The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[Blizzardo]

96 southern stream came out of the gulf and I thought it pulled in the western and northern streams if I am using the right terms... Could be wrong but regardless.... this is an equal powerhouse...

Appreciate that.  Rare beasts.  2001 was sort of, but not in the classical sense.  Very rare and lets see the verification.  Players on the field.

You don’t need a triple phaser to get low 960’s though.  Boxing Day and Jan 2018 did it with no triple phase.  Feb 1978 was probably the best wind snow storm in the last 100 years and it was only around 980 with a 1040 high nearby giving it a huge gradient.  1996 also had an impressive high nearby and a tight gradient.  With this one looks like a 1050 high but it’s further afield in central Canada.

Can start to see the semblance of a weenie band setting up from West Point southwest to West Milford down to my area near Long Valley.

For us northern folks, that outer max band always brings the goods; hope I end up under it. 

Last night I thought I would be happy with 12”.  Now I want 18” or bust.

Mesos will have more weight than globals soon. This is a very extreme storm. A sub 970 storm south of LI is no joke

I’m no expert!  Thought it was overrunning than transfer with a normal phase.  Storm never got sub 980 but had very solid winds due to the close in arctic high creating a tight gradient.

If this tucks in winds should be higher than 1996 but doubt we get as high or sustained as 1978.

Totally agree.  Its a nice to have, not a need to have.  For this one, it could be the stick of dynamite that gets us to 960s.

Someone in your region will get 24-36” depending where the h7 band ends up. Really jealous. Should get like 6-10” here in Philly, but your region is primed imo.

I think you hit 12"

What are you thinking for us neighbor? All in or still cautious? 

My forecast as of now for my location is 10-15”.  Trying to stay reasonable.  Banding and extent of NW push will tell the tale.

Contextually concerning when you look at Sandy being 940.

I’m bumping mine to 8-14 for MMU

If the Nam verifies we're all getting a blizzard and there will be major coastal flooding. Strong winds well inland

I just checked my Accuweather app..

They have 3-6 most likely for here 75%. They actually have a higher probability of 1-3, over 6-10?

Checking automated app was your first issue

GFS was slightly delayed going negative tilt but it's still mostly in line with the 6z run.

[SACRUS]

GFS 984 off DelMarVa

[Brian5671]

imagine the meltdowns if the 6z Euro verified...

[cleetussnow]

Phase, but a little later than the nam.  Timing of capture matters for western interests.  Resolution isn’t going to lock the timing within 6 hrs so its just a wobble.  967 bomb

What are you thinking?

Guessing a foot here? Obviously a lot of upside potential; seen a lot of storms like this over the years that creep north and west (great name, btw) and blow up over us, like 2016 and 2021. I’ll stay conservative and say a foot for now.

East of the nam is what I think he means.

People need to save the PBP for folks that know what they are doing, thanks.

That's where the mesos come in. Globals can miss these slight variations
