The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

Successfully napped off the migraine. There's easily another 3-4" on the roofs of the cars in the yard. Big 2' drift in between them. Peak gust of 52 mph. 

Still have yet to see a crusher of a band on top of me. Think the only thing saving the snow total are the higher ratios. This new stuff I can't pack into a snowball. I'd guess 15:1?

Nyc would hit 30 inches if the consolidation zone/battle sets up over the metro. That would be epic. Next couple of hours after the lull might be pure winter insanity.

HRRR has another 15 inches for NYC. Just intense banding all night.

This snowstorm falls during an interval of relatively weak daily snowfall records and 2-day snowfall totals.

You may have read earlier that the Feb 22nd record of 6.0" (2008) at NYC was broken (8.8").

Today's record is even weaker, 4.8" fell on Feb 23, 1972. That seems likely to go as well.

The record 2d snowfall for Feb 22-23 is already broken too, that was the 6.0" value from 2008 but also 5.8" fell in 2001 (5.5" 22nd + 0.3" 23rd). 

The record for Feb 24 was also a low one, 6.0" fell in 1907.

Following the snowfall in 1972, record high temperatures were set on March 1 and 2. (73F, 72F) ... the remainder of March then turned quite cold and it remained chilly in April, fairly warm in May, and near-record cool in June when Hurricane Agnes did its inland loop. I recall that later into spring 2008 there was a succession of heavy snowfalls into northern New England and eastern Canada.

What a disappointment here in North shore (Western) Nassau. When I say disappointment, I mean based on expectations for this particular storm. That said, very happy with this snow

A literal wall of snow bearing down on you and this is your takeaway lol

As of 3:00 am, we have 12.5" in Metuchen, so 1.7" the last 2 hours and that 12.5" is a guess. the area my board was in has drifted over, so I can't use that. In the past when this happens I try to take a bunch of measurements and average them, away from obvious drifts and scoured out areas, but it's tough. In the morning before the snow is over I'll take a ride (or walk, it's close) over to a local field and check there. Down to 29F. Also did my 3rd shovel of the storm - I do that every time we get to about 4" as that's a good number for me to shovel without crazy effort.
