Just measured 8 inches on the picnic table here in Sheepshead Bay Brooklyn. We just got into the northern fringe of that heavy band overnight.

Seems about right . We got clipped by the band.

wow Don, is this the least snow NYC has had when JFK had 6" plus?

It has to be!

Good question. It is. The previous record for smallest amount at Central Park when JFK Airport saw 6" or more snow occurred on February 23, 1987. Central Park: 4.2"; JFK Airport: 6.1".

About 3” here in NW Suffolk. Still coming down. Models and Upton were dead on accurate. Can probably squeeze out another .5”

currently 29 and moderate snows. 
 

16” for the season

As of about 5.50 am the snow band finally petered out and I measured 11.0" for a paltry 1" in the last hour - usually i would kill fire that lol.  Could still get another inch over the next few hours but the main event is over. Saw 12" retorted in Readington and plenty of 10+" amounts in CNJ and 9.9" in Metuchen at 5 am which is very close to my 10" at 4.45 am. Really feeling like a once in a lifetime event for a surprise localized major storm and especially getting 2"/hr rates for 5+ hours.  Very LES like.

I was the only maniac at the mall today...me and the janitors. But couldn't start up the snow blower at 6 am. Let the neighbors sleep, plus it is illegal.....got some nice pictures around Menlo. Plows having an easier time with this storm. They actually struggled with the ice a few weeks back, they closed the upper decks for a week til it melted. Going to fire up the big blower today.....10-11 inches ....

or it’s still 32° in Central Park and never got back to the 20s as forecasted. 

 

It will be interesting to see what the totals will be in central Park today versus the airports

The snow stuck here easily, we just didn't get into that band

wow 6 inches really? I'm at the same latitude as they are, 5 miles to the east and nothing on the roads at any point during the storm but it looks really good on the trees, rooftops and driveway and sidewalks.

Same town as  you

No. Central Park stands at 7.5" after 2.0". There could still be some minor additional accumulation when the final report is posted.

Thanks Don. It's amazing what a small difference in area can do. CPK was only a few miles from easily passing 10. 

I think JFK has a legitimate shot at ending the season with more than Logan airport.

Wow, that was another notoriously southern based winter when Monmouth County got 50" of snow that season and NYC got only 25" or so.
