NWS: Long Island areas saw as high as 5 inches of snow

[Editor’s note: The story was updated at 5:16 p.m. with new information from the National Weather Service.]

The numbers are in for Long Island’s first meaningful snowfall of the year.

The National Weather Service has released its inch-count totals from across Long Island from Monday night’s snowstorm that covered the region in wet snow, though a warmer Tuesday helped wash a little away.

Commack, Smithtown and Centereach saw the highest count in Suffolk County, while Glen Cove took the crown in Nassau County.

Commack, Smithtown and Centereach all saw 5 inches of snow. Glen Cove, 5.1 inches.

The National Weather Service uses a combination of their own readings, affiliate weather observers, trained spotters, and verified reports from the public. See their full list below.
