The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[North and West]

dtwxrisk was in youtube chat again last night arguing with joe cioffi and joe rao he will never apologize for being wrong about the gfs..

Sometimes you’re (the general you, not you specifically) wrong. That’s all. Have some humility and try again next time.

Central Morris County: 14.5", 29.2F. The snow tapered off about an hour ago? It seems early to be over. Not quite historic and not as fun here in NJ as the Jan 25th event was visiting up in Putnam and Dutchess Counties due to less favorable timing and warmer temperatures, but still a really enjoyable event!

Just wish that position was 25 miles further west so the love would have extended further west across NJ.  No complaints though, still light snow here and closing in on 12" event total.

With the winds still cranking how the hell are you suppose to snow blow anything ... This is nuts 

Old snowblower died this year after lack of use and upkeep (shame on me), so I went out and shoveled the 8" I had by midnight last night to get a headstart.  I knew it'd get blown around somewhat, maybe even lose 50% of my work.  I did not expect it to look exactly as if I had done nothing.

I think there’s a bit more than that at MMU; maybe 16” or so? Not historic totals by any means here, but the wind brought us legitimate blizzard conditions overnight. Still fun!

Obviously more as you keep going south and east.

Bummer for metro west. Looking at radar, it looks like the City is in a solid band. Congrats! Just flurries/light snow out this way. NYC East Winter.

I am in Union County and we've been in moderate snow with heavy bursts pretty much all morning.  Most locations are going to push 20-26 in the Essex, Union, Middlesex, Monmouth corridors.

Subsidence again in central Brooklyn, but looks like some heavier echos pushing in from Queens soon.

[Northof78]

Millburn, NJ (W Essex County) somewhere between 18 - 21" most likely (estimated) and heavy snow with large flakes (probably snowing @ 1.5"/hr.). In the E NJ band by about 5-6 miles....Huge difference between EWR and W of MMU.

Western Suffolk crush job… wow

More than that...

[MANDA]

@ForestHillWx How much you got in Chester just south of me?

[EW9616]

Anyone have Nassau county totals? Feel like best banding was east and west of us 

15” or so here in syosset area. Little on lower end of expectations

Can you please send a source confirming those wind gusts?  What altitude are they measured at?

Montauk Airport has seen gusts to 52 mph.

It's at the light house on that building next next to it.  Nws is using those gusts, they verified in fall when they were 81s well. 

[Blizzardo]

We still rip! 

[wthrmn654]

87 mph at Montauk now 650 am

Enjoy it! You are on the snowy side of the gradient.

That’s what an 80mb pressure gradient can do!  Saw Providence gusted to 68.  10mph higher than Nemo so far.

[EW9616]

Western Suffolk crush job… wow

I’m close to N/S border near cold spring harbor and radar is more impressive than what’s falling for some reason. Would think it would be much harder right now

This has been one of those winters where the stats say it's been a solid winter, but places to the east have consistently cashed in more on every event, which sours it just a touch. It would probably have been better not to check this forum or the radar.

[Blizzardo]

Death band rotating south .. not really moving east!

We will have to see if the HRRR depiction of that moderate band til 1pm holds to fruition.

[wthrmn654]

Holy wind the past 30 mintues.. the ferry wind sensor must be covered in snow not raging accurately sadly... or it's one of the sonic ones.

Thank you!  However, I don't see Montauk wind gusts in the NWS local storm reports.  Do see lots of 60-70 mph gusts across NYC and LI.  So 80-85 mph gusts on Montauk are believable.
