Anyone City and east cannot complaint about this winter. Most from Eastern Nassau out east are at or above total seasonal average snowfall totals. 

Nice 3-4" from this overperforming event. 32" here for the season is outstanding on February 14. Anything from here on out is house money.

Still snowing and 29 in NW suffolk, 3.5" down

Its not outstanding when 90 percent of snow fell in one day.

As of 11:00 am, we're up to 3.25" with 1/4" the last hour; my driveway/sidewalk still has about 1/2" of snow in most spots from the earlier band, although that will melt with lighter rates and the indirect sun.  Still 32F.  

Well it's been snowing fairly lightly and continuously since 11 am and it seems like the snowfall rate has been roughly equal to the melting rate (I'm guessing we've had about 0.1-0.2" snow per hour and that's the likely melting rate), so I'm going to stick with the 3.25" I measured at 11 am. It also hasn't wavered from 32F since 9 am.

With the sun much lower in the sky now, it's likely that any additional snow will accumulate, but the storm's precip looks to be close to over, except for the coast and LI. If this is the last of it, that brings our seasonal total up to 18.5", which is very c;lose to normal for this point in the season.

Too early to rate the season.   Going back 50 years at BNL there were eight years prior to this one with 20 or more inches in January - all eight of those ended with 50"+ (most were 60"+).   Hopefully that is an indicator we've got more to come...

One last band developing over NJ? Could at least give another coating now that the sun is down especially. Just starting to stick on pavement here but now it’s just flurries. 

Yep it stretches back to Philly and there is heavier snow about to move into Manhattan!  At this rate, this might keep going until midnight, down to 29 degrees here with a windchill of 17!

There was a storm like this back in February sometime in the early 90s.  It was supposed to just be a frontal passage with rain changing to snow and ending, well it ended up snowing all day with temps of between 33-34 and it only stuck on grass but then it snowed all night too and got heavier and we got 8 inches in a narrow band from Newark to NYC through Long Island and it snowed for 36 hours straight!  One of my all time favorite storms and a complete surprise, as no accumulation was expected.  A low formed along the front and stalled SE of the Hamptons.

Street is re-whitened here.  27°

Haven't measured in a bit, but it was 4.5" last time I did.  We're gonna be close to 5" on this latest "strung out, wide right, less than an inch, pointless, heartless, four-flushing, baby-eating" snowman19 storm.

Ed, remember the neverending frontal snowstorm from the early 90s when it snowed for 36 hours and finally started sticking at night and we ended up with 8 inches lol?

No point in that, when it snows at night you can't see it fall, so it's no fun taking pictures in pitch darkness.

 

Always prefer night time snow, so there's much less chance of melting and you can see the snow all night if you just don't waste time sleeping.  Plus, I really enjoy the late night Jeb-walks when there's not another soul in the world to disturb the perfect peace of a silent snowfall.
