This week has been bad for the area. All of the weaker trees around my yard got taken out. 

Yeah lost a fence and damaged my pool friday, and had a tree almost land in the exact same spot last night, got lucky and it missed everything.

I lost a fence Friday too.  Then we lost power for 16 hours yesterday from 7 inches of snow.  Trees and branches down everywhere.

I’m headed right to that 36” tonight. That’s where my ski House is!!!

very impactful storm in wantagh. 5” of that kind of cement will do it.

lost the largest branch we have lost since Irene and it went right through my neighbors fence. Part of my neighborhood still has no power 

I wouldn’t call this a miss

That 24.3 in Newtown, CT looks bogus.

The OKX PNS has a spotter-reported 26.8" in New Fairfield, so it's not totally on an island. In our area, Rockland, Orange, Columbia, Fairfield, and Litchfield counties all had 24"+ reports, so we know the storm was capable of it.

There was bands too so who knows.  My in laws are in the next town over-Monroe and they had about 12-14 so seems odd there would be double just 5 miles away

Central Dutchess was actually a pretty righteous screw zone relative to everywhere else... at least if you believe the reported totals across the region. 21" 15 miles to my west in Highland, 20" 15 miles north in Pine Plains, 28" 15 miles east in Warren, then all the crazy 2' amounts in eastern Orange. 13.1" here.

You had a perfect opportunity to make a Stealers Wheel "piles to the left of me, icebergs to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with foot" reference and utterly blew it.  This is the most disappointed I've been since Jim Cantore's hair blew off in Hurricane Andrew and never grew back.

I got 3 inches in the Bronx I still need an inch to be average I think we'll get that sometime this month. Regardless it was a great winter not too cold but decently snowy. I just wish NYC got clobbered the last two times but the urban heat is unreal. By the way it was raining in the Bronx last night as the system was pulling out around 8pm

Personally, I think we had a little more than that, especially if you account for the snowfall the previous night and the constant melting/compaction. Someone on Grand Concourse measured 5.3". I'm going with 5.5" in Pelham Gardens, a very residential area.

The UHI does make a massive difference. We also smoked exhaust from the mega-band over NNJ/Rockland that gave those 2' totals. The subsidence was a factor all day.

Ended up with 9.1 inches.  Not too shabby for a storm that missed the coast.  Now I've got to get the wires down in the backyard taken care of.

Same here. Our totals are usually very close.

After days of no power a 'miss' on the big totals is just fine with me. 

North and West - I shoveled for 4 1/2 hours too. My banks were over head high last night before settling, now they're around shoulder height.

Unreal. Other then lga I think you had the least in our entire area. Definitly more then that in wantagh with solid cover still expect for under trees

Areas without any sun still have some coverage but open areas/fields are mostly bare now, a few patches here and there.

Here are some pics from last night.  23 inches was the average.  Some areas were slightly lower, while others were higher (up to 25") 

There's a car under there somewhere.

I took some photos and my iPhone shows the time each one was taken . At 4pm I had 10 inches . At 720om I had over 22 . Don’t  think we will see a three hr period like that again in along time

Here you go.

Thanks - great graphics!  For some storms, I've seen the NWS Eastern Region publishing snowfall maps for the entire region, but haven't been able to find that (that website is horrible).  The various offices usually do them, except for NYC, often (not up right now) - Philly office just put theirs up, which is nice...

I agree.  The rates between 3-7pm defientely beat out January 2016, and I think any other storm I've ever witnessed.
