The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

Anyone figure what the drifts would be if the higher end totals verify?

Light snow here in Nanuet, pockets of moderate snow driving home. Grass and colder pavement getting a dusting.

It'll be there but the caveat is an inverted trough will be in place which could enhance totals on the western flank and lead to much less sharper cutoffs than we'd normally see. 

In addition I expect the strongest banding to be NW of where models have them as is almost always thr case. 

It’s an interesting forecast where I am near the Delaware River with only the short term Mesos calling for big snows here (12-18”) whereas the globals and some mesos are calling for 8-12”.  The IVT will be the key out here for me and other NW areas.  The cutoff will be right through my general area I believe.

Precip mix has now changed over to all snow here.

Rain in Brooklyn. This will impact snow totals if rain keeps up

That was always forecast though. I dont think the forecasts were relying on much acclumation during the day today, especially in the morning.

In the bx I started as drizzle to now steady snow but basically white rain for now. I expected rain or white rain for a while today.

Wow, I just looked at my latest warning and saw it was 18-25 too!!

I haven’t forgot to respond; just tied up the past 24 hrs. I hope you are ready to enjoy this. 

I’m keying in on that out max weenie band that’s been modeled over the highlands area. If we can get under that for a period, we will tickle high numbers. 

I think this storm will have a few surprises; some of the 700 fronto maps have been epic.

Snowing in Chester; 33/30 at the moment.

Had been rain/snow mix in Queens. But now mostly snow. Not sticking but coming down at a good clip.

Light snow began in Smithtown at 7:50am.  34/31

not sure that can be figured out. but I could see 10-15 footers again like I did in 96

Calm down. I am aware accumulations and heavy snow doesnt start till later , just stating the rain is pretty serious right now and the ground will be wet and puddles are forming. Won't be easy for the snow to necessarily pile.up with ease. 

For whats its worth, temps look slightly lower that forecast at this time.  LGA is 34 instead of upper 30s. If we hold nearly steady today then drop a few tonight we'd be ahead of the game

[Northof78]

Drizzle/light rain for now

Highly dependent on location.  If you're on the downwind shore of a large frozen lake, you might get buried in a drift...or not depending on what is upwind of the lake.

There will be several foot deep drifts in spots on top of the Kings Park bluffs, but that's relatively common.

A slight tweak is that the winds might be more northerly than northeast.

Moderate snow in Westchester. 34F

 

Go USA Hockey!!!

From nws

 

A potentially historic winter storm will impact the Tri-State
area today into Monday. This is a dangerous situation with
blizzard conditions expected to develop tonight

Lots of respect for you and @BxEngine! You both make it hard to stay away for long. 
 

I have been on the sidelines for way too long. I’m fine with or without a obs thread

It’s great to see that winter finally put in a cameo appearance this year compared to what we have been getting recently.

Snowing now at lga and cpk. There shouldn't be much accumulation during the day as this snow is from inverted. Light snow and temps around 32 during the day will limit accumulations. Real show starts after 7pm tonight

One eye out my window the other on my TV as the Hockey Gold Medal game begins now LIVE ----USA USA USA

[NsWx516]
