Many parts of Long Island have been buried in over 2 feet of snow, according to the latest snowfall totals from the National Weather Service.
So far, Remsenburg-Speonk has recorded 27.5 inches, followed by 27.2 in North Patchogue and 27 in Central Islip. Quogue recorded 26 inches, and Shinnecock Hills hit 24.8.
So far, 22.5 inches were recorded at MacArthur Airport in Islip, a major reporting site. The all-time record there of 27.5 was set in 2013.
"That record is potentially in jeopardy,” said meteorologist James Tomasini. “A very strong nor’easter is passing just offshore. … We are kind of in the sweet spot for where heavy banding is setting up.”
The next snowfall update will be at 1 p.m., Tomasini said.
