from pavement and even on the grass we have considerably less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 So I got home to wantagh at 8am and measured and got an average of 11”. At 7am the Wantagh spotter reported 11” as well. Obviously there was compaction overnight. What should I put in my logs??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, earlier this winter, even as photos showed the ground covered by snow, the Park reported a trace. It sounds right to me. I was in better banding then Central Park to their East and ended with 10.9". I could see why I would get 2"-2.5" more then them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCG RS Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're definitely melting quickly in Long Beach. Snow is rapidly disappearing from pavement and even on the grass we have considerably less. Ridge, Centereach, Smithtown & all the locales in the northern shore which I have passed today have exhibited a plethora of melting and compaction. One place at my buddy's house which originally measured 19" is down to 13.2" and this was as of 1300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re supposed to measure once the snow ends, and it’s one measurement on a board per 24 hours. When did it end? Around 3-4am? I measured about 11” as well early this morning around 6:45, but I have no idea of what compacted before then. It also wasn’t on a board. Crazy-it looks nothing like that much fell now with how much it’s melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like 8 or 9 inches of cement, so it took quite awhile to melt. Big difference between early March and late March. It's common to have snowpack in the region through around March 10th, then it gets progressively more difficult as average highs approach 50F near the equinox. The March 2004 equinox storm melted in one day. We had 8" around dawn in Dobbs Ferry, then by dusk it was all gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluewave Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 One of my fastest snowmelts. March sun, temps in the 50's, and compaction really went to work here today. Started out with 13" and now down to 6". Giant puddles everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ll go with 13” based off Massapequa having several 14” measurements. amazing melting rates for such dense snow pack. Had it been early January and cold we would have this around for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy-it looks nothing like that much fell now with how much it’s melting. I had no idea they changed the rules on that. I thought you were supposed to clear the board every 6 hours. I always wonder what airports do with those hourly measurements. I assume measure in a different place because I’ve seen SNINCR 2/5 one hour then next hour I see SNINCR 2/6 so they must be measuring the total on the ground in a different spot (I would hope), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking DJF, which as a whole averaged warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
