JANUARY 26—STOPPED! FINALLY 17 HOUR SNOW STORM DROPS 16 INCHES ON WHITE PLAINS DRIFTS AND LOTS OF SHOVELFULLS

JANUARY 25– FLAKE-BY-FLAKE SNOW REPORT: THE BIG WHITE CONTINUES AT 5 INCHES AN HOUR APPROXIMATE PACE

Posted on January 25, 2026 by John Bailey

WPCNR WEATHER. jANUARY 25, 2026 4 P.M. UPDATED 10:40 P.M.

At the 10:40 PM hour, a fine rain is now falling, accumulation has essentially topped out in what has been one of most intense snowstorms afflicting White Plains in years.

More shoveling awaits us tomorrow morning. White Plains Schools are closed Monday.

After a second clearing of snow, it is clear the pace of the largest snowstorm to hit White Plains in two winters, by my recollection, that the powdery consistency of the white event aided by its organization and intensity of flake ordinance is continuing to replace snow already plowed, shoveled or snowblown away at the same speed as it is removed.

It took your shoveling reporter, John Bailey, another hour and 15 minutes to clear sidewalk and 90 foot driveway refilled with the windblown white .

My surprise was after completing shoveling in an hour 15 minutes, 1 hour later the drive was refilled again.

The rough total after two snow removals was 12 inches, and seeing another 2 inches have happily refilled the driveway. We are going to be close to 16 inches or more.

The growing problem, the DPW faces is the powdery drifting llightness of the snow. It does not pile or collect well. Walks residue has now piled to about 3 feet. And it has a tendence to collapse or create mini-avalanches.

If this stops by midnight the shovel jobs tomorrow will be another chore.
