The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

I feel like it’s just a snow dome over my place in Ridgewood. Everyone within a couple miles is blizzard snow and we’ve had on and off light snow all morning

Feel like you’re only 2-4 miles too far west of the band that has been sitting here

Storm total here 17.1" 

@IrishRob17, interesting measurements:

9.0" of snow through midnight melted down to 0.79" (11.4:1).

I cleared the boards at midnight (my standard is once per 24 hours at midnight)

8.1" new measured on the boards a short while ago.  Sample from that hasn't melted yet.

I had 4.5" at the stake before the snow started and 18" now.  The 4.5 inches is rock hard and did not compact, so you know the front 9 sure did.  It is possible the snow could have been a little higher on the stake earlier, maybe 19".

Alas, if we do manage to get another inch or two, it probably won't increase the snow depth.

Running a net negative on snow depth out this way since I measured at 7:30am. Temperature approaching freezing now with lots of dripping. The middle of the storm was great but the ending third has been disappointing. The duration of accumulating snow here was about 12-14 hours. It was looking closer to 20 hours plus back this way a day or two ago. We'll get ours one of these years.

Yep the last 3-4 hours everything had either been a few miles to my west or a few miles to my east. Sucks to just be in a snow hole all morning while I could literally take a long walk to places getting dumped on

Looks like Caldwell, NJ reported only 1 hour of heavy snow. Sussex only reported 2 hours of moderate snow. Rates just never really got going in N&W NJ. The bands never quite rotated far enough around. A far cry from the NWS forecast discussion language from 36 hours ago.

I clear in the morning, total here was 5.5" which melted down to exactly .55

The melt is going to be a lot faster than people expect. This is not late Jan with arctic temps. 

Even temps near freezing under sunny skies will do a lot of damage with late Feb to early March sun.
