Looks like the coldest departures next week will drop to our West like we have been seeing in recent years. Then a quick moderation in temperatures. Very difficult to get any sustained cold here.

Well at least you get to see snow now that you moved. What’s terrible stretch for the island. Hopefully our one shot at redemption next week.

There will be plenty of cold coming up with this pattern and snow chances. 

A relaxation period will occur but should be short lived before we possibly get a sustained winter pattern in February.

I only picked up 2” mostly on the grass here before the rain and warmth melted it. I am concerned about the beach erosion on Long Island continuing into the fall. It looks like a very active hurricane season coming up with the record Atlantic SSTs and La Niña.

The beaches can’t even take the next storm. Im

currently watching the pacific blvd cam and and the waters to the boardwalk. All that sand added after sandy is gone.

Parts of Fire Island lost all the sand replenished by the army corps after Sandy. I don’t know how coastal sections will manage in the coming decades with continued extreme weather and rising sea levels. We can adapt to this warming climate with more extreme storms. But sea level rise is going to be our greatest challenge next 100 years and beyond.

We are both lynbrook guys now, and we for sure had at least a half an inch during the last storm. Im right at the northern tip of lynbrook. But the yard was def snow covered for a bit. So we aren’t striking out so to speak. 

We're hoping to exceed last year-- not a very high goal I know, but small steps lol.

It's going to cause a lot more mass migrations....

We've probably permanently exceeded +1.5C, so that first limit has already been breached, +2.0C is next.

We already had an active tropical season with 20 storms lol (but only 1 landfall), how much more active can it get, do you think we could get 30 storms again?

And do you think we could have a very hot summer too with 30+ 90 degree highs and maybe even a 100+ degree high or more (because of the el nino to la nina transition?)

I am very concerned about the coming hurricane season. Early thoughts are that it will be the most devastating season yet.

I lived on the beach in Wading River my whole life. It happens. It sucks. They will replenish in spring. The noreaster winters are the worst for beach erosion.

you’re a good poster, but you have a very strong glass half empty view of winter around here. it undermines your skill.

Next week is going to be cold for the type of winter (shit) we’ve had so far. Two legitimate snow chances.

And if past el Ninos are any indication, that may be it. Loaded February isnt a guarantee. So, glass half full and enjoy it. :)

a 2015-2016 type winter but about 2 degrees colder (because of a slightly less intense el nino) would be really nice, especially considering how many close calls there were that February (I remember the storm where the crane fell in NYC and also the Superbowl snowstorm.)

While it’s going to feel cold here next week compared to how warm it has been, it doesn’t  look like it will match the Arctic outbreak for us last February when NYC got down to 3°.

While you are right on the money about nor’easters, those are worse for the north shore and Jersey. These have been cutters with SE winds and have had extremely large fetch’s. That’s why south facing beaches are getting rocked. It’s really a serious situation. Our life guard shack at Jones beach which was obviously rebuilt after sandy, hasn’t flooded since. Well it had feet of water the last storm. Meaning all the equipment we store over winter is screwed.

agreed. This isnt our arctic outbreak. But it will be winter cold, and we will be in the game for a couple of of storms.

Fire Island will have more inlets cut in the coming decades and it will be up to the army corps whether they want to leave or plug. But this will present challenges for back bay flooding since the tidal range in the GSB could increase with more inlets.
