This areas on LI has a good chance to see the max out of anyone of the whole storm. Serious 30”+ potential here.

Speechless.

Atmospherically it’s hard to achieve conditions more extreme than this in a winter storm. 70-80mph wind gusts coupled with extreme snowfall rates between 2-4” per hour. Visibility near true zero in exposed areas. A generational blizzard for some.

This is what explosive extratropical intensification looks like. The central core pressure has dropped to ~970 mbar this morning, similar to that of a Category 2 Hurricane. An all-out blizzard is now raging in New England as this titanic, winterstorm cyclone continues to swirl.

A day's worth of radar mosaic loop from the ongoing blizzard of February 2026 - lots of snow band action going on across the region:

Epic satellite imagery of the historic blizzard and bomb cyclone Nor’easter slamming the Northeast. Up to 27.5 inches of snow has fallen on Long Island, with wind gusts as high as 83 mph reported on Nantucket.

**ALL-TIME RECORD** Providence is up to 32.8" and counting, surpassing the Blizzard of '78. Records date to 1904. Still snowing. #wbz

JUST IN: Providence, Rhode Island has officially measured their most extreme snowstorm in recorded history, with 32.8 in of snowfall and climbing. The previous record was 28.6 in, set during the Blizzard of 1978. Historic radar loop.

2:15pm: Here is a preliminary snowfall analysis map for the February 22-23, 2026 blizzard from reports we have received so far. For a listing, see the following link: partnerservices.nws.noaa.gov/products/cache

NY, NJ, CT snow totals - 2pm Babylon, NY: 29.5″ Islip, NY: 29.1″ Nesconset, NY: 28.8″ North Patchogue, NY: 28.6″ Bay Shore, NY: 28.2″ Montauk, NY: 28.1″ Carlstadt, NJ: 27.9″ Englewood, NJ: 27.5″ Speonk, NY: 27.5″ Bogota, NJ: 27.4″ Ridgefield, NJ: 27.1″ Newark Airport, NJ: 27.1″

What a storm for the Northeast! Biggest amounts will be at the forks and Brooklyn. General 20-30” on the island, making it the largest snowstorm in decades for portions of the island.

Here's a loop of the 2026 Historic Major Blizzard. This Blizzard smashed the Rhode Island Statewide snow total record set nearly 50 years ago. This Blizzard dropped over 36 Inches of snow in an area in Rhode Island...

The banding just keeps reforming over RI. This is nuts!

Fascinating evolution of two quasi-stationary snow bands today: - fires of moisture targeted at SE MA & Rhode Island producing heavy snow since 2-3am - *still* ongoing 16 hours later - near-stationary band over eastern NJ this morning produced a narrow swath of 24-28 inches

*Providence, RI Update* 37.9" of snow. Top all-time snowstorm and the 24-hour state record for snowfall was possibly broken today This is more snow than the ENTIRETY of 6 of the past 7 winters. The only one with more was 2022, and it was barely more than this (43.5"). #wbz

Using all public storm reports from the NWS so far, I contoured a preliminary estimated snow accumulation map for today's blizzard (through 6-8pm EST tonight). Truly a historic storm - both in terms of impacts, and the forecast challenges leading up to it.
