Wow, that's some snowpack building up! How long do you think it will last?
Snowpack is over 4 feet in Maine. I cannot imagine the landscape scenes with that snowpack. The tops of my mailboxes are 3.5 feet!
Current Snowpack
Northern CT 16"
My backyard 12"
Providence Rhode Island 13"
Burlington Vermont is 8"
With all that said.. I had 12" of snow disappear in a couple of days with torching heat and rain.. Ask the suburbs of Buffalo how long 4-7 feet of snow took to go away.
But, no heat or warm up in sight till end of February. So this snowpack will remain a long time north of NYC
It's the "piles" that remain to April and May, not the snowpack. At least for south of MA. Maine might have a snowpack till mid/end of May at this pace.

How long did it take?

In the hills (not that high, just 1000 feet), I've seen snow remain till April. I found a dirt road blocked by snow mid-April (in 2011).
A week or so. Remember the flooding? Hit 60°F and rains. Without heat or rain who knows how long it would of lasted.

Cool, yeah I figured MA would be the border. Kinda figured MA seen a snowpack in April.
But I should mention, theres been snowfalls in April even down here so I guess I'm talking about a long lasting snowpack rather than snowpack from a snowfall in March/April/May
Looked at the latest qpf output for here and its pretty much a non event except for travel issues "at times". But once you go north there's some pretty good moisture around through lunch Tuesday.
Here's the future radar loop. Notice the snows are on and off then the big blob of it happens for many hours..
