The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[Blizzardo]

Here comes Lee Goldberg updates!

[nycsnow]

Canadian running, hopefully it trends tucked 

[RCNYILWX]

Such textbook synoptics. The NAM and GFS progs are extreme, upper echelon - but think of it this way, 75% of that sort of outcome is still a crusher. Def wish my work schedule lined up in a way that I could have flown out to experience it. January 96 was a seminal event on my path towards becoming a NWS met.

Ironically enough, during 2006 I was up skiing at Whiteface where we just had cirrus up there. And then in 2016 I had already been in the Chicago area for 5.5 years. Did get to experience the Feb 2010 craziness after missing the early month 'snowmageddon' and happened to be back in NYC during Nemo in 2013.

Here's to an all timer for the area.

I’ll have to look but anyone have good analogs to this setup-maybe Feb 1978 (seriously)? 

None of these really fit.  Many of those events surprisingly did jackpot areas just inland a bit but the systems were not this deep.

LOL at Lee Goldberg calling for 8 - 12 inches.

[David-LI]

ABC 7 Lee Goldberg increased totals. 8-12 city, 10-15 east

[JonClaw]

What a beauty.

[nycwinter]

lee has the city in the 8-12 inch range now why i feel these weather tv mets are still playing catchup..

Canadian running, hopefully it trends tucked 

It follows the rgem so expect it to look pretty similar to that

What do you expect him to forecast at this lead time?  I think it's fair. He should mention there's a chance of a lot more.

CMC 6Z Monday

[MJO812]

Gefs is more NW. Jeez.

I think it’s wise for the TV Mets to not begin throwing out 12-18+ just yet

[Snowpsycho]

If weather had an OnlyFans page the GFS and NAM would be doing the dirty.

I think this has top 5 potential in NYC barring a sudden right hand turn.

From about Boston all of Long Island and new jersey and parts of CT, gfs says 1-3 feet easily

[Nibor]

Yeah, I’d save the 18-24” stuff for tomorrow. Highlight the chances for more especially on LI and coastal NJ. Still time for shifts.

Yeah this is much better than 12z on the canadian
