The Allsnow Blizzard of 2026

I'm guessing we'll have a heavy wet snow vs light and fluffy powder, correct?

The city did well in Boxing Day.  

We all did great with that one but the jackpot was west of the Hudson in NJ.

Rahway came in with a huge total, was challenging to trust measurements with that one because drifting was so intense.

That was our last top tier KU event in December.

This is still playing it pretty conservative for our area. I told my Wife "12 to 18 inches" and she said, "In your dreams" LOL

I’m here in Pearl River, New York, one of the rare few times I’m glad to be in the most southern and eastern part of Rockland County. Looks like every mile south and east can make a big difference with this storm.

I was not living here for that storm, was in far s.e. Morris County and I ended up with 16".  Meanwhile a 15-20 min drive to my east that had 25-30".

When is the last west of forecast coastal - i truly cant remember in the last 7 - 8 years.?  When it used to be a routine occurrence.  Not a southwest flow event - i mean true miller a/b or c.

At least no sleet

I like the "high end" amounts (10% chance) from Upton

What a nasty western cutoff from nothing to glory in about 60 miles

I had 30 inches on Staten Island

 That was a true Miller A with a big, deep trough that cutoff over the TN Valley, however the abrupt cutoff is similar to what we will see with this storm.

It’ll probably have the same water content as Jan 25th’s.

I had 7" vs 20+ 20 miles east... this storm reminds me of that one but not as powerful,

[jerseyshorewxguy]

31 in Belmar where i worked -- it was a snowpocalypse --- the difference between the impact of 24 (where i lived in northern monmouth county and 31 in southern Mo Co was noticeable --- abandoned or stuck cars everywhere

Let’s take guesses. Is anyone seeing 2’ from this?

978 low-pressure is pretty strong, that's comparable to a CAT 1 cane intensity.

Less than that. Eastern Orange County with 26 inches, western Orange County with 4 inches. That was less than 30 miles here.

This is also acceptable.

I  believe the 2-1-21 KU event and the follow up system about a week later. But the Canadian did have the wild further west run about week before which was close to what verified. Even though the Euro was too suppressed for both systems.

500s look great. We are about to get NAM'D!

lol I see we're in the phase now where expectations get set so high that some people will be sad on Monday morning even if they get 19".  And I include me in 'some people', because once I see those crazy numbers this close to the event, I start to cash them in.  That's a me problem.  But not a just me problem I bet lol.

@TriPolyes that was my picture i floated around on twitter. Cause i do believe if we tuck a little more it could realistically mimic Boxing day blizzard at least to a point!  

[Dan76]
