The bomb cyclone of 2026 officially made history. After a few days of frantic forecasting, the storm–now dubbed Winter Storm Hernando– pummeled the five boroughs with snowfall rates that haven’t been seen in years.
The blizzard officially landed itself in the top 10 snow storms on record in NYC history. Some areas of the city were facing a final total of two feet, along with travel bans, school closures, and blizzard warnings, making New York City come to a near-total halt.
Now that the snow has stopped falling, here are the current snow totals.
