JANAURY 26, 2026
Millions of Americans are waking up to a white wonderland on Monday, Jan. 26 after the monster weekend storm dumped over a foot of snow on some parts of the country.
As of Monday morning, the brunt of the weekend’s major winter storm has passed in some parts of the country, while other areas are bracing for more rounds of snow.
The National Weather Service said moderate to heavy snow will continue to fall across the Northeast from Upstate New York to southern Maine on Monday morning. Other than some mixed precipitation across the Carolinas and Georgia, snow has ended elsewhere, the agency said.
Forecasters are also expecting bitter cold and icy conditions to linger over the coming days, likely resulting in extended power outages and travel delays around the country.

How to measure snowfall
The National Weather Service relies on volunteers to help measure total snowfall amounts during winter storms around the country.
To make your own measuring tool, known as a snow measurement board, use a piece of plywood around 24 by 24 inches. Make sure it is around 3/8 to half an inch thick to reduce the chance of blowing away.
Place the snow measuring board on the ground ahead of the snowfall. To measure, push a yardstick into the snow until it hits the snow measuring board. Record the measurement to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Those without a snow measuring board can track totals on a surface like a picnic table or wooden deck as long as it is not near a roof where snow blowing off could accumulate.
