Upton's 10:55 snowfall forecast update has much of lets call it the SW quadrant of Nassau in 30-36.  Since the event is essentially over I assume that means they are aware of spotter reports over 30 in that area which have yet to be published?

I'm wondering that myself. Why did Upton decide to paint that area in 30+? NYC was under intense banding for longer than Nassau was from what I saw.

Not despite, but because.

Seconded. The moisture tap from this came from the Pacific, and for quite a while-from just about when it blasted through Texas to when it climbed the coast. I think this can definitely be attributed to the El Nino this winter. Not to say this wouldn't have been awesome without the Nino, but it definitely provided some juice, and without it, certain things may not have happened which did happen because of the influence. When a strong La Nina pattern constantly blasts the Midwest and New England next time it happens, you'll know what I mean. 

 

El Nino's don't directly spawn storms in the Lower 48, they provide juice and strength to already existing storms. I'm a much more direct example-Hurricane Patricia might have been a powerful storm in the Pacific before hitting Mexico, but undoubtedly the El Nino made the conditions better for Patricia to strengthen. May's epic rainfall from here through Oklahoma and the Plains directly came from a jet pointed from Mexico for a few weeks. I've never seen rain like what happened here in May and late October (almost 6" of rain in one hour before Halloween and over 20" of rain in May 2015), as well as tornado/severe activity. California has thankfully received benefits from El Nino-enhanced storms, and a jet influenced by the El Nino to aim storms their way. Don't think of El Nino as a causer, it's more of an influencer.

The Pacific is still by far the largest body of water on Earth, and when heat is redistributed in that body of water, meaning MUCH more energy for storms east of where they normally are, and to be added to the atmosphere, that will have repercussions across the entire planet. Especially in a borderline record Nino such as this.

All good that 2006 storm was weak. The CCB sat right over the park for hours. It wasn't indicative of the rest of the area
