Getting closer to the ALL-TIME record Snowstorm in NYC. 24.8" as of 1:00 pm. The question is...did enough fall since then to reach the 26.4" record? The latest NWS discussion has not ruled out the possibility. We'll find out this evening when the final measurement is made.
Why they don't make special measurement times when such a historic record may be broken is beyond me. NWS policy....UGH.

That's awesome, I seriously feel like I just broke some sort of record. All from a storm that was sill in question Saturday morning. This also brings NYC over 40" for several consecutive years now.
Who would have guessed after January.

Just imagine the Monday morning commute!! Too bad it isnt next monday and a national holiday. Still will be a good day to call in sick. With so much snow even with the plaows where do you shove that much snow. Do you clear the strees by burying the cars and siedwalks? Be simpler just to shove it all to the bay.
Question for people living in NY. I know in places like DC and Pittsburg the rivers freeze up. Does the river system in NY city ever have an ice issue??

Because messing with the 6hr interval messes with the data...

Regardless, if it's done more frequently than every 6 it can't go in the record books.

Not that this makes much difference, but I wonder how far back the records go for Central Park? The largest snowfall since 1947 is very impressive indeed!
