This is awesome stuff. 

 

 

The man the myth the legend @Chris L everyone

After the snow stopped on March 4th 1960 it started up again late in the day very lightly and snowed like that into Saturday March 5th...that gave us another half inch on top of the 14" that was on the ground...snow melts fast in the March Sun even with below freezing temperatures...it lasted on the ground for at least a week...

another storm was in the forecast about a week later but slid off to our south...I heard on the News that Staten Island got some snow...

Going back to the March 1960 storm more times than not there is another storm on the horizon...how many times did that work out?not many...

The moment all three streams phased before Boxing day

 

 

No one talks about January 2005

 

why is that?

 

 

Remember this one fondly

 

Started with the hype all weekend long about the storm in Texas and how much precip was down there and it was aimed for the northeast. 10 to 15 was the call. A pretty big lead time on this storm. Everyone was all in. 

 

So the storm day came and that morning it started to rip for an hour or so.   And then nothing. All day In 11th grade watching outside and nothing. Kept looking and looking and looking. Nothing. Got out of school and expected parents to tell me it was canceled but they said no forecast was same.

 

That night the real part of the storm came in and bam 15 inches later it was a big league storm and snow day.

 

Little did I know that the early stuff was jusf a teaser WAA precip and just the preamble

 

Much like the morning of 1 27 11

That was a fun storm.  My father and I went to a car expo.  We planned on leaving as soon as it started snowing.  We did not know there were no windows in the building.  So we went to take a leak and the guy next to us was covered in snow, that was time to go!

I remember I was in charge of opening the store I worked at that morning and I forgot to bring gloves with me. It was 4 degrees that morning so needless to say my hands were a mess after trying open all those locks and gates with my bare hands haha

 

We called it a day around noon, locked up and left. 

First of a series of storms from 2009 to 2011 to really crush Long Island. Honestly their luck hasn't changed much since. Always a deform band over them.

Hurricane Irene now nearing 11 years ago, feels like yesterday. Not the most destructive storm for SE PA with wind, but certainly one of the worst in recent history in terms of rainfall and flooding. Lost power and school was closed for days

 

6 inches of rain here in Sheepshead Bay but barely any wind.

Great storm

 

30 inches here

1993 Storm

Aftermath of Sandy in Sheepshead Bay. I walked around the area around 7am the next morning.

 

I made a couple of radar loops from the back to back systems in Feb 1994. 

 

Sadly I couldn't find the data from KDIX, so I used KOKX. Also, the file upload always fails above a certain size, around 20mb and up. Feb 8th/9th was 30mb so it failed. Feb 11th was about 17mb so it uploaded. 

 

 

Here's Feb 11th:

 

KDIX loops screw over a lot of people 

 

the upton loop is always preferred

This was one of my favorite sequences.
