GFS, EURO,GGEM, all have next weeks storm now, however they're OTS... NAVGEM/UKIE are big hits area wide..something to watch atleast

Trough alignment and lack of -ao supports a coastal scraper or ots. Only way to get a bigger storm is for a perfectly placed northern vort phase.

if you're looking for another big event like this it's very unlikely...we could get some more snow but I doubt this will happen again this year...if we get another very negative period for the arctic oscillation we could see another big event...I think it's on to thawing a bit before the next chance comes around...I think the end of the week chance is a slim one at best..

Awesome storm. I hope this made everyone less on edge about the winter.

I hope the next storm includes our far NW burbs posters.

 

Yup good stuff for sure but I still need at least two more just like it to hit my annual average.

 

That would mean you guys get rain and turn everything into huge piles of mush.  I mean, I'm ok with that but... :)

Doorman will be quiet for a while. Anyways when will we find out about the final snow total for KNYC?

I doubt it will be revised, NWS confirmed the total a few hours ago on twitter:

 

Well, Central Park had 26.8" of snow but it wasn't quite the biggest snowstorm on record. #winterstorm

I was sure we'd break the record, but we basically tied it.

Looks like the highest official totals in the city were all within a few inches of Central Park's total, so i assume we actualy didnt break the record. JFK, Port Richmond, and Williamsburg were the only official totals that were around 30.

Awesome storm...still bullcrap though.

this mornings snow depth was 22" in Central Park and 27" at LGA...JFK 28"...maybe the measurement was right...

 

I would certainly say the Conservancy did a much better job than the Central Park Zoo would have done with this storm. I would guess if the Zoo was still in charge the final total would have been about 22. My only beef is they measured 25.1 inches at 7pm and Newark and Laguardia had totals of 25.5 and 24.5 at the same time. Those two ended with 27.9 and 28.1 inches. It is unlikely that Central Park which is geographically right in between the two, 5 miles or so on either side, that there was that big a discrepancy after 7pm. Otherwise a nice job by the Conservancy.

Yeah. My issue is that it snowed pretty heavily for a while after that 25.1 at 7pm. Not sure how they botched the final but #2 all time and the #1 single day record are more than enough for me.

The three airports all being well ahead of Central Park-highly unusual, especially JFK and LGA-raises a red flag to me when Manhattan was under the same banding, even seemingly more intense banding, for longer. 

 

There was also a little more snow after that measurement. I strongly believe this broke the record.

I agree. Its pretty accurate but probably a couple tenths too low. Then again who knows, DCA always tends to be a foot less than the surburbs and BWI
