New York City Posts Snow Record as 63.7 Inches Fall

Just 2 inches of snow Saturday put the winter of 1995-96 into the record books as New York City’s whitest winter ever, the National Weather Service said.

The 13th snowfall this winter broke the record for total accumulation: 63.2 inches, set in 1946-47. Before Saturday, 61.7 inches of snow had already fallen this winter in the city. Weather Service forecaster George McKillop predicted more snow in March. “The season’s not quite over yet. We can still see another punch of cold air come down here, and we could easily squeak out another snowstorm.”
