The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[Wannabehippie]

  So far just sticking to colder surfaces by me in NJ. But the snowfall is also fairly light, so that makes sense. I expect that as snowfall rates pick up, it will start sticking to roads and sidewalks as well. Sanders/salters are already out pre-treating roads.

Plain old rain here in S Brooklyn with meltwater ponding. Hard to see anything sticking here until well after dark and it should cut own on high end totals.

It will stick when it comes down hard. Stop worrying. Im also from south Brooklyn.

All the models outputting huge totals accounted for trivial daytime accumulation. It's supposed to be raining right now

The snowstorm doesn't arrive until 4 pm. This is just an appetizer.

The Blizzard of 1888 started as rain I believe.

[BlizzLuv]

37F and light rain.

The RRFS which is set to replace NAM/ HRRR beefed up / its snow alogrithm is odd

 

QPF

 

 

Snow ratio undetermined

The weather was unseasonably mild just before the blizzard, with heavy rains that turned to snow as temperatures dropped rapidly.^[3] On March 12, New York City dropped from 33 °F (1 °C) to 8 °F (−13 °C), and rain changed to snow at 1 A.M

Last WPC update QPF for this storm

Just switched to snow at ewr as we drive north.

I took some people at work Friday a little after 9 PM that I was gone for 18 inches in the general area. May be more towards the coast.   We'll see. I still think we won't know exactly what's happening until we're in the middle of it.

FWIW, gfs came way east like the Euro and cut totals big time. Barely a foot for NYC with the big bands missing the area.

Lets follow the mesos and see what happens.

So like the gfs to shit the bed after leading the way for a week. It couldn't handle the pressure 

[LoboLeader1]

Light precip mix now over to snow.
