There were good echos over SW Nassau for a while yesterday night. I wonder if Long Beach actually did fairly well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very photogenic but looks like it's melting pretty quick, better take pics quick or it'll be gone before noon! The birds are having a field day too, I think they're playing in it and eating (drinking) it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purduewx80 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 56 minutes ago, LibertyBell said: Thanks! Do they have METARs for Central Park too or is that only for airports? In case it's just for airports, do you have one for Islip too? Their last measurement was also at 1 am. Yes, NYC's observations are also available in METAR form. The 931 groups are usually only done for the 3 major airports: JFK, EWR and LGA, and even that isn't consistent. ISP did not report a 931 group at 12Z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, take what we can get, the season is young. I think Bridgeport beat Fairfield for the first time with 2.0 on both sides of the storm. 2 overnight and .5 for the first part for 2.5 in Easton. Was your 1.5 just for last night or entire storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when they calculated the NESIS value of the Jan 2016 blizzard they ignored JFK's 31" total from that storm even though that total was confirmed on re-analysis? That storm would have pulled ahead of March 1960's NESIS value had JFK's measurement been taken into account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always ..... there was a 5 mile wide radar bubble with JFK its center for three hours yesterday where it was raining while it was snowing in every other direction, this happened from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM. At least it snowed here for a few hours longer than it did in the city to make up for it so the totals evened out (although you can't tell by that map because the last measurements were taken at 1 am while it was still snowing here until 7 am or so.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 ^^ I dunno about that 4.5 here in Mahopac. I'm on one of the higher hills in town and I think that 4" is optimistic for what I got. Maybe over along the Taconic in the high country being a few miles west of me did better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_other_guy Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Took off out of JFK earlier Ironically, JFK ended up with more snow on the ground than most of Queens. Once the sun set, the southern parts of BK and Queens must have has some stronger precip. There is a line that extends about a mile inland where open areas are white...beyond that, not very white 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From some reason the LGA area into central queens had a stronger heat island the all but maybe midtown I think that might have been an early season thing, I saw that there were areas of rain on the north shore early in the evening (like around 8 PM) while it was snowing to beat the band down here. I wrote a post about the timing of the change to snow, tell me if you think this is fairly accurate- where does the UWS fit in here?: 9 AM Staten Island. 10 AM North Shore (Huntington/Oyster Bay) 11 AM Central Park 12 PM Brooklyn 1 PM Queens 1:30-2:30 PM Western Long Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
