I wouldn't even call it 0.1-- it's going down as a Trace. It did cover the colder surfaces but I wouldn’t call it more than a few tenths. The snow was freshened up, that’s about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexcountyobs Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 And that quick, snow has stopped. Event total 1.7" Season total 16.2" That's pretty paltry for end of January. We have a long way to go to reach seasonal average here. What are the chances we get another 35 -40" ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it happen before too, we had a storm in December 1995 when LGA had 14" and NYC had 8" and JFK had 7" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we got married, we lived in West Babylon for a few years south of Sunrise near Arnold Ave. It can be a tough place for snow. A couple of years really stood out including 1994, which was a good winter overall, but WB had about half the snowfall of the north shore that winter. The worst was one day in January when I drove home in a snowstorm only to learn that it had only rained in WB. I saw it first hand because I was making that commute every day. The tables were turned a little during Hurricane Bob. It was just an average rainy day at work with no more than an occasional breeze. When I got home that night after the storm had passed, there were trees down around Babylon. That might have been more of an east-west thing than north-south.

NorthShoreWx Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I melted the snow that got caught in my 4" COCORAHS gage and it was only 0.03" liquid. That seemed ridiculous for 1.7" of snowfall (57:1) so I took a core off the snowboard and melted it. That was a much more reasonable .10" (17:1). Moral of the story: 4" rain gages are not good snow catchers. Second lesson: The balance of model QPFs, although trending down, were still on the high side right up until today's 12z runs. That is for my location. YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 12-13” in Long Beach in that storm. Bellmore/Wantagh on East is where that sound enhanced area set up at the end of the storm and dumped another 6” probably. It was very noticeable on the Wantagh Parkway coming out of Jones Beach. East from there it increased and there must’ve been 20”+ in Deer Park. Driving up 231 back to my place it dropped off again around Dix Hills and at my house there was probably 15”. That band that sat over SW Suffolk must’ve really dumped. In Long Beach that few hour period was light to moderate and lots of blowing snow, and radar showed it heavy in those places. Long Beach benefits in only maybe 1 of 50 setups. Gets screwed over in any winter setup otherwise. Where I live now also very rarely is the jackpot but cumulatively does well over an entire winter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_other_guy Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I don’t know I guess there’s a lot less snow on the ground on Long Island and in the city or something. Because all these posts keep talking about snow down in Philadelphia and in Washington. And I’ve had snow on the ground since the last storm and I got more snow today and it’s a winter Wonderland and I don’t understand the fascination talking about Southern Jersey. These posts make it seem like we have no snow on the ground and haven’t had snow on the ground all week. It is very odd though. I can’t wait for next week when it’s gonna be 50 and there won’t be snow on the ground. I want to see the same people posting about how awful it is.

It’ll suck but I’ll be good if it’s 50 and no snow on the ground. It was the story all last “winter” and most of 21-22 other than January. Rather that than frigid and no snow, at least when it’s 50 you can do things outdoors. Just hopefully in this next Pacific projectile vomit period it’s not full of rainy cutters that destroy whats left of the beaches and flood the rivers. And we can get one last chance at something decent in Feb before totally calling this winter another fail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the big ice storm we had back here in SW Nassau was more rain further east? I always noticed that the freezing line didn't get west of Freeport in big winters like that. Millenium storm in Dec 2000 was also better for us as well as VD 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't count how many times I'd leave the office under a beautiful blue sky and high 60s, head down the Wantagh, seeing what looked like smoke in the distance, and be in damp and misty mid 50s by the time I was home. Thinking back, afternoon baseball practice was always tough as a kid here. The evenings from mid June to early August can be awesome though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
