"Even before the storm started walloping the region overnight, the National Weather Service had estimated that more than 37 inches of snow — almost double the winter average — had fallen in Central Park this winter. The overnight storms broke January snowfall records for Central Park, Newark, LaGuardia Airport, Bridgeport and Islip, the Weather Service said Thursday morning." (via the NYT)
15 inches, officially, in Central Park for this storm.
We had loads of snow in the UK in late November/ early December and since Christmas it's been okay so I'm hoping that we *won't* have a repeat of last February. I like snow but, like you, I'd hate to have so much of it. There comes a time when the infrastructure can't cope no matter how much planning they do.
My GF thought it was some abstract painting, until I pointed out it was actually snow. ;) Eeesh, this is why I live in TX. We don't do that snow thing down here!
