Search snowfall totals in NY. See earliest, latest ‘last snow’ dates

New York has seen several waves of winter weather this season, from fast-moving clipper systems to Arctic air intrusions that have brought bitter cold and snow to the state.

Lake-effect snow by Lake Erie has added localized heavy accumulations, particularly along the western and eastern shores.

These storms have varied widely in their impact: quick clipper systems often deliver a few inches of snow with gusty winds, while Arctic air masses can linger, allowing snow to pile up over several days. Lake-effect bands, meanwhile, can dump foot-plus totals in concentrated areas, making snow totals highly uneven across the state.
