Chris how is it that Howard Beach has close to a foot of rainfall but JFK didn't even hit 10" JFK undermeasures rainfall too?

The Howard beach site is quite a distance from the JFK ASOS. The ASOS in JFK is in the eastern portion of the airport next to the 5 towns area of Nassau. This is why JFK radiates better than other portions of NYC. So the JFK ASOS is more than 5 miles away from Howard Beach site since the airport is so big. This is also why the snowfall totals between the sites can be so great.

Yes, it can go both ways with snowfall (either more or less.)  I remember in December 2009 we had a snowstorm where Central Park got 10" of snow and JFK received 15"!

April 1996 was another one, Central Park and LGA both got less than an inch and JFK had 4.5" if I remember correctly.

The actual JFK ASOS is very close to Woodmere.

So it's almost in Nassau County!

Yeah, pretty much. You can see why they radiate better than other spots in NYC. Also why the sea breeze is such a big influence there during the summer. They would probably have more 90° days if the ASOS was on a further NW section of the airport near South Ozone Park or Howard Beach. It’s one of our biggest airports at nearly 5000 acres.

Is that siting proper too? Does it say anywhere in the regulations that the equipment should be further away from the ocean or at least establish some kind of barrier to shelter it from the ocean?

Sea breezes are a local effect, so I look at that the same way I look at trees at Central Park blocking the sensor.

No since the major airports are right on the water.
