So that gust was higher than the surrounding stations. https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/noaareports/at195409.pdf Peak surface gusts around NYC: EWR...76 TEB.....71 LGA.... 66 JFK......65 The strongest winds occurred i n New York City between 7:30 and 8:OO p.m. when the center of the storm was in the process of moving toward Lake Ontario. Numerous gusts of over 70 miles per hour were ob- served at the Weather Bureau Office at the Battery with the highest velocity of 113 miles per hour, for the fastest mile, occurring at 7:49 p.m. This velocity ishigher than that reported by most other reporting stations around this area but consistent with the pattern especially since the anemometer is a t an elevation of 450 feet above sea level with wide open exposure t o southeast winds. This is the highest wind velocity recorded since weather observations were started by the Weather Bureau in New York City in 1871. The previous high record for the fastest mile Was 99 miles per hour occurring with the passage of the 1944 hurricane on September 14th. The speeding up of the forward motion of this storm prevented the tides from developing to anything exceptional Since the strong winds occurred about two hours before high-tide time. Tides were above normal, however, in most all localities around the Metropolitan area during the morning and vening high tide periods. With a storm of this type, it was natural that the amount Of damage was related to the distance from the center of the storm and i n the Metropolitan area, the greatest amount Of damage was reported from northern New Jersey, a considerable amount in New York City proper and then tapering off to very little in Suffolk County on Long Island. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIK62 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Good News on this travelling 30-Day Outlook I have been keeping track off since Sunday>>>>>>>>>>>> CFS breakdown for the next 30 days is now 20AN 10BN. If Dec. finishes AN, the last 63 months would have a similar 2:1 ratio, 42AN 21BN. 12/17 Update: About the same at 22AN 8BN, but we would have lost another winter day or two, if this is right. Accuweather has pushed the sustained cold into Week 3 iof Jan. 12/18 Update: 20AN 10BN 12/19 Update (liberal interpretation on behalf of BN): 17AN 13BN 12/20 Update: 16BN 14AN !!!!!!!!!! A nice switchero. 12/21 Update: 22AN 8BN This is hopeless. The cold will always be a month away. Accuweather sounds like it is giving up on Jan.,, and talks about a second SSW that might do something before the sun gets too high. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically cutting out 1/3 of winter. So we have January and February left and they'd better be great lol. We've had some snowy Marches lately, but I dont think NYC has seen a 12+ March snowstorm since the 60s. I know we haven't here in western Nassau County. December however has seen two 12+ snowstorms, including the 20" Boxing Day Blizzard. It's prime snowstorm month, much moreso than March is, so wiping out December hurts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least out here in eastern Suffolk the long term Dec and Mar averages are almost identical. And March has been far snowier than December thee last five years. So if you're just into driving up the seasonal total, and some on here are, I don't yet think this crappy December matters. I'm a snowcover fan, so I'd rather have a 40" year with high number of snowcover days than have the entire winter concentrated into one 4-6 week epic blitz. Either way, anything would be better than what we got today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the city and western Nassau we have much more of an issue with urban heat island, it makes it harder to accumulate as much snow in March with the higher sun angle. The last few Marches have been better, however we still haven't had anything in western LI or NYC to match the Boxing Day Blizzard or the early December 2003 blizzard for that matter. In central and eastern LI the Equinox Snowstorm last year matched it though. Once you get to the area around Farmingdale out to around Wading River or so, you guys do much better with late season events. Even the south shore of Suffolk County out to about Westhampton or so does better than we do with late season events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March was mostly a bust for us except for the very last storm, where we got somewhere in the realm of 8-10 after it snowed a total of 3-4 all day. March has never really delivered the goods in my neck of the woods. People really got emotional with me arguing this point last year but in the end I was right, backed up by Mitchel Volk himself.

The NYC temperature extremes from 1979 to 1983 were very impressive. Warmest Highs 1 2015 66°F 2 1889 & 1982 64°F 3 1940 & 2014 62°F 4 1979 61°F 5 1964 60°F Coldest Lows 1 1980 -1°F 2 1872 & 1983 4°F 3 1914 11°F 4 1958 12°F 5 1948 & 1968 13°F All that cold ended with the historic Jan 1985 Arctic outbreak, we didn't see that kind of cold again until Jan 1994 and the Jan 1985 outbreak was actually the more severe one.

Cfa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Interesting, most of my high temperatures so far this year have been in the 80’s, while most lows have been in the 30’s. Highs: Lows: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIK62 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 FWIW, since I have been following this for a week anyway, the next 30 day breakdown from the fickle CFS is now 21BN 9AN. This is the best 30 day outlook yet, but of course we have lost a week of potential cold since I started this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we have January and February left and they'd better be great lol. We've had some snowy Marches lately, but I dont think NYC has seen a 12+ March snowstorm since the 60s. I know we haven't here in western Nassau County. December however has seen two 12+ snowstorms, including the 20" Boxing Day Blizzard. It's prime snowstorm month, much moreso than March is, so wiping out December hurts. I had 14” in wantagh with the 3rd March storm, and I’m south central Nassau. So you were with very close or made it. This weather is killing me. The November storm happened during my regular shift so no snowvertime. My management uses it as carpet that they dangle in front of me. “You guys do so well with snow”. Obviously it’s not something to be relied upon at 40 north. Eventually the dreaded snowless winter will come. I just hope it’s in the 60s when I’m retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
