3.5 here final.   Big bust.   Congrats LI!  (again)

All of the mesos yesterday hammered Long Island. Really not surprising. Unfortunately there was a wicked dry tongue which extended from SW CT down through the LHV and into parts of NE NJ.

Yeah I don't understand this we had a great winter the only month that was warm was February. This was an above average winter for everybody 

I think the insanely above average February was the cause. We're not talking about a minor warm spell, it was in the mid 80's here for a day and we flirted with 70's numerous times.

Well I guess I know what you mean but the extremes of this winter beats a lot of the other ones. NYC got above snow, long island and suburbs. Historical cold in january. White Christmas for many. 80's in february. Historical winter in my opinion. I'd take a winter like this any day. Oh let's not forget 4 noreasters. This last one wasn't too windy at least. By the way I live in the Bronx and we got 10-11 Morris park. The 7 inches that fell yesterday were wet, but the snow that fell after midnight was all fluff. It was an interesting storm. Yanks you got into that nice band last night glad u did good. Bring on spring now

I started snowing for real around 3pm but it didn't really accumulate well at any point even though it snowed fairly hard for a few hours, it never really got heavier than moderate. A couple of times after dark it pretty much stopped snowing too.

The two warm weeks in January didn't help the perception either. Over 6 weeks of warmth left most folks with the impression that it was a warm winter. That and even though it was crazy cold for a few weeks there weren't any huge storms also led to that perception. Even up here when the cold broke in January we were only at ~20" and people were talking about how they were glad that winters are so short nowadays that they were ok with it having been so cold.

Finished with 7” here in White Plains, it was basically a dud for say an hour or two. I was caught in dryslots nearly 95% of the storm.

we had a few hrs from 10-2 which is snowed well and we were in yellows on radar, storm was basically over at 4pm

Does anyone know if Central Park posted any updates after the midnight total of 8.2? I can't find anything yet.

Hopefully they don't act like anything after midnight never happened. I checked the observations after midnight and there should be a decent chance of eeking out double digits.

I also hope the conservancy realizes, they can start over again at midnight and shouldn't be using depth as their measurement anymore. It would also be nice if they measured before anything that fell after midnight melts or compresses or a combination of the two. It's better than 50-50 they won't.

I was hearing about some big time totals > 20" in parts of Long Island this morning, which would be similar to January 2015 in some areas.

I would say it was close for me in northeast Nassau. I think the time of the year makes this one more interesting and memorable. As far as amount. May be a few more inches in Jan ‘15. 14” vs 18” if memory serves me correctly.
