Do you mean four inches or more?

yea...it happened a few times...

before 1991 the record snow on this date was 2.1" set in 1938...Since then we got 2.4" in 1991...6.0" in 2001...4.2" in 2011 and 4.3" this year...We went over a 100 years without a 4" snowfall on this date and now we have three in eleven years and two in a row...

Can some one explain how and why no matter the type of event why a super band always sets up just north of the coast and sorta shadows it.. And Nassau county gets the sh-t end of the stick so often.. Its amazing..

There was a notable north / south difference in snow across Nassau yesterday...Bayville, in the extreme north, saw 5.3", while much of the S. Shore was closer to 2.0"

Besides the points made by the poster from Long Beach (lack of orographic lift, etc), I think much of that southern area is hurt by the stabilizing effects of the ocean...we usually note this in summer...when the nearby water discourages instability and the development of cumulonimbus clouds...but it also serves as a factor in winter...stabilizing the air...and the more land you have, the more opportunity you have for sort of squeezing moisture out of the air through the the effects of frictional contact.
