    I'll start it off with 25 inches here in Highland Mills in Orange County NY, and still snowing lightly, and explain as follows: I have 23.3 inches on the ground right now. I cleared my snow board last night around midnight and received another 2.2 inches last night. When I went to bed last night I had 22.8 inches on my snow board. The NWS says to clear the snow board at the beginning of each day (midnight) and add totals, not every 6 hours which is what the guidelines were several years ago (and should have never been changed IMO). I hope this doesn't eliminate me as a legitimate total. I'm just following the rules.

    It's actually the 17th biggest storm of all time. Two storms (numbers 10 & 11 on the list) have the same totals that are above it and are tied and they don't adjust for that. Sloppy and careless reporting and TWC keeps making the same mistake today too.

    The Jan 31-Feb 2 storm, with 17.2 inches in Central Park as of 7 am this morning, still stands at number 17 all time in NYC. It will only take another inch though to crack the top 10. Also consider that this is the 17th storm of 17 inches or more in NYC history. In about the same time period in Minneapolis Minnesota (they began their records in the 1880's) they have had only 5 storms above 17 inches.

    Todays storm, with 16.8 inches in Central Park as of midnight, has cracked the top 20 at number 17 all time in NYC. The totals if any today will still be added to this storm which should have an excellent shot at cracking the top 10.

    Just had on TWC and they showed an overhead shot of Middletown NY and reported they have received 9 inches of snow. You can't make it up.
  6. CPcantmeasuresnow
    22 inches otg as of 10:45. Still snowing but the intensity has backed off the 2-3 inch per hour rates form 8-10:30 2 feet appears to be a lock, next stop 30 inches, why not.
  7. CPcantmeasuresnow
    28+ in Newark and 24+ in LGA and that F'n 20.2 right in between the two in Central Park. It was 25-28 inches easy, there were several periods of accumulating snow after they under measured the 20.2 and they never even bothered to update.

    Todays storm, with 15.3 inches in Central Park as of 4:00 PM, has cracked the top 20 at number 20 all time in NYC. It will be interesting how high it climbs up the list tonight. I'm hoping for at least top 10 if not higher.

    16 inches and intensity level way back up again. I'd guess 2 inch per hour rates currently.
  10. CPcantmeasuresnow
    16 inches as of 4:30 and pouring snow
  11. CPcantmeasuresnow
    There have now been 39 foot plus storms in NYC, but 11 have now occurred since the year 2000. Also there have been 67 storms of 10 inches plus. Who really can tell the difference between 10 & 12, minor.
  12. CPcantmeasuresnow
    It may have already. Hopefully the Conservatory reports at 1 PM.
  13. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Thoughts and prayers to those in Bordentown, that's heartbreaking

    7:00 AM reading?

    The 1996 storm it was high single digits when it started. Ratios even in NYC were 15 to 20:1 in that storm.
  16. CPcantmeasuresnow
    It looks like this may have what it takes to crack the top 20 list in NYC of top storms of all time. They need 15.3 inches to do it. A lot of the guidance seems to give them a decent shot. 20 Largest Snowstorms All Time Central Park in NYC (through Jan 31, 2021) Rank.Amount..Date 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……..19.0…..January 26-27, 2011 10…..18.1…..March 7-8, 1941 11…..18.1…..January 22-24, 1935 12…..18.0…..December 26, 1872 13…..17.7…..February 5-7, 1978 14…..17.6…..February 11-12, 1983 15…..17.5…..February 4-7, 1920 16…..17.4…..February 3-4, 1961 17…..16.0…..December 19-20, 1948 18…..16.0…..February 12-13, 1899 19…..15.3…..February 9-10, 1969 20…..15.2…..December 11-12, 1960

    Unless it moves 40 miles east, then it's right over us. That 27 is right over my house as it stands.
  18. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Gem not to shabby either.
  19. CPcantmeasuresnow
    And here comes the 0Z GFS saying it's about time the HV was the sweet spot in one of these runs.
  20. CPcantmeasuresnow
    I'd also like to see other than a 10:1 snow map. From 30 miles north of NYC I'm thinking ratios will be more like 12 to 14:1.
  21. CPcantmeasuresnow
    I'm not quite sure how you define historic but NYC, which is usually on the low end of the storm totals, has had 38 storms of 12 inches or more, 66 storm of 10 inches or more, including about a month ago, and 10 storms of a foot or more in the last 20 years. Historic might be a little strong, 20 inches or more in NYC, there's only been 7 of those so that might be a good classification of historic for NYC, but I doubt that happens for them this storm.
  22. CPcantmeasuresnow
    You're really going out on a limb with that one.
  23. CPcantmeasuresnow
    I have several friends that went to college there. A snow lovers paradise. Over 200 inches a year in their average seasons.
  24. CPcantmeasuresnow
    Your damn right the 0Z NAM looks good. It's still snowing at hour 84.
  25. CPcantmeasuresnow
    You sound so pessimistic. That’s so unlike you.
