纽约市的居民原本希望醒来后看到堆积如山的积雪,但现在只能满足于浏览来自新英格兰地区的Instagram照片。2015年的暴风雪——或者更确切地说,如果我们说对了,应该是#blizzardof2015——给纽约市及其南部地区带来的降雪量低于预期。但在长岛以东和整个新英格兰地区以北,这场风暴已经达到甚至在某些方面超过了预期,带来了大雪和沿海洪水。

降雪总量仍在更新,但截至周二上午,美国国家气象局的一名天气观察员报告了迄今为止风暴的最大降雪量,马萨诸塞州弗雷明翰为30英寸。马萨诸塞州中部和其他南岸地区也堆积了超过2英尺的积雪。

第二高的降雪总量来自长岛最东端的纽约州奥连特,测量值为28.5英寸。在这两个地方,阵风都在堆积雪堆,并将积雪吹过房屋的屋檐。
