Here's how much it snowed in various places all around New York State this winter
May starts this week, so that probably means we're finished with snow for the season. Though April apparently decided to get a few more flakes in before exiting.
So to bid a final farewell to this past winter, here's a clickable map of snow totals from around New York State for the season. Some of them are bonkers.
By the way: Wednesday and Thursday this week both have forecasted highs in the 80s.
Info source
These snow totals were published by the National Weather Service Eastern Region HQ on its Facebook page (and Twitter) April 27. So it's very possible that a few spots have added to their totals since then.

A few quick things
+ Albany got 77 inches of snow, which is a bit snowier than a typical winter.
+ Many of the highest totals were the places you'd expect: the areas just to the east of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. #lakeeffect
+ Some of the spots in these regions get bonkers-level snowfalls during the winter. Redfield, New York -- on the Tug Hill Plateau in Oswego County -- clocked in at not-quite 388 inches of snow. (That's roughly 32 feet.) It got 350 inches the winter before.
