Ended up with 6.5 here. Kind of bummed with that being how well the models looked at 12z yesterday. Oh well.

Tough to measure because of the wind and the very warm ground but I tested a dozen spots around my property and came up within an inch either side of 12 in most places.  Calling it at 12".  There is 2" of goo at the bottom though and the ground underneath is not frozen so it will compact quite a bit overnight as things drain and freeze, bet if I measure again tomorrow it will be down to 8".

12.25in final measurement in Syosset, NY. Very impressive storm with high rates.

If the storm had slowed down we probably would have verified some of those crazy numbers on the 4k NAM, EURO, RGEM, etc. But still a solid SECS-MECS event for many.

What you end up with?

[Snowshack]

Still occasional flurries and the sun never broke through here.  Nice way to wrap up an event.

I almost feel like the wind is stronger than that high wind event a few weeks ago

A few from around sunset. Moving that snow near my car sucked. The first is my backyard where I measured-averaged around 11". Elsewhere it was too drifty to try. 

[jm1220]

Ouch at PHL-the airport ended up with less than 1". Elsewhere in the city ended with 1-3". The writing was unfortunately on the wall for them last night at 0z and much of central NJ too. But we also saw how ridiculous the high snow ratio maps were, I think many of us ended up under 10-1 even. This stuff wasn't easy shoveling.

I shoveled a bit so I could get out of my apartment this AM, it was like shoveling wet cement.

Up here ratios were def above 10:1. General 11-14" fell in orange county and im pretty sure LE was <1"

They usually report snow as fog so I guess it's an improvement.

The final batch of snow was high ratio here but that was it. The bottom was slush and beyond that we mostly had 10-1 sand flakes. No thunder here but 7am to 10am's snow rates were everything that was advertised. That was insane.

Sun is coming out-nice sunset on tap. I'm going with 11" final, makes my seasonal total 25.5".

See we did have steady snow through 4 PM ;-) this was the perfect day time event- the only thing that would make it better would be to have it last for two days :-P

What was your final total as of 6 PM?

[Fantom X]

11" OTG here.. The bottom 1" is complete slush. This is some of the heaviest snow that I have had to shovel.

I'd say 11", average between the 9" and 13" I measured in a few spots. It was also hard finding an area that wasn't that drifty.

Same here, although my range was more extreme- more like 7 inches and 16 inches.

[Paragon]

Been hearing the pattern for the rest of the month is really good, so this might still not be our largest snowfall of the season.

[doncat]

You guys have your melted eq? Looking at asos sites, they're  all over the place.

[tdp146]

Another year, another blizzard.  Tough to measure with the wind. I will call it 11 inches with my regular ruler... 21 inches with my Kuchera ruler

[UlsterCountySnowZ]

Saw a report that New Paltz had 15" (trained spotter) would be highest storm total I've seen in NY and they're further north of me lol...
