COOL FACT...
NYC began recording weather data in 1868. So in the first 128 years of recording weather data, NYC currently only has 2 storms on the top 10 list of all-time greatest snowstorms for NYC... 1888 & 1947 respectively. That's from 1868 to 1995.
Since then, the last 25 years (1996 to 2021), NYC has 8 of the top 10 greatest storms!!! That is simply amazing!
First 128 years..... 2 top 10 storms.
Last 25 years...... 8 top 10 storms.

NOTE: I wrote this before I found out NBC tweeted the wrong 18.3" Central Park measurement, that is was actually 16.3". But if CP can get 2.0 inches over the next day, then this post applies.
