I don’t mean amounts. I mean if they paint accum this time year, that’s where you’re most likely to see some 

How would that differ in winter?

Late weekend storm looks interesting.  Model watching is the perfect distraction for Covid.  Glad the tree canopy is still bare around here and I assume it is in the areas that are foretasted to get snow.  The May 8 1977 snowstorm did so much damage back then because leafout had already occurred.  That makes a ton of difference.

BDR: 10.1"

EWR: 6.9"

ISP: 6.8"

NYC: 4.8"

LGA: 4.6"

JFK: 3.8"

That's bad, but you take the reversal jack pot
