Just when you thought it was safe, Mother Nature is not finished making this a February to remember. I, for one, after shoveling snow throughout the day on Monday, do not want to see any additional snow. but before we discuss any more snow, just how much snow did we receive in the region?
Some spots on Long Island and in New Jersey recorded two and a half feet or more. My Strong Island home of Central Islip may have gotten the most of anywhere in the region, with 31 inches overall. In Westchester, Greenville recorded 24.1 inches, Hartsdale recorded 24 inches, Ossining 23.2 inches, Irvington 23 inches, Yorktown Heights 22.2 inches, Valhalla 21.2 inches, Woodlawn 20 inches, my hometown of Mount Vernon recorded 18.1 inches, White Plains 18 inches, New Rochelle 15.6 inches, and Yonkers and Pelham Manor each recorded 16.0 inches, just to give you an idea of what we are dealing with.
But while Monday’s blizzard has moved out, and the cleanup is only just underway, the National Weather Service (NWS) predicts the Lower Hudson Valley hasn’t seen the last of the snow for the week. Snow is expected to fall again on Wednesday, February 25th, between 4 and 10 a.m., according to NWS. There won’t even be an inch of accumulation in Westchester and Rockland, but one to two extra inches are anticipated in Brewster.
Wednesday is predicted to see temperatures of about 40 degrees, which could quickly melt further snow in places where there has been little accumulation. Temperatures could feel like the 20s and 30s, though, depending on wind chill levels. Temperatures could fall to about 28 degrees on Wednesday night.
Residents of the Lower Hudson Valley may witness further light snowfall beginning after 1 p.m. on Thursday and lasting into the evening, although none of the three counties are predicted to see accumulation of more than an inch. The sky appears to be mostly sunny, with highs of about 37 degrees.
However, I do have some positive news to share. Forecasts as of midnight February 25, 2026, indicate that although more light snow and a wintry mix are predicted to produce more minor accumulations through Thursday, snow in Westchester is predicted to evaporate gradually during the week due to rising temperatures.
The weather is predicted to be sunny from Friday, February 27th, through Sunday, March 1st, with temperatures ranging from 27 to 41 degrees.
The National Weather Service says there is a 30% chance of snow during the day on Monday, March 2, but a greater accumulation is not probable.
School districts are prioritizing staff and student safety over the Wednesday morning bell due to the aftermath of the massive snowstorm and the threat of further snow. As of midnight, a growing list of Hudson Valley schools have decided to delay the start of classes or cancel the school day entirely. This list will be updated here throughout Wednesday morning.
