All Activity

Wouldn't be surprised to see the models go father south with the storm the next couple of days and then come back north a couple of days later.

A little disappointed with this storm but at least it looks nice outside.

Heaviest snow since it started around 5. 29.4

For Sunday, 3.1" Sparta NJ 8:40 PM, snow has ended and skies are rapidly clearing. Two day total 7.1" with 7" still on the ground. Considering the back and forth with this event, I wasn't expecting even half of the totals I got. I can't speak for everyone on the board, but no complaints from here on this weekend.

Lord have mercy

Yup. Wet roads from earlier and the snow melt from the first burst is now all ice. Kids would be getting late opening or more tomorrow if it wasn’t already a holiday.

Finished with 2” out of this nights burst; 6” for the two day total. Like all have commented, dead calm and peaceful with snow clinging everywhere.

around 5 inches for the weekend, still snowing

A very enjoyable snowfall. About two inches here.

Haha. Definitely a bias or algorithm issue there!

1.8 final. 3.3 for the day. 6 even 2 day total Measured 4.5 to 5 around the yard so didn't lose too much to melting/compacting

Somewhere between 0.5 and 0.75" in Easton

Maybe, but show me model output from the end of last week that had 5 -10" area-wide (west of the river anyway)? We may have underperformed in South Jersey, but I don't think we did over here. Regardless, woo hoo!!!

Nice!

Carver and others, The WxBell Euro AIFS ens snow maps have a flaw so major that the 12Z run (just for one example) had one member (#38) 300 miles offshore in the Gulf getting a foot of snow within a 6 hour period while the temp was 65F+! You read that right, a 2”/hour snowstorm with temps in the 60s. These maps are so flawed than even Joe Bastardi, himself, noticed the same problem a few weeks ago! If even Joe noted this, well….use these at your own risk. The regular EPS snow maps are otoh legit:

Classic Flash Freeze. Road & Air temps just above freezing. Get either light rain or snow, enough to get everything wet. Then clear skies post frontal turns everything to ice.

20.4/9.8 at 8:45 pm with NW 11 gusting 18 mph breeze. Chilly. WC feels like 8 to 5 degrees with those combos.

HRRR is another 3-5 here. We’ll see

Around 1.75" so far today

Just a note in Eastern Hoco. Roads were a disaster this evening. My youngest should have had ice skates on the car instead of wheels. Accidents everywhere. Shows that this town with only .4 of snow is a cluster fuck. Untreated roads though so….

That’s combined

Congrats!

Issued: 4:39 PM Jan. 18, 2026 – Environment and Climate Change Canada Snow squalls beginning overnight. Blizzard Monday afternoon and evening. What: Blizzard conditions with near zero visibility. Westerly winds gusting 70 to 90 km/h. Wind chills between minus 20 and minus 25. Snowfall accumulations of 20 to 40 cm. Locally higher amounts possible. When: Snow squalls beginning overnight. Blizzard conditions Monday afternoon through Monday evening. Heaviest snowfall amounts expected Monday night into Tuesday. Additional information: Lake effect snow squalls will begin overnight. Strong westerly winds will develop Monday afternoon, producing blizzard conditions in blowing snow. Winds and blowing snow will diminish Monday evening, however, snow squalls will continue into Tuesday. ### Travel will be dangerous and likely impossible due to near-zero visibility. Road closures are possible. Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to [email protected] or post reports on X using #ONStorm. For more information about the alerting program, please visit: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/envi This will mainly be for the northern Bruce peninsula i.e. Blizz. This is a terribly constructed 'Orange' warning for a blizzard; it doesn't specify that the heaviest snow is in the far north spots. In contrast, southern Bruce county is set to receive 5cm aft and eve (TWN). It doesn't label it as a 'lake effect blizzard' which this is (I'm doubtful I'll meet the criteria). It contradicts itself with the timing stating it will go on in the evening in one section then stating blowing snow will diminish Mon eve!

There are arguments for both sides. If the storm is a little quicker and can outrun the High should get it north. Per the latest EURO the storm develops around hour 120. What is crazy is how the storm looks at hour 144, the temp here is 5 degree. Can you recall getting snow at that temp. I cannot. Coldest I can remember is snowing in teens.
