New York City, NY – Snowfall totals from a weekend winter storm were finalized Monday, showing widespread accumulations across New York City and Long Island, with some areas recording their snowiest day in nearly three years.
According to the National Weather Service in New York, snowfall from Saturday night through early Monday morning ranged from about 4 inches across parts of the five boroughs to between 7 and 9 inches in portions of Long Island. The heaviest totals were reported across southern and central Long Island, where several communities exceeded 8 inches.
Forecasters said Sunday marked Islip’s snowiest day since January 29, 2022. The storm also made history at Central Park, where it became the earliest 2-inch snowfall on record, surpassing the previous benchmark set in 2018. Daily snowfall records were additionally broken at both Islip’s Long Island MacArthur Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Across New York City, totals generally ranged from 4 to 6 inches, with slightly higher amounts toward southeastern Queens and Brooklyn. Northern suburbs, including parts of Westchester and Rockland counties, saw lower totals, mostly between 3 and 5 inches.
The snow caused slick roads and slowed travel across the region late Sunday into early Monday, though conditions improved as crews cleared major roadways. No major power outages were reported in connection with the storm.
Meteorologists credited the higher totals on Long Island to a narrow band of heavier snowfall that persisted for several hours overnight Sunday, allowing accumulations to build rapidly.
The National Weather Service thanked trained spotters and local observers for providing snowfall reports, which help refine storm analysis and improve future forecasts.
Residents are reminded to stay updated on changing winter conditions as the season progresses, particularly during overnight and early-morning travel periods.
