My nearby airport, Farmingdale, had 56mph. Airports usually report high readings as they are in open spaces. Sometimes folks post that the wind is this or that where they are but they really don't know unless they have their own weather station. I am listening to the wind outside my house right now and at times it sounds real strong but it is only gusting now to about 30mph as being recorded by the anemometer above my roof.

Winds in Melville were impressive for a time especially when the line of heavy showers came through, but otherwise it was fairly pedestrian to me although maybe I missed worse periods. Driving back home I noticed some branches down and trash cans blown around but not much other damage. Luckily it doesn't seem that outages are too bad on LI, according to PSEG there's 1062 customers out? It was impressive as a wind event but nothing memorable like March 2010. The worst of the winds look like they were near the twin forks and then over Cape Cod where there were 70-80mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericjcrash Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Still some light snow here in Between Roscoe and Delhi ~2000'. Looks to be about 3" of snow today. Blowing snow is refreshing. 6" on the ground. Glacier beneath the new stuff, deep winter feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cfa Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 My semi-sheltered PWS recorded a 30mph gust, only the 2nd time that has happened. Actual gusts were higher of course. Pressure bottomed out at 975.2mb, lowest I’ve ever recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Added a NWS summary graphic from a couple of hours ago. The wind damage reports generally grey, the severe thunderstorm reported qualifying winds and damage in blue, and the heavy snowfall qualifying for the LSR in purple. Certainly a foot in the Adirondacks and they finally have a decent base for snow mobiling. Wind was about 5 knots less than I expected for all of our forum area. Thank you for your observations in this thread.701A/8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
