8.5” final 

The snow capital of Long Island. North shore western Suffolk really kills it during events like this (ie where southern/eastern areas favored). I’m about 7-7.5in for this which is great but there have been more than a few where my 7-8 miles NW of you makes a big diff

Just light snow now, going to end in a few minutes, I'm sure. Becoming quite cold and blustery. Finished off with just about 6" here in Bayside (one of the colder and more elevated spots of Queens). Waiting for the final measurements from CPK, LGA, and JFK, but seems like the lowest amounts are around 3.5 in parts of Brooklyn, Manhattan, Bronx, but Staten Island Queens has widespread 5-6." Seems pretty in line with all forecasts. Nice bust in the good direction though for the suburbs, lots of 6-8 in southern Westchester, northeast and central NJ, and Suffolk County. NYC is surrounded by 6-8 lol, but too warm to start off in the boroughs, knocked us down to 3-6 (which was in line with forecasts).

Any chance LGA can beat 3.6”? If so, it would mean their heaviest single storm total in nearly 4 years (Jan of 2022) and heaviest in Dec in 5 years.

Was a couple degrees colder here to start so that helped. Those couple degrees and a little elevation really help in marginal events which this started out as.

Measured in 10 places and had an average of 5.5" (a hair under).

Awesome, similar amounts over here. Barring any strange measurements from the official measuring sites, we were all in line with what was expected. Good to see

Agree. I’m right at the Nassau/suffolk border off 25a. I was sticking immediately at 34/35. If it weren’t for the subsidence until about 5am 8-10 would’ve been doable. I imagine you guys were in a similar spot. Really ramped up after 5am

I think they'll be right near 3-3.5

In Jan 2022, they recorded over that amount twice. I believe they recorded 9" for the early Jan storm (that was an overperformer, was expected to get 3-5", ended up with 5-9" across the city) and then late Jan storm was around 10" I believe

At my in-laws in Old Field, only about 4” here-seems like a relative loser compared to the rest of North Shore Suffolk.

Right on the sound probably not a good spot since it might've been a couple degrees warmer and lost some of the initial snow.

I have a photo of my measurement but can’t post it here. Jim is right. My elevation here is about 250 and being inland helped for sure. We had a coating right from the start and got in some nice banding.
