The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[cardinalland]

i think 10-15 for the city with up to 20 down by the jersey shore and on LI, with overall ratios close to 10:1 or a little lower. could be wrong. enjoy the show i’m watching from afar.

a foot on the ground in NYC is a great storm, and to be honest any more than that is just crippling and over burdensome

yes it is. especially when that is the expectation....

[Winterweatherlover]

Anyone seeing rain now is in the best spot for this storm lol 

[cardinalland]

looking forward to seeing some sick drift photos

The areas you’re talking about are under blizzard warnings for 18-25”. So… if the latest models of 6-10 were to pan out; that would be quite the bust for those areas. I have said that I thought those numbers were insanely high and don’t account for the possible shifts we’re seeing, but I’m also not the NWS so we’ll see

No one I95 or south and east is seeing less than 10 inches.

Its true

Mesos can pinpoint banding and small details this close unlike the globals.

If every global goes east with the track you can't just ignore it.  They're seeing something

I’m talking about areas further north and west that are under 18-25” warnings. Said nothing about south and east if 95 lol

 

33 - light snow

People here really live and die by model outputs lol

[JonClaw]

Seeing this, I'm not concerned yet.

[EastonSN+]

The models with the huge totals had the low further north than the others.

[Mo Snow]

Anyone have recommendations for radar sites to use to track the storm?

“Historic” was the kiss of death. However, It would have been a lot more painful if this was the only opportunity for snow this winter. Mother Nature is one fickle “bleep”. 

The main part of the storm hasn’t even happened yet..jeeze people become so negative!! This will be historic for someone

[kat5hurricane]

It has begun, snow has commenced. Don't really care about the models now, just going to watch this unfold.

But the globals are still better with surface and upper-level low location even at this range.

For sensible weather impacts to the public if areas get 8-12” vs 15-20” it won’t matter to most, it will have similar impact, especially with most of this falling at night. I’m on north shore of Nassau on Long Island and schools are already cancelled for tomorrow. Would be the case if 8” or 18” fall. The high or low busts will determine if Tuesday school is cancelled. Will be a nice storm for most. Would just enjoy.

10 inches is not a big snowstorm, not in the northeast. its fine, but not what was advertised. it's like the idiots who bought cheap tickets to see the red hot chili pipers thinking it was the red hot chili peppers....they got a great show but it wasn't the real thing, or even the same music....the pipers do have an awesome bagpipe show....

[Astoriaweather]

Light snow in Astoria Queens.  It's starting to stick to tree branches and parked vehicles. Pleasantly surprised.  I was prepared for only white rain till later this afternoon.

What is "painful"? This is a 12-18" storm areawide, some of you need to gain some perspective.

[KrummWx]

Still snowing in Manhattan. Surprised to hear JFK is still rain. I am from NC and up here this week for business, but Ive been tracking this storm since it showed up. I still think, and always have, that 12-18" is most realistic for Manhattan. Hoping for more so I dont have to actually commute to the office this week but it's still gonna be a good time tonight. I'm super excited.

We're getting a storm...  

I don't care about senses of loss whether it's historic or even just pedestrian.  It's likely to be somewhere in between.    

It's funny, there are two competing concepts ( synoptic ) that are both true.  The -PNA never really correlate(d)(s) with this.  But, there was a relative +d(PNA) which contains this system.    Both the standard EOFs and the rotated PCAs at CPC versions, show this latter nested anomaly.  It can get the deed done.

It seems these very recent global version are wavering toward the former, more non-linear/transitive forcing.   Why that is trying to usurp now just 18 hours before go - that's maybe just the state of the technology. 

From NE forum.
