Snow starting to really go away here in Westchester. The big park in my town that had 5+ inches on saturday is almost completely clear now. My street and the street behind me still are mostly covered with snow.

Family in New Rochelle by the water said just piles around now.
Bridgeport at the water still had snow cover. Much more in Bridgeport away from the coast and I-95 areas still with half foot left like me.
This is so rare to experience.
FYI..... Bridgeport broke the number of days with lying snow on ground for March. 16 days with 1"+ including today. Beats 15 days in 2005. So many records and rareities
What about the 250-plus years between the arrival of the Puritans and the launch of modern snow-data collection in Boston in 1891? According to Weather Underground historian Christopher Burt, very few sites across New England maintained regular monthly and seasonal snowfall data prior to 1891. According to Burt: ”Cotton Mather noted that 36” - 42” of snow on level buried Boston between February 27 and March 9, 1717, as related in one of the first publications of the Massachusetts Historical Society. But there is no record of how much snow may have accumulated in the city over the course of that season. The same goes for all the winter seasons in Boston until we have the modern record. Bottom line: although we don’t know how much snow may have fallen each season prior to 1891-82, there is no positive or even anecdotal historical evidence to indicate that this season is not likely the snowiest on record since the founding of the city and, of course, in the modern record.”

New Rochelle's very close to me, I'm only a few miles north of it.
It might be too early to tell where you're at, but have you noticed a significant difference between different streets/neighborhoods and snowcover? I was running last night and one particular area I passed by still had at least 5 or 6 inches. A couple streets over the ground was maybe half covered.
While Boston broke records, so did Atlantic Canada to the northeast.
The city's official total snowfall on Sunday of 47.6 cm (18.7") sent the city’s snow total for the winter to 463 cm (182”), almost twice the total observed in Boston. Charlottetown’s previous seasonal record, 451.3 cm (177.7”), had been set just last winter. In the province of New Brunswick, Saint John climbed to a seasonal total of 431 cm (170”) on Sunday, beating the record of 424 cm (167”) set in 1962–63. Yet another storm will paste the Canadian Maritimes on Wednesday, bringing as much as 20 cm (8”) of additional snow to Charlottetown.
Totals make Boston's look wimpy. I'm guessing the difference was in early winter, where storms that brought rain to Boston brought snow to the Canadian Maritimes.
