NY Post
New York City was brought to a standstill Monday as a monster bomb cyclone dumped double-digit snow totals throughout the area — with much more expected throughout the day.
The snow was still falling heavily through mid-morning, with more than 15 inches were reported in Central Park and more than 22 inches recorded in parts of Long Island, forecasters told The Post.
The flakes should begin to taper off around lunchtime and a big melt was expected later in the week, Accuweather senior meteorologist Carl Erickson said.
There “may be just some light snow showers and flurries for the rest of the afternoon,” he said, “But the winds are going to remain quite strong, so they’ll continue to be a factor from the storm heading through the rest of the day.”
A majority of the metropolitan area saw between 12 and 18 inches, but a high of 22.5 was reported in Islip, in Suffolk County, which caught the brunt of the heaviest snow with another inch or two still expected, Erickson said.
Monday’s totals already far exceeded last month’s major snowstorm, when over 11 inches were recorded in Central Park, he said.
