NYC Blizzard Winding Down

The YouTube video below pretty well sums up what most of NYC looks like this morning, after 24 hours of snow, including blizzard conditions at times:


The snowfall totals have been impressive, with as many as 26 inches reported at Tuxedo Park, NY (in Orange County).  In NYC itself, as many as 22 inches have been reported in the Bronx, while 13 inches and 10 inches fell at Central Park and JFK airport, respectively. 

Below is a map from the NWS Snow Analysis Center, depicting satellite estimated snow depths across the region as of 7am EST this morning:



Compare the observed snow depth to the forecast snowfall amounts that I posted from the computer model yesterday morning, and you can see that the model didn't do a bad job estimating the snowfall potential of this storm system (please note the scale is much more precise on the computer model vs. the snow depth image):



Below is the full list of reports as provided by the NWS in NYC (including parts of Connecticut, New Jersey & New York states).  Please note many of the reports were only through Midnight or 1am this morning, and snow was still falling at that time so the final, total amounts will likely be higher in some areas.  For purposes of brevity, only amounts of 10 inches or more are included:
