A single-month record was recently set in February 2013 when 35.8 inches touched the ground, beating out January 2011’s 35.7 inches by a hair. ’97-’98 saw the least snow ever on the Island with a total of only 4.5 inches two years earlier, however, Long Island had its most snow-laden winter with 90.75 inches. Release: Thu,, 11:00 AM EDT Daily snow observations from GHCN stations are available using the pulldown menus below to select the state, month, and year of interest for either snowfall or snow depth data. It was more than two decades before that number dropped back into the single digits, but since 1995 there have been five winters on record under the 10” mark. Here are the unofficial Long Island snowfall totals reported by the National Weather. Since Brookhaven National Labs first started recording yearly snow accumulation in the late 1940s, the first time the Island saw fewer than 10 inches of snow was in the winter of ‘72-’73. Posted Sat, at 10:35 am ET Updated Tue, at 11:43 am ET. Another 25 percent of years receive less than half an inch for the month. For decades the Island has seen fluctuations in total snowfall vary greatly from one year to the next-where several feet might drop one winter there could only be several inches the next. In December, for instance, one in four years totals 6.7 inches or more of snow.
It is often said that no two snowflakes are alike, and just like the individual bits of frozen water that fall from the sky during the colder months, no two winters on Long Island are identical.
