Winding down now. 7.2" event total IMBY. Very pleased with this event. 

[Snowshack]

Final 8.75" here with skies starting to clear, bottom layer is pretty wet on the blacktop but overall a nice event!  Hoping this snowcover can survive Sunday and be around for next weeks arctic air.

Total of 6.5'' fell OTG here. Currently 28* here, hearing rain moving in Sunday afternoon.

Melting has commenced. Lol. 

The temp is below freezing so no. Compacting sure due to the fluff factor

Cannot believe how this overperformed. Incredible. 

When I woke up at 4 am and saw 4" down already, I knew it was game over.

Looking through the guidance, it seems that last night's 0z HREF was really the first model to come out with the kind of totals that we actually saw. It was a pleasant surprise.

Maybe a combo. We got a nice slug of moisture in here that didnt move. But the Kuchera models were always around 10:1 ratios city and east, so maybe that needs to be throw in the trash...

The ratios were higher than what the models showed.

3.3” here 

[justinj]

7.6” middle island

[HeadInTheClouds]

Only 2 inches here 20 miles north of 84. Glad to see so many did so well. 

[jm1220]

Nice totals right down to the south shore too. Lido Beach reported 7.5”. 

[jm1220]

The champs for our sub forum look to be Smithtown with 9.1” and Glen Cove with 9.3”. Numerous 8-9” reports from Port Jeff to LGA on the north shore.

Not sure about the model bust. QPF looks pretty close from most reports. Models don't predict accumulated snowfall.
