January 26th Final Storm Totals and Year to Date totals only if you have them

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

Highland Mills Orange County NY, 50 miles North of Central Park

16.3 inches final total, 42.6 inches now for the season.

Most notably it never went above 9° through the event, yet snow ratios were not exceptional. There was never a change to sleet here but temperatures were warm enough in the mid levels to mute snow growth and not get the 15:1 to 20:1 ratios some might expect at these temperatures. The closest station to me showed 1.31 inches of liquid for the event which would be a little over a 12:1 ratio. Not terrible but not what you would expect from an entire day of snowfall at single digit readings.

I am going with 11.4" based on nearby reports, tough to measure exactly with lots of sleet/compaction, etc. but 11.4" for Millburn, SW Essex, and that leaves me at 29.5" on the season (basically normal for an entire season)

15 here, 35.5 on the season

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

As of Midnight last night.

NYC - Central Park 11.4 inches - Seems about right for a change.
Newark Airport 11.5 inches
LGA 9.7 inches - Seems supect. Low compared to all surrounding reports
Islip 12.9 inches
Bridgeport 15.1 inches
JFK 10.3 inches

I don’t have a dedicated snowboard spot where I live for consistent measurements like the official airport OBS and COOP sites. I took 50 measurements in a nearby open baseball dirt field and hour ago away from any obstructions which averaged at 9”. The field had completely lost any snowpack from the last event. Closer to the fence line the average was 10-12” with a maximum peak of 15” right behind the long fence. In closer to the houses here my average is also 10-12”. So I can understand the variability in the official NWS OBS from urban to rural locations and between the public, CO-OP, and other readings. Prior to this weekend I measured 13” from the collection of smaller events with marginal temperatures at times.

oops I saw the other thread first my bad,,,,,,but here = New City, NY, recorded some of the highest snowfall in the region from the winter storm on January 25-26, 2026, with totals reaching 17.6 inches. This was the top, or near-top, total for New York State, following intense, fast-moving snow that created dangerous travel conditions throughout the Hudson Valley.

Looks like many in the area are now near their total seasonal average save immediate NYC.

Roughly a foot.  I gave up measuring after the sleet become intense.  That itself was 2 inches.

This was extremely evident in how heavy the snow was to shovel despite expecting the light fluffy stuff you would expect from these temps.

1.90”-wow. The snow banks resemble an 18” storm because of all the water content.

Yes.  The SWE from this one might be high percentile for local snowstorms.  Took me and my son about 3 hours to shovel the driveway.

I'm going to have to check, but I'm not sure if I've ever had more than 10:1 (if that) in a 10" or greater snowfall.  It might be a consequence of being surrounded by water, and sometimes the wind.
