For Central Park it was good. From what I've seen through many years, they were a B+ for staying on top of things today. I've seen to many failing grades in the past.

The 19.7 was recorded at 1PM. As you say there was .15 liquid, which fell as snow, after that. They started well, they ran the race well they just couldn't finish the race. It's an old story that usually doesn't end well. Hopefully it's adjusted tonight but the 4:00 PM daily update still had the 19.7 so I doubt it.

This will not have the resiliency of the Jan 25-26 snow. No sleet embedded like many had from January, and temps will be warmer, and definitely a stronger sun now than a month ago.

Final here 15.3 inches. I certainly can't complain with more than half of Orange county under 6. Sharp dividing line that no models had until a couple of hours before go time, and then only a few.

It doesn't always happen that way, even though it should. They seem to be on top of this one so hopefully they don't drop the ball on the one yard line, but they have in the past so who knows. If they wait until 7:00 which is their normal time, it will have compressed below the days max depth for sure. Technically they should be only measuring what happened since Midnight and adding it to whatever fell yesterday before midnight 8.8 inches. We know that's not happening.

Would love to see it. The last time it happened was 2013/14 57.4 inches, and 2014/15 50.3inches .

Accumulating snow pretty much over. Final total 15.3 inches in Eastern Orange County. A tale of two counties here, most of the southern to northeast part of the county 12-16 inches, 5 miles from that line a rapid drop to 4-6 inches.

close 38.6

0.6 inches fell in the two days afterward. 98% of the storm total was Jan 31-Feb 1. I think I'll leave the dates the way I have it.

At least it broke the Top 10, 9th right now. It takes 16 inches to get into NYC top 20 now. Impressive. 20 Largest Snowstorms Central Park in NYC Ranking Amount Year & Date(s) 1 27.5 January 23, 2016 2 26.9 February 11-12, 2006 3 25.8 December 26-27, 1947 4 21.0 March 12-14, 1888 5 20.9 February 25-26, 2010 6 20.2 January 7-8, 1996 7 20.0 December 26-27, 2010 8 19.8 February 16-17, 2003 9 19.7 February 22-23, 2026 10 19.0 January 26-27, 2011 11 18.1 March 7-8, 1941 12 18.1 January 22-24, 1935 13 18.0 December 26, 1872 14 17.7 February 5-7, 1978 15 17.6 February 11-12, 1983 16 17.5 February 4-7, 1920 17 17.4 February 3-4, 1961 18 17.4 Jan 31-Feb1 2021 19 16.0 December 19-20, 1948 20 16.0 February 12-13, 1899

And therein lies the problem with these large storms. Exactly what happend in 1996 and Boxing Day. They seem on top of this one though so hopefully the final counts it.

Why do I feel 19.9 coming?

Records 27.5. I don't think it has a shot at that but could get in the top five like you say. Hope it does.
