A winter storm that pummeled New York City for two days broke a monthly record for snowfall in Central Park that stood for 114 years, according to the National Weather Service.
Manhattan’s Central Park had received 36.9 inches as of 5 p.m. Friday, the most ever for a single month, the Weather Service said. The previous record for February was 27.9 inches in 1934, and the mark for a single month was 30.5 inches in March 1896.
The storm Friday also made February the snowiest month ever for New Brunswick, N.J., which has gotten 37 inches so far. This had already been the snowiest winter for Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N.J., before the latest storm dropped another 4 to 5 inches by midmorning Friday. Bloomberg News, The Associated Press
