You’re a trusted wealth of knowledge here, please see my post above from the NW thread, would you record the 17.7 or the 19.5 for the event?

I think there's a data point missing.  You had 13.6 on the "24-hour board" but did you take two measurements during that time that added up to 15"+?  If so, I'd go with the 19.5.  I've been measuring temp/precip at 9 PM since moving to northern Maine on 1/1/76 as my 5 AM wake-up precluded midnight obs.  Joining cocorahs in 2009 automatically meant 2 obs (at least) daily as I didn't care to corrupt 30+ years of data by measuring only at 7 AM. 
As for knowledge, I say that while I may know a lot, at least 1/3 of it is flat-out wrong and I don't know which third.  :o   One of my favorite sayings, that dates back to the Lincoln administration, is: "It ain't so much people being ignorant; it's them knowing things that ain't so."  (But thanks for your comment!)

Yeah, there were a couple other posts I didn’t quote.  Long story short I had one board I only cleared once in 24 hours and another board that I cleared “close to” every 6 hours (I wasn’t getting up in the middle of the night to clear it and I was an hour late on one clearing yesterday afternoon).  It was just a little experiment for me.  The total of the board I cleared once a day was 17.7” and that’s the total going into my records.

Boston only ended with 1-2”. Yikes. Central Park about 4” above them for the winter now. 

Snow/drizzle here, temp 33. 

Wow. The models did a good job with that East wind into Boston. 
 

Final total here 17.5 and has not stopped snowing in 3 days! Thank you blocking

I live on Long Island but the Boston statement is a bit misleading. BOS is Logan which is basically in the ocean. All immediate suburbs did quite well. Cutofff was just insane within a 10 mile radius....

So Boston Logan is basically our version of jfk right on the water. That is one insane cutoff though can’t think of too many storms with that sharp of a cutoff say between jfk and cpk

About a half inch so far from the current snow shower.  30F (Smithtown)

I was out and about and the roads are snow covered and slippery.  I was suprised how eager the anti-lock brakes were to engage and I was babying them. 

Lesson is...the ground was frozen before; 12 hours at 33 or 34 isn't going to keep things liquid on the roads once the sun goes down.

when was the last 6-10" storm where it wasn't a result of being on the fringe of massive amounts? 

Remember one from Jan ‘17. May have been a fringe nor’easter but was general 5-10  with more east end LI and less toward city.
