question for you weather geek folks. i'm looking for weather history in a monthly calender view format. i know that weather underground has it but the wx info for last month is missing. we keep this kind of info with out month's worth of flight logs.
Dec 1st, definitely a little wacky weather.
i am sitting here and watched the wind 90degrees in 15mins or so following the frontal passage.. It is amazing to watch

LGA sunset after the storm.
(Borrowed from Cancidas so I could tweet it via @NYCAviation.)
And as quickly as it blew in, it seems to have blown on out. It was nasty there for a while - sideways rain and I could hardly see out the windows it was coming down (across?) so heavily. The JFK METAR for just before 2pm local...

Here was one from FRG this afternoon:
KFRG 011953Z 16026G42KT 1 1/2SM RA OVC005 14/ A2958 RMK AO2 PK WND 16046/1916
Worst I saw was LGA had gusts to 45kts/52mph at one point.
Later I saw Queens and Nassau had Severe Thunderstorm Warnings...anyone get damage from that?
NJ Transit and Amtrak were suspended for awhile due to downed wires both in Jersey and in the Bronx.
Wires came down near Portal Bridge, which is a 2-track section just west of the Secaucus transfer station. CO's arrivals into EWR were a who's who of airports about 200 miles away; BWI, IAD, BOS, PVD, PIT, and BGR all got some love. IAD took a few JFK flights, and KL641 was briefly showing as an EWR divvo, but it looks like it wound up getting into Kennedy.
I spent Tuesday night at the Allegria Resort and Spa down on the beach... I woke up around 10AM and went to go out on the balcony looking out on the ocean and literaly got blown against the side rail on the 8th floor. The Atlantic was FEROCIOUS.... Even down on ground level when I went down and outside the wind was pretty intense....
This is an excerpt from the GA Desk for this evening...for those not in the know, a TMI is Traffic Management Initiative. GDP is a Ground Delay Program.
Honestly though, this is the first time I think I have ever heard of a ground stop due to Virga. Must be really bad virga around PHL tonight.
Quote:
Good Evening All,
Currently there are five TMIs in the NAS. There is a possibility of a ground stop at PHL for virga. Virga is an observable streak or shaft of precipitation that falls from a cloud but evaporates before reaching the ground. The rest of the NAS is not looking bad. Have a good night.
CURRENT TMIs:
CYUL GDP UNTIL 0159z FOR WIND
CYYZ GDP UNTIL 0459z FOR SNOW
EWR GDP UNTIL 0259z FOR WIND
JFK GDP UNTIL 0159z FOR VOLUME
LGA GDP UNTIL 0259z FOR WIND
For those who have an iPad, I found a great app for weather and flight planning. I'm using it almost exclusively for flight planning and for aerial photography to locate locations from the air. But its not cheap. It goes for $75 a year. The app name is Foreflight. For what i use it for, it is totally worth the price. The weather data is incredible, and it gives you raw metars and plain language, with all the graphics and weather depictions, AIRMET and SIGMET data for turbs and icing too.
...just thought I'd report in to tell all of you...it is awesome! :biggrin:
You can get most of that stuff on aviationweather.gov for free it seems. I like the "my radar" app (free). It has animated radar for the whole US, and you can zoom in and out of locations.
AND speaking of weather :biggrin: it looks like we have a Nor'easter heading our way tomorrow that could dump a significant amount of snow on us here in the NY Metro area. Other areas to the south are already being slammed making air traffic a MESS!!
MOD NOTE: The day-after-Christmas blizzard posts have been moved to a new thread: http://nycaviation.com/forum/threads...-December-2010

KMWN 040100 METAR 040049Z 14040KT 1/16SM -RA FG VV001 05/05
Looks like another snow event for portions of the Southeast and Northeast is on its way!!
"
WCNC NewsChannel 36 Stay tuned for a blog from me later this morning on the potential big winter storm for Monday and Tuesday. All the computer guidance points to a significant winter storm for the entire area. We are talking snow significant snow accumulations possible. Stay tuned and start preparing for winter weather this weekend. -Brad"
Looks like it will arrive a day later...blizzard conditions stretching from NYC to Boston possible for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Here we go again. Storm heading in but luckily (I guess) after it starts as snow (1AM here on LI) it switches to rain sometime around rush hour tomorrow morning. But the rain is supposed to be very heavy so with all the large amounts of snow still on the ground and temps around 40 we can expect flooding!!:tongue:
And they are talking about more snow on Friday as we only get a taste of 40s tomorrow and Wed. then back to frigid especially this weekend!
Got 4 inches or so here in Eastern Nassau and the roads this morning driving to LIRR were terrible. And except for the main roads the side streets around here arent very good tonite.Quote:

