NEW YORK (WABC) — The Blizzard of 2026 is now in the history books, officially becoming one of the region’s top 10 all-time snowstorms, bringing hurricane-force wind gusts, widespread whiteout conditions, and more than two feet of snow to parts of the Tri-State area.<\/p>\n
The historic storm has pulled out to sea and the big dig continues, with roads reopened and commuter railroad networks slowly returning to normal. The risk of black ice from melting snow refreezing remains a concern overnight. And regional disruptions will continue on Tuesday, with some schools closed or delayed. You can find the list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Believe it or not, we have two more shots of snow this week, with a clipper system bringing a coating to an inch, and maybe up to 2 north and west of the city, Wednesday morning. The second shot is a wintry mix late Thursday that could bring up to an inch or 2 of snow.<\/p>\n Neither of these systems this week will pack anywhere near the wallop of the departed blizzard, whose peak wind gusts reached 84 mph at Montauk Point and 74 mph in Stony Brook, readings comparable to a Category 1 hurricane. Even after snowfall began tapering in the afternoon, the combination of deep snowpack and gusts over 40 mph continued to produce blizzard conditions across much of the region.<\/p>\n
