I finished with 1.2”. And I recall last winter when you went subzero while here and ISP bottomed out at +2°, I wonder if elevation/topography plays a role. Would the terminal moraine even rise high enough for a slight cold air damming affect? Expand Not sure. Jaynes Hill is 400 feet so that and it’s inland location definitely makes it colder. I think some of the lower lying “valleys” hang on to the cold longer than the wide open flat areas further south. Nw Suffolk is also the hilliest part of the island, so maybe it could be slight damming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Light freezing rain here. Colder surfaces have a glaze and the snow has an icy crust on top. Car doors are glazed shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen actual freezing rain enough to leave a decent glaze in quite a while. In LB, freezing rain is quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your elevation is likely around 300 feet, definitely helpful in marginal storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVSnowLover Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 This might be one of NYC's biggest icing events in a long time, everyone from Manhattan/Northern Queens north seems to still be below freezing and temps are barely budging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
