紐約市的居民原本希望醒來後看到堆積如山的積雪,但現在只能滿足於瀏覽來自新英格蘭地區的Instagram照片。2015年的暴風雪——或者更確切地說,如果我們說對了,應該是#blizzardof2015——給紐約市及其南部地區帶來的降雪量低於預期。但在長島以東和整個新英格蘭地區以北,這場風暴已經達到甚至在某些方面超過了預期,帶來了大雪和沿海洪水。

降雪總量仍在更新,但截至週二上午,美國國家氣象局的一名天氣觀察員報告了迄今為止風暴的最大降雪量,馬薩諸塞州弗雷明翰為30英寸。馬薩諸塞州中部和其他南岸地區也堆積了超過2英尺的積雪。

第二高的降雪總量來自長島最東端的紐約州奧連特,測量值為28.5英寸。在這兩個地方,陣風都在堆積雪堆,並將積雪吹過房屋的屋簷。
