Yep. I noticed that and was just going to leave it out, but its an official OB so i included it but im sure its too low

Walking through the Park showed snow cover pretty thin, consistent with the official 1.6" estimate.

However, the ground had been wet and it is possible that the initial snowfall was melted, Certainly there was a lot of ice patches where snow had been cleared.

The most accumulation was definitely on the rustic wooden fences, they had easily half again as much snow depth as the ground, probably because their surface was pretty dry when the snow began.

Central Park sticks out like a sore thumb

There was a 2.8 measurement just to the east of the park, that seems to be more in line with what actually fell.

As far as ranges are concerned, 1.6 averages to 2, so if someone were to ask me how much snow fell, I would have said 2-4 inches for the city and coast and 4-8 inches inland.  Those ranges cover pretty much everyone.
