crossbowftw3 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 temperature has now completely crashed to 36 in Sullivan with a snow shower having just began. Last flakes for 6 months. edit: from a high of 58 around noon that is a crash of 22 degrees in three hours. Impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in terms of duration (how long it lasts and how much can accumulate at one time?) Can’t speak for the record but there’s been hail large enough to damage cars within the last few years or so as a result of the sea breeze front driven storms in the summer, I think they were in the Mineola/Garden City area. Thunder here right now but I might get split by the storms coming through now. Looks like some small hail maybe in south central Nassau and northern Nassau near Glen Cove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember the event you mentioned, and there was one on the north sure of Queens too....something like hours of hail with snow plows out lol.

There was softball 4” size hail in new Hyde park Long Island with an isolated pop up sea breeze front storm about ten summers ago. Lots of legit damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp146 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pea sized hail in Seaford earlier. We don’t get much hail here. That was pretty intense for a couple minutes. Funny thing is the last time I saw any Hail was in April as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, if there’s a zone around here where sometimes there’s larger hail it’s along Jericho or Hempstead Tpke where the seabreeze front can fire up some storms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
