i hope we get that inch this storm deserves to be in the top 5 of all time for central park.

At least it broke the Top 10, 9th right now.

It takes 16 inches to get into NYC top 20 now. Impressive.

Islip: 29.1". That breaks the all-time record of 27.8" from February 8-9, 2013.

But don't the records start in 1963 or 66? It misses out on historical storms, like 1958. I'm sure either the February or March event would be on there if it extended that far.

Providence RI is breaking a long standing record from 1978 as we speak. Incredible obs coming out of there.

When you break 1978 records you know you are in rare territory. Especially when those records are from southeast New England.

The CPK measurement is logical to me, LGA is a bit suspicious

What was the LGA measurement?

[ag3]

22.2” at LGA.

83! 

Plenty of damage to the trees and power lines out there. 
 

 

[Brian5671]

The snowpiles from this storm will be around forever not to mention the remnants of priors storms under them

[Nibor]

There's trees in my neighborhood with over a foot of snow in its branches.

[Volcanic Winter]

1/25 was most comparable to what, 94? This is a classic KU HECS but 1/25 for some areas was mental also with 10+ inches and several inches of accumulated ice. I need to upload my video of ice picking away my parents house in Seaside for a week straight and the shards of ice I was ripping up off everything.

Not everywhere had that component the same way, different than just a sleet slush bomb. Then the temps…

[nycwinter]

hard to believe that from 7 to 1 central park picked up less then 5 inches of snow where here in manharttan where i am it was puking snow for hours after 7.. laguardia seems more believable.

We are back under a mega band here in Patterson, NY. Snow is really cranking.

Agree, also given the totals just across the Hudson again, so it’s on both sides of Manhattan.

PVD is in the process of destroying its 1978 record. So far, it has seen 32.8" and it continues to snow heavily.

[BxEngine]

20” is my low end measurement, avg between 19 and 22 in my boards around the yard. 

[ag3]

22”-24” measurements here in Whitestone, Queens.

I’ll go with the middle. 23”. A top 3 storm for me.

Incredible.

[ForestHillWx]

@MANDA measurements varied from 8.5-10.5”; drifts in the back yard had 18-24”. I think 10” will do.

Heavy though, snowblower fought it at times.
