Places 4-5 miles to my south in Nassau got 6-8 inches more . Yep, you got the subsidence between the two bands. Where are you located and approximately how much snow did you receive? I grew up in NW Nassau (Roslyn). Looks like my area was close to the minimum for the entire NYC/LI area - happens somewhat frequently in the past 25 years, yet when I was growing up (late 1980s to mid-1990s) we had near the highest seasonal snowfall totals for all of NYC/LI.

BretWx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I've been watching this the entire time and... I am so glad y'all finally got a REAL one. I lived in NYC when the 2016 storm hit. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life. Congrats to you all!! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jconsor Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html?zoom=7&lat=40&lon=-74&hr=24 Just to see the breadth of this storm is impressive! Totals as high as 20" extended all the way down into Delaware and the eastern suburbs of Philly in sw NJ, and then as far ne as near Boston (still snowing heavily in parts of eastern New England). The true jackpot appears to be RI with multiple reports of 30-33"! Part of SE MA southwest of Boston has seen 24-28". (Circled in purple) Wouldn't be surprised to see some scattered 36"+ reports in RI, like was seen in eastern MA or RI in big ones like Feb 1978, Apr 1997 (April Fools Storm) and Jan 2015 (Juno). Other jackpots we have discussed already - the N-S band from coastal central NJ to ne NJ to Westchester County and sw corner of Staten Island (circled in light blue). Most of NYC aside from NE Queens was pummeled by this band at times, but it was nearly stationary over NE NJ for many hours before it started focusing near NYC. And of course the eastern/central LI jackpot (circled in black). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensewind002 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Took a quick walk up the road to the local elementary school and measured an average of 25" in the field, accounting for compaction we probably finished with around 27-28" or so here in lindenhurst. Gonna go with 27.5" overall. PNS shows similar totals give or take 3" in sw suffolk. All timer for the island 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EW9616 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Like Jan 2022 all over again. There was a very noticeable bump up in snow on the ground once you went south of the LIE on Rt 231 in Dix Hills/Deer Park. I think the totals went from under 12" in Huntington Village to over 20" in Deer Park.Just weird bc the bands set up south to north generally so I wouldn’t expect places just to my south to have so much more. 10-15 min drive south to Plainview and 6-8 inch difference is surprising. I would expect it more east to west drop off on the island. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPcantmeasuresnow Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Accumulating snow pretty much over. Final total 15.3 inches in Eastern Orange County. A tale of two counties here, most of the southern to northeast part of the county 12-16 inches, 5 miles from that line a rapid drop to 4-6 inches. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prob got 16-17” based on reports and eyeballing but I see Plainview reports of 23”. . There was an area of "only" 15-20 inches in parts of Queens and Nassau County that got stuck between the bands in Suffolk and the insane band over NJ/Western NYC this morning. Thankfully this area did well between 4pm and 4am so the subsidence this morning didnt change much in the overall totals especially with the winds and drifts on Long Island in general. Where I live further south in Nassau we likely got close to 20 inches, but measuring is almost impossible due to the winds and drifts. Ive seen 2 measurement of 18.5 in Malverne and 24 in Lynbrrok, both within 2-3 miles of me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Re. the Central Park ob and possibility of officially getting to 20+, hopefully OKX has an agreement with the CPK Conservancy folks who do the measuring to take a measurement once the snow fully comes to a stop. The 6 hour board clearing rule doesn't apply when the accumulating snow ends. For FAA contract observer sites, if the arrangement is the same there as it is out here, we call them for the final measurement when confident there's no more accumulation on the way.

Sent from my SM-S936U using Tapatalk It doesn't always happen that way, even though it should. They seem to be on top of this one so hopefully they don't drop the ball on the one yard line, but they have in the past so who knows. If they wait until 7:00 which is their normal time, it will have compressed below the days max depth for sure. Technically they should be only measuring what happened since Midnight and adding it to whatever fell yesterday before midnight 8.8 inches. We know that's not happening.

I think even if the El Nino is like 0.8-1.3 which is ideal magnitude it may be heavily backloaded with December at risk to be very warm. I saw 86-87 being thrown around early as possibly being a similar match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastalplainsnowman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I don't want to sound greedy after a top 2 or 3 snowfall here, but what's the deal with that nice green radar blob sitting over Nassau the last 90 minutes? Is that producing for anyone, because after being true to what was actually falling until then, I've been under snowless and somewhat brightish skies the last 90 minutes or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterwx21 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 22 minutes ago, Stormlover74 said: Hopefully the la nina is dead. That should help us next winter Yeah but we did very well with the La Nina this winter. Even last winter was colder but the bigger snowstorms got suppressed to the south. Overall we've done very well with La Nina the last couple years so I'm not sure we should be happy to see it go away. I like that La Nina gives us a good chance for winter to get off to an early start with snow in December. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sleet embedded like many had from January, and temps will be warmer, and definitely a stronger sun now than a month ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
