We'll get to 4" and there's an outside shot of 6" I wouldn't call it "bad luck" I just think it's the natural evolution of the storm. I don't believe in "luck" as you probably know. Yeah I get it. Just gets me mad that a record keeps going when a small subsidence zone caused it. It would be another thing if it turned to rain or was 35 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshack Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Up to 6” on the deck in wading river - after a slow start the Suffolk band has delivered. Still looks like potential for another 1 or 2”. Satisfying event in any year. Outstanding in this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastonSN+ Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 minute ago, LibertyBell said: But that's basically the entire city. Even Central Park, although it's grass, it's surrounded by UHI, so you'll usually get higher numbers in surrounding areas outside of the city (except here to the south near the ocean lol.) No I get that but in this case there is no denying CPK would have had more snow if the bands were east or west. That's all I am saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, bluewave said: It only got down to 33° after it had been snowing for several hours. So not having cold air in place ahead of a storm is going to reduce accumulations to some extent especially in such an urbanized setting like NYC. Where the banding sets up is always an issue but it helps to maximize accumulations if we are colder when the storm starts. Right, in this sense statistics don't lie we've never had a storm that dumped more than 5.5" of snow with temperatures of 33 and above. I think NYC will end up with 4-5 inches from this storm and probably down here near JFK too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestHillWx Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Getting that last band good right now; have to be close to the one foot threshold. Once my conference call ends I will get out and measure to confirm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJW014 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Been under a nice band for about a half hour now. Visibility under a 1/4 mile. Nothing is sticking. In fact the trace on cold surfaces is melting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, EastonSN+ said: Right I get that if it were 19 degrees like the blizzard of 96 it would have accumulated quicker. However, what I am saying here is if everyone else gets say 6 inches, yet CPK gets 2.9, an under 3 inch record is misleading. The fact that CPK only got 2.9 has nothing to do with temps when all other areas with same or higher temps received more. The under 3 inch record would be very misleading. By the time the storm is over Central Park will probably be in the 4-5 inch range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Lack of consistent heavy rates plus the bad boundary layer (and warm pre-storm conditions) killed the storm in Manhattan. Very reminiscent of 3/7/18 where it snowed all day but the deform band ended up over NNJ instead of the City where it was modeled to be and the torched boundary layer never never got the full dynamic cooling effect so we had 33-34 degree white rain. Wound up with a coating of slush in Midtown and little more in Chelsea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northof78 Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 Around 7" OTG here, probably end with 8", some blowing snow off roofs, moderate rate, excellent storm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzLuv Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Cleared the driveway about 45 mins ago. Hair over 4" of heavy wet snow. Clogged the blower chute a few times. It is still snowing at moderate clip and added another 3/4 inch or so. Not disappointed given they were calling for just an inch a day or two ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wound up with a coating of slush in Midtown and little more in Chelsea. This will def be better than that one in Manhattan. Everything including roads were covered at around 930 with the good rates and we are already at 3-4 inches. Rates diminished after that and with the recent salt spreading, streets are mostly clear again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1 hour ago, bluewave said: Temperatures and rates are both important. It’s rare for NYC to get both the best rates of surrounding areas and enough cold. I believe February 2006 was one of the few times that Central Park got the best banding and was cold enough to have the heaviest accumulations from Newark east to MTP. That was a mediocre storm for us just east of the city. The park got 26" and we got 13" we were in subsidence hell. I don't consider that an HECS because the 20"+ accumulation area was so darn small. The park total for that storm was higher than my total for the entire season. We also had that storm in December that gave the park 6" and we got nothing but rain-- thats the first time thats ever happened. My most exciting storm that year was the 2" we got in April when the park got 0.1" to hit 40" for the 4th straight year. January 2016 was so much better than that storm and a true HECS (and the third best KU event behind March 1993 and January 1996 overall.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 4-8" in and around the metro. Pretty spot on forecast overall outside of the northern areas which greatly overperformed. I think some saw the 6z euro with the 12"+ numbers and set unreasonable expectations. Very nice storm, the best in 2 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't here for that storm but I've heard a lot of people who were saying that they couldn't believe that CPK amount because they got so much less. I don't actually have any memory of it despite Allentown apparently getting 10-12", but I agree it's nowhere near the level of the all-timers despite its gaudy position on the snowfall list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 54 minutes ago, Krs4Lfe said: Storm is moving along rather quickly. Should be over by 1 here in NYC. Let’s hope that banding to the west pushes central park over the edge. I swear if the boroughs do great but Centeal park ends up with like 4” that’s just lmao and so typical of central park I'm not sure any of the boroughs will get over 6" but I guess it's possible. 4-6 is good for this storm here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
