Across the Tri-State Area, locals and travelers woke up to a windy wintery mess this morning, with high winds and heavy flurries coating the Island with a sheet of white. While Long Island didn't get the worst of it in terms of snow, some areas definitely saw some pile up! In Nassau County, Levittown received over 2 inches of snow, and in Suffolk, Melville topped the list with 2 inches.
Nearby in Manhattan's Central Park, 1.3 inches of snowfall was recorded, in Queens totals of 2.2, and in the Bronx, they received totals of around 1.7 inches of snow. Due to last night's high winds, there are also large drifts, so some areas may appear to have higher snowfall than the recorded totals.
