The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[EasternLI]

Snow intensity is ramping up. So is radar. Going to get pretty wild in several hours. Mod snow.

Disclaimer: still snowing after this.

Interesting, with no blocking.  Does this system slow down on its own?  Some said it could do a bit of a loop.

[Blizzardo]

It's starting to crank it up a notch!

Mt. Holly slightly lowered totals on the Western edge. Last map they had Philly in 18-24

18-24?! What is going on?

[brooklynwx99]

[SnoSki14]

Hey neighbor!

Carteret is the most NE town in middlesex county though, so usually go with Upton forecasts. I live literally 2 miles from Staten Island haha

Me too.
Staten Island forecasts verify more often, over the years, versus Mt. Holly, which seems to lump me in with the area south of me.
I'm actually a few hundred yards from the boundary of the two offices.

Got it, thank you. Appreciate you posting it!

Is there any other free sites people use for radar - specifically for tracking heavy banding? That accuweather radar UI is so crisp, love it 

Next best thing if you don't have premium.

You currently live in Carteret?  I was born and raised there. Now live in Old Bridge. 

Yes sir. Great town, lots of new business coming in the last few years. And have recently started construction for a ferry from Carteret to NYC

You can only imagine how intense this will be when the coastal starts bombing out, the upper support is hours away from phasing even now. 500 mb low is over WV, 700 mb central VA to w/c PA. I can't see any process by which this retracts the development south so it's virtually at the doorstep now. The usual rule seems to be that maximum snow bands are always a bit further north than models anticipate. All high end forecasts are probably in play here but I just wonder if it's going to zoom past eventually which will cut down on the most aggressive forecast totals. 

The contest consensus values are in the range of 19 to 23 inches like the NWS forecasts. A few are closer to the 25 to 30 inch range, and a few are more conservative in the 12 to 16 range.

I’m near you (Monroe) and it started sticking to my street about 10-15 minutes.  Things just feel the start of a blizzard. I have a good feeling about this.

Can't blame Mt. Holly honestly. Just how the counties are set up. Middlesex county is quite large and our towns are tucked in the very NE corner next to staten island. The other corner of Middlesex county borders Princeton!

Wind just ramped up 10 minutes ago on barnegat bay.  Dumping good now with heavy paste.

2/22 18z RGEM for trends fwiw

 

[weathermedic]

4pm Obs have winds gusting into the low 30s mph around the city

[Roger Smith]

@dseagull

I saw that location and wondered if you were on the barrier island or the mainland? You are going to see quite a storm unfold there.

I posted somewhere that a max snowfall depth of 30-36 inches could verify in central NJ, Freehold to Sayreville would be my guess as to where, possibly extending south towards Mt Holly. Winds likely to increase rapidly next three hours and peak around 8 pm to midnight.

[SACRUS]

So, as of 4 pm, we have 1/2" of new snow on the ground and the snow is just starting to accumulate on paved surfaces as temps are now down to 31F, so road conditions will start deteriorating quickly now.

Bayfront Waretown.  Looking forward to enjoying it.  First two days off in almost a month. Hope you get to enjoy as well.

Compare that to the latest nam. Is the nam east or west of that ? Or right on target?
