100% I am not longer considering the 4 inch record as relevant.

Everyone north, south, east and west of them got more snow but hey, the park didn't record 4 inches so it must mean something!

We have to come to terms with the fact that the park is no longer a reliable weather station, whether it's temperatures, wind data or snowfall.

This was definitely an overachiever here for sure. Reminds me of 3/22/18 somewhat even though I know those amounts were higher, that’s the last I think across the board overachiever in my area.

Measured 3.25" in Pelham Bay Park. I believe is the most significant snowfall in years. Did some real snow shoveling for the first time in a while.  Heavy wet stuff doesn't help.

I'm less than 3 miles north of pelham bay park and I measured 6" on colder surfaces

I believe 4” is the proper mark for December La Niña . We still have another half of the month to go but either way doesn’t look like there’s anything on the horizon

Nice event out here.  Sat at 34 degrees for 11 straight hours and still got over 6".  Have some branches down.  Current temp is 29 with flurries.  Most snow I've seen since Jan 2022.  

Wow! Has it really been that long??? Crazy!

[wthrmn654]

I'm going go with 4 inches storm was wetter and sloppier then expected.  

Epic paste job versus the fluffy.

3" works as well (95% success rate) but yeah gonna need to see just a dusting more before the park officially gets 3". Would really not take much at this point lol

Exactly its now a useless measurement site.

It holds no meaning at this point lol.

Places near riverhead I'm seeing reports of 6 or 7 inches

You might have taken mine already since I see a Huntington Station 8" but that's where I ended up. It was around 12:30pm.

Honestly the most picturesque storm we’ve had in a long time. Magical December Sunday.

[WxDom]

Thanks for the reports all. Enjoy the snow.

Ended up with 4.2" here.  Not bad, it's literally only the middle of December.

That at least two people can't measure snow, or don't know when to measure snow, or just don't care.

Here’s to an at least normal winter hopefully
