Anything to downplay it.    Do people forget it was with temps b/w 30-32 the entire storm and it's late February?

temps dropped into the upper 20' s in nyc during the height of the storm.

I drove around a bit today.  Main roads are fully cleared.  Some of the secondary roads aren't always wide enough for 2-way traffic, but passable.  Whatever it is they were trying to do in the vicinity of the Ronkonkoma LIRR station around 1 pm was utter chaos, absolute amateur madness.  Also defies imagination that they would plow Union Ave last.  It's like a city Avenue.

I drove from Sunrise Highway up to 25A in Stony Brook on Nichols Rd.  There was more snow near Bellport than in Stony Brook but it's hard to gage how much from the car on a sunny late winter day.

I'll take all the liquid we can get to help with these droughts. I know this storm helped a great bit. But more work needs to be done

People seem to be questioning the totals. It's weird

I’m confused. I thought people who lived 20 miles outside the city were supposed to be complaining about under-measurement?

Deep winter out; just came in with the dog.

14, calm winds, bright moon… refreshing actually.
