The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[mikem81]

I measured 13-15 inches here in western Nassau around Garden City. Not sure if it’s too low since it’s been so windy but it could be we didnt get the best banding over night. Had 5 inches at 830pm so find it hard to believe it only snowed 8-9 last 12 hours 

[Astoriaweather]

Think it’s now dumping at about 2 inches per hour in northwest Queens

Any reports out of Monmouth county? Red bank, Neptune, asbury?

Hard to measure in AP - we have anywhere between 12-15". Wind created drifts all over.

We’re around 18 on the stake, but blowing snow complicates. It’s quite a bit. I’ll get out shortly and do a better assessment. 

[Ridgewoodweather125]

In a screw zone between two huge bands right now in Ridgewood. We’ve been 10-15 miles away from some major bands both to our east and west throughout the night

LGA reported 2” last hour so it’s confirmed it is.

EWR reported 23” on the ground last hour.

Makes sense - I'm just to SW in Union County, updated reports as of 8:50am have between 16-22 inches in most spots.

The GFS was king here-had it for a week and never wavered outside of a blip run right before the storm.

GFS for the epic win and IMO the RGEM for the epic fail.  Even more so than the EURO IMO.  I am just more shocked with the RGEM for a complete failure  especially 36-24 to 12 hours prior to the event.  Just horrendous.

Damn, wonder how Sussex did then. It looks like the extreme NW edge of this storm underperformed. 

My buddy in Montague is telling me 4-5". This wasn't a surprise at all

Yea it’s been quite heavy especially for the past 90 mins, should be in that range

The RGEM nailed the cutoff up here tho! Almost to the mile & amount!

Not sure if posted..all the sites that reached blizzard criteria

Just epic. And still coming down hard. This is one of the greatest of all time here that I can remember in my lifetime, was born 2 years after 78. I’ve got 5’ drifts along my stockade fence. A little concerned this is going to take some effort to clear even with the snowblower!

Currently 15'' OTG on the ground here as of 9AM. Strongest wind gust thus far was 45mph earlier this AM. 

[Bxstormwatcher360]

Officially 20+ inches here in the nw part of the bronx. Its ripping !!. 27 degrees so its higher ratio stuff falling. Literally took less then 20 mins to record .6..thats how hard its snowing. 

[NJwx85]

Only about a foot here in Clarkstown. I expected to wake up to more than this. I must have just missed that death band. Just flurrying here.

Probably around 15 or so in Montvale. Caught the band early this morning

Honestly kinda puts 96 in perspective (up here). The conditions we had from about 4 am thru 8 am today was roughly what we had for 12 hours straight in 96 and its why for my area 96 will always be king.

Drive 2 miles east

[Brian5671]

Other than the white rain at the start-no rain threat anywhere which is unusual-usually we have to worry about warm noses and track of the storm-no such threat this go around

Totally agree.  Was clear from radar last evening into the overnight that western and NW Sussex and western Warren and Hunterdon were fringing with this.  RGEM did good on that but so did other meso models.  Made several posts about this last night.

Buddy in Pittstown, western Hunterdon had 6” as of 7am.

I wonder if that band is going to make it here or if this it. Stuck under subsidence.

The RGEM has at times been a bit too east with very deep coastals.  The UKMET used to have that bias but it seems gone the last several years.

[JustinRP37]

The drifts are so impressive and this and I have been under all morning. When I was out making a snow blower pass we were roughly 15-18 with drifts that look like they are over 2 feet.

RGEM tends to have a dry bias I think.

It's double the height of the snowblower in spots. Waist deep around a lot of my house with drifts lol. Plus it's ripping hard >1/4 mi vis again right now. Incredible.
