Snow depth is a great way to measure a winters severity...
After 1995 Central Park didn't record snow depth...I believe they started to record it again in 2006...I had to use La Guardia Airport observations a few years...A few numbers were estimated because of missing information or wrong info...These Snow depth days are days when some snow was on the ground at any time during the day...Max snow depth could have been a few inches more in some cases because of melting or compacting before the next 24hr observation...

Trace days are days when a trace of snow was recorded or a trace was on the ground...Total days 1"-20" also...
Lack of trace days in recent years makes me think a few are going undetected... Years ago snow depth was to the tenth of an inch...Later in one inch increments...
1993-94 has the most 1" days...Most trace days and consecutive trace days...
1947-48 had the most consecutive 1" , 4" and 10" days...
