I’m equidistant from the LI Sound and the Great South Bay. Finished with exactly 3 inches here. Turned into a localized warning level event for the North Shore with the 6.5” in Syosset. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=PNSOKX&e=201903021601 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1220 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Long Beach according to parents had an inch. I'll be there later this afternoon. Not too surprised since the immediate shore really struggled with sleet/rain for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestHillWx Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 About 5" out this way; highest single storm total since the November storm. Decent snow back building. Let's see what tomorrow brings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudiant Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 NYC Central Park a healthy 2", maybe even a bit more. Plus we still had snow cover from the prior event, so it added nicely and gave a solid cover. Lots of happy kids on sleds, even a few intrepid cross country skiers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough to enjoy but with minimal effect on travel. Roads just wet with lots of melting now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought per the 7A NWS ob there at CP, a healthy 4 and rising. Glad NYC is doing better. It's not over this month.... we still eventually may get a phaser but it could be too warm mid or late March. It's the phasers that are extra special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Snowfall analysis, see legend, only thru 7A. Will try to add there whole event late this evening. Not too shabby for a midnightish start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Park recorded 4 inches today and it definitely did not have 2 inches on the ground already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The northern extent of the heavier snowfall needs to be moved north by a pretty fair bit. There were lots of reports of 4" in Westchester and I'm right on the county line in Putnam and had 4.5".

If the obs didn't make it in, which i dont know exactly what they accept, then that impacts the evaluation. I just don't know why Westchester is not properly evaluated.

Here is more info to support what I think is a pretty good evaluation. It in part depends on the observed information being assimilated with there Satellite. A link is provided, plus a snap shot graphic of one of the important pages. https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/technology/pdf/snow_data_assimilation.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks @wdrag. It's also tough since Jerry doesn't report from Yorktown anymore so there's no more reliable reports form the northern end of Westchester and I don't know of any trained spotters here in Putnam that report regularly. I've thought about it but my property doesn't lend itself to proper measuring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the CoCORAHS obs. Only one of 4" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when we start seeing double digit storm totals in March in urban areas- they're exceedingly rare. This was yet another storm with a borderline airmass. In March you need a strong deep push of Arctic air while a storm develops off the coast to get what you can get in January and February with borderline airmasses.
