I have never seen snow like that in my life i remember during the 2006 blizzard central park picked up 11 inches of snow in 3 hours.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be doable if that last band holds together nicely for a while as it slowly drifts east and disappates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of 10:15 17.5, 17, 17.5, 18 Average is 17.5 Temp 30.2 degrees Less frequent gusts appear to reach around 20-25 mph Activities witnessed; Sledding, picture taking, small snowball fight, attempts at snowmen, dogs frolicking Nice reporting. My purely experiential eyeballing of the snow during that time was 17-18” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll be in the top 5. Records 27.5. I don't think it has a shot at that but could get in the top five like you say. Hope it does.

Winterweatherlover Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Down to very light snow now although not sure if there is still another band that has to push east and move through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - they also met it again this morning I believe - so technically a two day blizzard verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthShoreWx Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 30 minutes ago, liwxfan said: Looks like something trying to pop and drift across the sound. From your lips to God's ears, but so far every time it looks that way the hole comes roaring back. HRRR says we could get another inch, but it also says it should be snowing here now and it's not. My total is 17", so not the worst skunking ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EW9616 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 One of the few spots somewhat disappointed from this storm on a relative basis. Northeast Nassau - in between the bands. Probably finish with maybe 18” is my guess. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat5hurricane Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Steady light snow for hours on top of a 20"+ base is one of the most beautiful sights you'll see around these parts for a snow lover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
