tmagan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Weatherbug keeps dropping my temps here in Dix Hills.. 2 reporting stations are at 19 and 18... So temps clearly are dropping.. However we are missing the SNOW BOMB going on in Queens and west... We probably have about 10" but that pales in comparison to the 20"+ reports going on 40 miles to our west.. Nonetheless- insane storm... I think i'll end up w/ 18" or so.. won't be complaining! What is peculiar is that Islip is warmer than Shirley and Farmingdale, even though all observations were taken within a 20 minute period and the winds are basically the same direction.

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 as of 9:25pm, 13.5 inches here in Marlboro, NJ western monmouth county. Wind blowing everything around though so could very easily be more out there. Snow still coming down hard. Oh and we finally had a plow come down our street.

SnowGoose69 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 another .18 at NYC last hour despite being in between the bands Yet they only had 4.5 as of 7pm...they had 3.5 at 4pm...something seems off.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Coastal front FTW. But Shirley to the east is colder and the winds at all stations are from the same direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEaster27 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Wind is so strong, this is the worst storm since '96 in my mind. INSANE outside, im super excited its hard to describe. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmagan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yet they only had 4.5 as of 7pm...they had 3.5 at 4pm...something seems off.... In fairness, with these winds, we will never have an accurate snowfall measurement anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Marusak Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 FARMINGDALE SNOW.....24 24 100 N26G41 29.13F VSB 1/2 WCI 8 ISLIP HVY SNOW 28 23 81 N40G56 29.06F VSB 1/4 WCI 10 SHIRLEY FOG 25 23 92 N32G44 29.08F VSB 1/4 WCI 8 WESTHAMPTON FOG 28 24 85 N33G51 29.07F VSB 1/2 WCI 11 MONTAUK POINT N/A 30 29 96 N25G39 29.05 WCI 16 Pressure readings approaching 29.00 at the above locations. SLP must be bombing out now and not too far to the south of these points. Also note 56mph gust at ISP and 51 at FOK. i've been keeping an eye on the buoy east of atlantic city and south of eastern LI. that's been showing some powerful readings all day (973.9hPa/28.76 in Hg at 02Z). and that's with a northerly wind at ~ 40 kt. has that buoy been working good all day? if so we've got to be seeing mid 960's somewhere near the center.

peregrinator Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 21 in. in central queens now... can't see the barn/shed 10 feet across the road snow hasn't let up in past 6 hours...drift i measured was above my 36in. yardstick. can you believe this? I rarely (never) post, but are you sure you aren't measuring in a drift? Here in Sunnyside (northwestern Queens) my measurements range from 10.5 to 12 inches with drifts of up to 2 feet.

dbc Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Yet they only had 4.5 as of 7pm...they had 3.5 at 4pm...something seems off.... This just cannot be accurate.

YoRyz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So I noticed. That's damn frustrating to see it SO close. Mind going outside and giving a good swift kick toward the west for me? I'm looking through the radar grabs over the past several hours...every last one of them seems to cut off the heaviest banding right near Rt 1 in Trenton. I would be crying if I were you.

Its funny though how all the official observing sites are lower than the unofficial ones...perhaps everyone else's measurements are being skewed by the wind? EWR is at 14 inches as of 10pm though.

FreeRain Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Finally went out and measured. I was surprised, given how windy it is, to measure a narrow range of 10" to 11". Lee Goldberg just reported 60 mph winds at Islip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWR is at 14 inches as of 10pm though. Gee, I wonder why that is. I think people, even if they aren't measuring in drifts, are measuring where snow has blown off of their roofs.

gkrangers Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Gee, I wonder why that is.

gpickett Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The NJ megaband is finally starting to contract. Its LI's turn. 5:30 PM walking 3 blocks from the LIRR in Syosset--carrying petrified 3 year old. Pelting sandblaster in the face. Wife trailing behind, trying to keep up. Face completely rimed up.

At the same time how LGA only has 8 inches though is baffling....ISLIP has 10 and seemingly has been under much ligther snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Uber banding probably starting to wain a bit over NJ. Still plenty of snow to come though. Per Steve D from nynjpaweather, if you are in one of those moderate/heavy snow bands now, it will continue through 9am!!!! He also said the upper low is now capturing the surface low and that this may ultimately stall the storm after all!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
