The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

[Dark Star]

Dave Curren of NJN12 news said that Newark officially met the blizzard criteria for at least 3 straight hours last night, so one less thing for me to opine about...

From my mother out in Patchogue.

3 foot drift blocking her in.

That's very likely not even her largest drift considering she has near 30".

Indeed - they also met it again this morning I believe - so technically a two day blizzard verification.

I’m under a solid band now. Heaviest snow here since dawn.

[SACRUS]

Better than 12:1 ratios in the good bands with the LE to snow here.  

[Mail Man]

I’m hearing a 40 burger report in RI I think got too look at it again.

How much did you record/measure in Garwood?

Yeah getting crushed again here, band rebuilt over most of rockland. Not as heavy as the stuff at 6-8 am but gonna give us a few more inches before it shuts off.

Cars are now disappearing under the snow

EWR All-Time Records (as best I can tell):
Jan. 1996 - 27.6"
Dec. 1947 - 26.7"
Feb. 2026 - 25.6" and counting as of 1100

We definitely met those conditions here too.

Several measurements and looks like about 13”, Sparta.

The band over the city seems to be drying up.

Looks like something trying to pop and drift across the sound. 

From your lips to God's ears, but so far every time it looks that way the hole comes roaring back.  HRRR says we could get another inch, but it also says it should be snowing here now and it's not.  My total is 17", so not the worst skunking ever.

[Nibor]

We've got at least 20 here. Drifts are up to 30.

Nice reporting. My purely experiential eyeballing of the snow during that time was 17-18”

One day I'm gonna submit my portfolio to all the weather outlets and NWS to try to be an official (not even sure thats how it works lol)  

[Snowman92]

I am absolutely exhausted. Shoveled for the 3rd time. 22" in Northern Bergen County / Fair Lawn. The drifts are 4ft high.

Still in a band.....

Wow this band in Bergen country doesn’t want to move.

One of the few spots somewhat disappointed from this storm on a relative basis. Northeast Nassau - in between the bands. Probably finish with maybe 18” is my guess.

Steady light snow for hours on top of a 20"+ base is one of the most beautiful sights you'll see around these parts for a snow lover.

Southeast mass just getting rocked

I believe it.  I held off posting about it earlier since I figured maybe it's not our forum area (wasn't sure), but was going to say that RI was under seemingly eternal dark green echoes which have been parked there for hours and hours and hours.  Only now is it looking like the west side of the state has lightened up a bit.

its happened to me too many times; those great long island storms in 2018 largely left me with crumbs....only one hit in late march...and the island got smoked with the jersey shore....

Could be worse.  I just got 17" of crumbs.  How did it go there?

i remember during the 2006 blizzard central park picked up 11 inches of snow in 3 hours..

I don't think anything will top February 2006 here. 28" and hours of thundersnow, those are still the craziest rates I ever witnessed. That was one of those rare NYC jackpots

[wxman]

I'm feeling left out with my measly 16.3"  LOL.  Great storm, top 20 even here.
