Westchester County woke up to a winter wallop as the latest snowstorm swept through the region overnight, blanketing neighborhoods in a thick layer of snow and transforming familiar streets into icy, white corridors. From Mount Vernon to Peekskill, residents shoveled driveways, brushed off windshields, and navigated slick roads as plows worked to keep major routes passable. Churches closed for in-person services on Sunday, and students got an extended weekend as most schools closed Monday. Commuters braced for slower travel, and local officials urged caution as temperatures hovered below freezing and gusty winds threatened drifting snow and reduced visibility. The storm served as a sharp reminder that winter still has a firm grip on the Hudson Valley.
So just how much snow dropped on Westchester County? According to National Weather Service reports and local measurements, most communities saw between 9 and 17 inches of snow by early morning, with the highest amounts occurring in the northern and western parts of the county. Areas such as Bedford, Pound Ridge, and Peekskill were among the hardest hit, with some localized pockets receiving closer to a foot of accumulation. Closer to the Sound — including towns like Mamaroneck, Rye, and Larchmont — totals were slightly lower, generally 6–8 inches, as the storm’s heaviest bands shifted westward.

While this storm is done, the problem is that it’s just so cold outside. The Arctic air that helped spawn that storm, though, is expected to stick around through the rest of the month. With cold air and gusty winds combining, wind chill values across the region could range from 0 to 10 degrees below freezing, with pockets dipping as low as 15 degrees below zero, according to forecasters.

The National Weather Service (NWS) says the potential is increasing for a new system to move into the area. However, it remains too early to determine exact timing, snowfall totals, or impacts. Forecasters urge residents to stay up to date as the week unfolds.
Stay tuned to Black Westchester, for now, the focus remains on staying safe in the dangerous cold — while keeping a close eye on the potential for another winter storm that could keep the Tri-State locked in an active and unforgiving weather pattern.
