Interior NW & NE Burbs 2026

[gravitylover]

Total fluff at 5° but the flakes are tiny now as opposed to the frisbees I had for a while. 4" down so I'm at least an inch ahead of what I expected at noon, so that's nice. 

[IrishRob17]

Heavy snow and the temp is still dropping ever so slightly, 6° now

[Juliancolton]

A couple inches of arctic dust at 6F, I'd call it mod snow at the moment

[BxEngine]

5 hrs from AC to rockland. Weird seeing legitimate heavy snow with such tiny flakes. 

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

6.5 inches as of noon.
6° and snow continues. Still waiting for those 2 to 3 in./h bands. Hope they show up this afternoon.

Mesoscale Discussion 0058 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1055 AM CST Sun Jan 25 2026 Areas affected...northern Pennsylvania...southern New York...northern New Jersey...Connecticut...Rhode Island...and southern Massachusetts. Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 251655Z - 252100Z SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall is expected through the afternoon with rates up to 2 inches per hour. DISCUSSION...Widespread heavy snow is already ongoing across Pennsylvania and New Jersey this morning. This heavy snow will shift northeast through the afternoon. In addition, very heavy rates are expected to develop across far southeast New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. In this region, very strong 700mb frontogenesis is forecast between 18Z and 21Z amid strong isentropic ascent. In addition, amid strong warm-air advection, the transition zone from snow to sleet is moving rapidly north across eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey (as sampled by KDOX Correlation Coefficient). Expect this transition zone to continue to advect north during the early afternoon before stalling nea

It says the CT shoreline. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0058.html

I'll be sniffing the taint  Heh. If it stays below or at the 287/Merritt Pkwy it'll be perfect and I'll end up in a def band

Approaching 8”. With another 10-12 hours of solid snows I might have a mini repeat of 3/14/17. Ratios are still incredible.

Stay away sleet! Stay far away!!

9.2 inches as of 1:30 so 2.7 inches in the last hour and half. 
Best rates of the day right now. 5.4° with heavy snow.

Oops sorry 

Expect this transition zone to continue to advect north during the early afternoon before stalling near the Connecticut shore by mid-afternoon.

[Juliancolton]

Only now at 5" up here. It's a dry but dense snow, so hopefully snow growth improves a bit with some further moistening of the mid levels

Measured 10.8" here at 2:15p

Just about 8” in Poughkeepsie.  Finally getting better flake size after about 2 hours of arctic sand

Yeah, the snow earlier this morning was fluffier, what I was clearing this afternoon had some more weight to it. 

[gravitylover]

I got 6" from 12:20-2:30 and that was on top of the morning 6". Driveway piles range from mid-chest to head high already. The wind blew my board nearly clean

Doesn't it figure, the only neighbor with a snowblower didn't come out until after I finished shoveling the plow pile 

[crossbowftw3]

Closing quickly on 1’. 4 inches in the past 3 hours.

[BxEngine]

Went from 8” to well over 10” from 1 pm thru about 2:45 ish.
