WCBS 880 is calling this a "perfect storm," several systems converging over the area becoming a northeasterner with continuing rain, gusty winds, and shore flooding, especially at high tides. A light rain has been falling almost steadily for the last 24 hours. 51F and rain at 6:45AM. |

Current rain storm began at 5:30AM today with sky-filling flashes of lightening and loud thunder followed by heavy rain at a rate better than 1/3 an inch of rain in an hour. Heavy local flooding on lawns and roads. At reporting time, 60F and raining lightly. Yesterday's high of 62 was ten degrees above normal as the warm September-like weather continues in November. Maybe Al Gore is right. |

Snow/blizzard started yesterday afternoon and is still continuing. This is my first winter here, so had no idea of the drifting patterns. My gauge is buried in a 5' drift so I can't give you a melted snow reading. 23.20" inches is the average depth in my back yard, but that is not very accurate due to blowing and drifting. TV weather says we have up to 26 inches at this point, and during some hours last night it was falling at a rate of 3 to 5 inches an hour. 23F and snowing at 9:00AM. Because I had to enter something to submit the report, I put in 2.00 in rain guage measurement based on the averge of 1' of snow equals 1" of rain. |

It is difficult to attest to the accuracy of this report due to the high winds running 25-35 MPH with gusts to 50 MPH. Most of my lawn was blown clean over the night. However, I attempted to find a spot that was lesast affected by drifting to obtain my ground measurements. 19F with a wind chill of 3F and mostly cloudy at 8:45am. |

It is difficult to access the accuracy of this report due to the high winds, gusting between 35 and 50 MPH which occured yesterday. More than half of my back yard is mostly clear of snow. There is a three-foot high drift running the width of the yard. However, after averaging many measurements in non-drifting areas, I arrived at the statistics entered. (I was pleased to see my gauge measure was only 1 one hundredth off from the official Weather Channel report.) 22F at 6:45AM with wind gusts to 20MPH making it feel like 9F. |

Forecasters are unclear about how much snow we will receive from the next "mega" storm headed east and due to arrive Friday night. Predictions range from 2 to 20 inches. Some states to our south have already declared state-wide emergencies before one flake has fallen. Some airlines allowing passengers to change flight dates without fees. Could be a bell-ringer. |

Unless the weatherman is calling "wolf" again, we seem to be in the track of a major storm. Forecasts now range from 8 to 12 inches and more.

So far, the weatherman has been dead on with his forecast for today. (Okay, bad choice of word.) Snow began shortly after midnight. At 6:45AM we had 1.5 inches. Didn't have time to melt snow in my gauge until 8:45AM. By then, we had 4 inches of snow, or 1.25 inches per hour in big, heavy flakes. Temperature at 8:45 is 33F with a w/c of 23. Wind out of the NNE at 13 MPH. Blizzard warning set from 11AM until 6AM tomorrow with heavy snow and winds gusting to 40MPH. Weather calling for a minimum of 16 inches of snow. |

Although measurements taken at 6:45AM, couldn't report until now because I had to wait for snow in gauge and two cores to melt. Our twenty-four hour storm yesterday - midnight to midnight - included 9.2 inches of snow interspersed with rain and sleet. Therefore, core has more water than if it were just snow. 30F at 6:45AM with winds out of the NNW gusting to 29 MPH, making it feel like 16F. |

20F with a wind chill of 13F. Clear sky. Yesterday's sun reduced our snow depth 1.2 inches. After several attempts, I gave up trying to get a core measurement. Because of the rain and sleet that intermixed with the snow, what we have on the ground is very near hard ice. Couldn't get my core measuring device all the way through the snow. Try again tomorrow. |

Steady rain and temperatures in the low 40's for the past 24 hours have removed all but a few, thin patches of snow. But what's to come? Forecasters in the area are using phrases such as "perfect storm," "huge," "big," and "powerful" to describe the storm headed our way and due tomorrow through Friday daytime. One long-time and respected forecaster says he has never seen a storm like the one that is now developing over the ocean and expected to head inland across the Jersey and Long Island coast, then wrap around itself once or twice. Predicted snow fall amounts range from 3 inches to two feet. Wait and see. 42F and raining and 6:45AM. |

As much fun as I have made of forecasters' inaccurate predictions in the past, today I must admit they are dead on, which is especially difficult with this very rare winter storm. The low pressure "monster" storm moved in from the Atlantic Wednesday and settled over New York City and began spinning counter-clockwise like a pinwheel. It is now on its second revolution with a third expected, maybe even a fourth with up to 8 more inches of snow expected. Yesterday began with moderate to heavy rain, turning to snow after midnight. If you subtract the core of the snow from the gauge, it gives me 4.77 inches of rain over the last three days, which led to heavy road flooding. The only person who got this storm wrong: Mayor Bloomberg, who late yesterday said schools would be open today and this morning had to reverse himself. An interesting time to be a Cocorahs reporter. |

Some came down so slowly you could almost count them before they landed, othertimes it was like a Yankee ticker-tape parade. Received 1.4 inches of snow, making our two-day storm total 8.9 inches.

What a beautiful Easter Sunday. A record-breaking sunny 75F, topping 1950's 67F for the date. Sunny weather expected to continue through Thursday, but probably no record breaking temperatures. In 1991, from April 6th thru the 9th, the highs for each date were set at 74, 83, 87, and 80F. We could come close, but probably no cigar. 41F and partly cloudy at 6:30AM. |

Fortunately, yesterday's 8-hour tornado watch, beginning at noon, did not come to fruition. However, neither did the rain forecast. On Saturday, it was forecast we had a 50% chance of rain Sunday from 3AM to 7AM Monday. Sunday morning, it because an 80% chance of rain from 2PM until Midnight. Then, later on Sunday it switched to a 90% chance of rain from 2PM yo 5PM. We got zip. Weather forecasting is not an exact science. Very dry conditions.

Yesterday's high was a very uncomfortable 94F, but 4 degrees below the record set in 1953. What a heat wave we had back then: 8/29 - 97F; 8/30 - 97F; 8/31 - 98F; 9/1 - 97F; 9/2 - 98F; 9/3 - 93F. All records that stand to this date. Ahh, the pre-airconditioning days of 57 years ago. Still have an eye out for Earl, which now appears that it will only affect eastern Long Island with rain, wind, and eroding surf. |

71F and hazy at 6:45AM. A fellow Cocorahs reporter informed me that I had misnamed the full moon on September 23 when I called it the Corn Moon. On further research I learned that in September, when the full moon occurs near the Autumnal Equinox, it is called the Harvest Moon. This happens two out of every three years, such as it did this year. However, when the September full moon occurs away from the first day of Fall, it is called the Corn Moon. On years that there is a Corn Moon, the October full moon is called the Harvest Moon. On years that the Harvest Moon falls in September, the October Full Moon is called the Hunter's Moon. It was a good week. I learned something.
