That's crazy as much. As I like this storm it hurts to miss the record by so little

You gotta be kidding me. The zookeeper is clocked out for the night...

They're seriously laughing about it on TWC right now. They can't believe it either.

The zookeeper dosent do it anymore

That band look like it missed most of Manhattan...at least appears so on radar.
It was close though, hope to squeeze a couple tenths of an inch out.

Twc claims that NYC needs 1/10 of an inch to tie record , how the hell is that possible

Yeah I know. Old days joke. It's like missing the game winning field goal with no time left (sorry any Vikings fans). Please let a last minute burst develop.

Isnt the record for CPK 26.9? Are u Shitting me?

Going with 32" storm total. Best measurement I could get from observations around me (just took a walk) and gather from reports around me.

Just woke up to add another log to the wood burner and had to check in. Still snowing lightly and another pretty heavy band dropping in from ct. Got another 1.5" since I went to bed. Dry and fluffy. Next town over had an official measurement of 27" at 9 pm and we've added since by a couple. This band will help me make a run at 30" and the city will break the record easy

Nope I took a look at radar it's weakening and I don't think they will take another measur,met anyway it's really ashama

.............by the way for the record. 26 consecutive hours of snowfall and counting on Long Island without any mixing at all during a hellnino year. Has to be some kind of record

Guys...just looked cause I'm bored but really Long range did a really good job predicting this storm. We can't expect it to nail down totals from 7 days out but it actually is pretty impressive. Some quotes from a week ago:

Sat Jan 16, 2016 11:53 am....and on til sunday

I'm hearing the Canadian shows a HECS???

Gfs cmc and ukie all showing a good to great storm.

The UKMET is consistent with pumping the ridge. This would surely be a hit.

MADONNE on the NAVGEM

Please let the 00z GFS verify. Thanks.

Euro showing big Improvements - HR 87 closed off
still closed at 93 and 96 SHOW TIME!!

There will another measurement at 7am

Yep this threat was around for a few weeks already and it actually verified

Holy shit. Still snowing. Steady big flakes. 3" new since 9 pm when I officially measures. I know because I wiped off the backyard table at 9. Unreal

Coming up on 28 consecutive hours of snow and 30" ??

Just got home from working 24 hours straight. DPW did a great job. The guys on this board did a great job with this storm. Still snowi,g and as of now I'm going to say 25-28 inches. Time for shut eye

Newark 28.1
La Guardia 27.9
JFK 30.5
Central Park 26.8 - It never F'n ends - A cruel and horrible joke. I am in stunned disbelief

26.8 inhes WTF - I feel like I was kicked in the groin.
At 7PM there was 25.1 inches, there had to be more than 1.8 inches after 7PM just check the F'n radars from 7-9, there had to be at least 3 inches. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! It never F'n ends, I can't take it.

Newark 28.1
La Guardia 27.9
JFK 30.5
Central Park 26.8

The ultimate slap in the face CP. our avoid. I myself got close to 5" after 7 pm

.5 degrees, 81% 29.63 R. Finally looking at a snow covered landscape after 2 1/2 months of brown ground!

Poor CP, that Conservancy is driving him crazy on top of us underperforming in the big blizzard.Drink heavily today, my friend!

Nws shows 17 for me. Not right. Next town over 25. I measured 21. Wayne

Grselig, those "Trained Spotters" were all trained by the Zookeeper, disregard them and measure yourself.

At least 26 inches here. Just north of sunrise highway. Amazing. We walked through the village Massapequa park around 730 last night. Snowing sideways and buried

Cousins. It's a known fact that when it snows they all drink gallons of the cheapest Baileys they can find and use rulers that are from 72 also (1972) with other markings wiped away. If only they drank the homemade stuff with Jameson instead of the Shine.