Yes this is the "Winter of my Discontent". Everyone you talk to say the same thing...ENOUGH ALREADY!! But sadly we might not have seen the worst of winter yet!!
Holy Krikey can Mother Nature and Old Man Winter stop messing with us!!! :tongue:
Temps close to ZERO, YES that was 0!!!!! Tonite.
Then some type of kakameyme farkatke storm Tuesday/wed bringing who knows what!!
Made reservations yesterday to see my son in Florida in March but that seems light years away!!
Yeah, so far I am not seeing anything I can consider remotely solid on this storm... basicly all any Meteorology people can give me is we will have precip, will it be an icy mix or solid snow though is the question no one can answer.
From the National Weather Service Hazardous Weather Outlook:
Quote:
BECAUSE MODELS SHOW A VARIETY OF TRACK AND INTENSITY FORECASTS...
THIS IS A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST.
DEPENDING ON ITS TRACK...PARTS OF THE LOCAL AREA COULD EXPERIENCE
HEAVY RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...HEAVY SNOW...STRONG WINDS...COASTAL
FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION.
Best job in the world... if you;re wrong, blame it on mother nature... LOL. Best weather forecast for me is to call my boss in South Jersey and when she says is bad, I know what's coming! :tongue:

SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION OF SNOWFALL.
THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON THE EXACT STORM TRACK AND
STRENGTH...AND ON HOW MUCH WARM AIR WILL WORK INTO THE SYSTEM.
STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES.
From the NWS Forecast Discussion:Quote:

(I don't know any of the details about the various models but I'm sure you could find more.) I find it useful for getting a bigger picture of the possibilities; the discussion will frequently talk about some of the variables that might affect how severe a storm is.
For the bit that I quoted, it seems like the various models are all giving different outcomes at this point; they're going to talk to some other people and run the models again later to hopefully get a better prediction.
Ah so they basically have no idea what this storm is going to do...so nothing new then lololQuote:

Hey this thread has been quiet since winter ended. :smile:
BUT......
Nasty storm coming in now and looks to get worse later for the NYC/LI area with heavy rain, winds, flooding and maybe even T-Storms.
This is a storm that has been moving through the country and is responsible for at least 17 deaths including 7 in Alabama.
The airports already have long delays especially arrivals. So if you are going out tonite be careful.
Have been listening to ATC, and lots of go arounds because of missed approaches or just too close to the other aircrafts. The winds are nuts.....15 to 30 knots! I have a feeling it's going to get worse.
I 've been out a few times in the last few hours and they are howling pretty nicely. The kind you can hear the gusts coming at you through the trees.Quote:

However, the flight I was originally on (was delayed because the pilots seat broke!) had what looks to be a much worse time. Judging by the tracker, they must have aborted a landing! But, I bet they didnt get hit by lightning. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/D.../KLGA/tracklog
Wow thats pretty crazy. We had heavy rain and wind and just some flashes of lightning and thunder. The thunder though seemed to rumble for a minute with each burst.Quote:

Thank god we didn't get the severe weather what they had in North Carolina. 105 tornado reports! Sadly 24 people have been killed.
One of the very strong tornadoes destroyed a Lowe's: http://twitpic.com/4lpcd8
Wow there are some crazy killer storms out there and they look to be heading our way tomorrow afternoon. Not sure how bad it will be when it gets here but it would pay for all to stay alert.
http://www.aolnews.com/2011/04/27/mo...1_lnk1%7C59012
Not so bad here in the Tri-state area but my god at least 284!!!!!! dead in the south including 194 in Alabama!! That is horrible!!Quote:

Kinda woke me up. Turned over and back to sleep. Loved that. If it wasnt a holiday I would have been slogging through that!!Quote:

The downpour on the front side of it was soo bad that from up top I could see the rain drops bouncing on taxiways and runways. Didn't even make a dent though in JFK which was nice. By the time the departure gates opened back up there were still only 5 waiting to take off and maybe 4 airplanes from various airlines holding near BDL and SWF up in the mid 20's. However, current forcasting is hinting at some very strong storms this afternoon with tops anticipated in the mid to high 40's possibly hail producing.
