Snow totals

9" and still coming down in Great Neck. I was wrong about this one - up until last night I was convinced that there was not enough moisture and it would move too rapidly to provide more than 6 inches anywhere south of CT/ LI Sound or west of 95. I admit I was wrong and I am glad I wasn't more vocal! That said, totals in NJ appear weak and the 12+ for NYC or western long island appears to have been aggressive. I guess the powers that be didn't want to be caught flat footed again when some of our sanitation friends decided they were going to show Mr. Mayor who really takes out the trash in this town. This one was hyped.

Radar shows the end is near for us but what a ferocious storm.
Averaged about an inch an hour and the radar echos looked like a summer thunderstorm - yellows and reds everywhere. Explains how it came down so fast. Here are some totals from the NWS as of 420 :). LGA looks low considering I am less than 10 miles away. Damn contract workers! Highest totals are in N. Westchester and likely in southern CT when it is over there as expected.
