bluewave Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 This is currently my heaviest snow rate of the whole season in SW Suffolk. Started with giant 1.5 “ diameter snowflakes. Now I have visibility under .2 mile in very heavy snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthShoreWx Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 8 minutes ago, EpicHECS said: In this obvious stage of climate change, they need to up the criteria for a lot of us. No way should anything less than 8" total ever warrant a Winter Storm Watch or Warning anymore. 3-6" is clearly just a Winter Weather Advisory and anything less just needs an HWO or SWS. Like *everyone* up here and beyond in NYS has SUV's for this. If you can't drive through a 3-6" event with a 4WD SUV, you shouldn't be on the roads, period. And it's flat out ceased here for now. If not for good. 3-6" in 12 hours is advisory criteria for OKX. If its going to be 6" they have a little wiggle room, but basically 3-6 already is considered advisory snowfall. For straight snowfall, need a minimum of 3" for advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Seems like you Long Island folks are really winning out. Nothing heavy in Whitestone, pretty steady moderate snow since the onset with an occasional heavy burst and some sleet taking over when the rates lightened.
