Snowfall estimates of 6-8 inches look to have been on target. Levittown, Mattituck and Plainview have each recorded 7 inches of snow–tops on the island–according to unofficial NWS reports. See all reported Long Island snowfall totals here.

Schools across the island were closed on Thursday and two townships–Riverhead and Islip–declared winter storm emergencies.

At LaGuardia Airport, a plane skidded off a runway and into a fence while attempting to land Thursday morning. The plane’s nose came to rest just feet from an icy Flushing Bay. Only minor injuries were reported.

Once the snow stops, a frigid Thursday night is on tap with temperatures falling to around 12 degrees. Wind chill temperatures may fall to as low as zero late Thursday night into Friday morning.

Friday will be sunny with a high near 23 degrees.
