Winter Weather in Northeast Suffolk, New York

A wet snow accumulated across Northeastern Suffolk County which initially began as a wintry mix. Snow amounts averaged below warning criteria across the zone with a few reports right along the north shore at warning criteria. Some snowfall reports were as follows; 4.0 inches in Calverton and Riverhead, 3.6 inches at 1 W Jamesport via the public, 3.7 inches at 3 WNW Aquebogue, 5.5 inches in Upton via the NWS, and 6.5 inches at 2 NNW Ridge via a trained spotter.

Low pressure across the Tennessee Valley and the Gulf states tracked tracked north, and redeveloped and intensified rapidly off the Mid Atlantic coast. A heavy wet snowfall occurred across much of Southeastern New York, with lesser amounts across portions of the coast, especially along and closer to the south shore and eastern third of Long Island. Marginal surface temperatures precluded higher snow amounts in urban locations and further south and east. A combination of over 250 crashes and accidents were reported across Long Island during the storm from state and county law enforcement officials.
