Provably shafted them more, we wouldn’t have done too well regardless but they would have got hammered if not for the low that went into CT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your area seems to for whatever reason always be the jackpot in the NYC metro area in marginal events. I’m not surprised Boston got almost nothing because of that second low in CT.

Cfa Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We (largely) had hours upon hours of heavy snow and decent winds, almost blizzard-like at times but with no/little accumulation. Not sure how this can be considered a bust. I enjoyed it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I wrote to them: Stony Brook is not at 1500-2000 feet! No place on Long Island is even at 500 feet! And where did those 5-8 and 8-12 inch accumulations on Long Island come from- I dont see anything over 2.1 inches on the NWS report! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That standard is only used at airports/FAA. Airports have different requirements unrelated to climatology. For all others board is wiped once in a 24 hour period and snowfall is reported as maximum depth on the board during that time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does it take to get from Eastern Orange to the city by the way? When I worked out in Babylon/West Islip, it took me an hour to get into the city.

I see that as I head west basically once 20 minutes beyond the Lincoln Tunnel you see snow on the side of the roads lol I think NYC and Long Island are mostly in the same climate zone and NW NJ is two climate zones colder than we are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roads on Long Island are horrendous. In a way it makes sense though, as the climate does rapidly change as soon as you head inland. It's definitely a completely different climate zone even a little west of the Lincoln Tunnel. I think that's probably what he's subconsciously thinking, as the distance thing doesn't really work because Suffolk County is pretty far away from the city.

Absolutely but it doesn’t make it anymore metro than Rockland and orange county. Monroe/Woodbury/Harriman area is prob 35-40 miles NW of NYC as the crows fly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't know where I was, I would have thought I was somewhere upstate with all the deer around lol. It's also good to remember that the parts of Suffolk County that get the most snowfall also have a latitude advantage over NYC, so they really are like the northern suburbs in that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People east of me did better where the band hung out longer. It just dumped for a while so it started accumulating. If the band sat over Nassau County it would’ve accumulated there too. Probably not over Midtown since my street never accumulated. If it was at night I would’ve had 3” easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m east of you and the snow didn’t really accumulate under that band. OKX reported only 0.6” at 8 PM after hours of heavy snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like it to be 30 inches lol, that's a nice round number. That 30 year average is so unbearably close to 30 inches lol, so let's just keep it at 30 inches. Boston's average also went up with the new 30 year averages, but I don't think it got over 45....not sure what it is now but the old 30 year averages were around 42.

Anyway I don’t really get why people NW get so bothered by not being referred to as immediate NYC Metro? Your climo is so drastically different and in a good way for snow lovers.

I only saw 2” up here in Sloatsburg, grass and car tops only, NWS Upton was calling for 4-6 at one point Yeah just the day before the storm they had Boston at 8-12 and they didn’t even get an inch. Just a few degrees too warm, the dual low scenario screwed us in eastern mass. If it stayed one low we would have gotten a lot more than we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
