A White Out in Scarsdale: Travel Ban Extended Until 6 PM Monday

(Updated 12:19 pm) The blizzard of 2026 is in full force in Scarsdale.

Snow began a bit later than expected on Sunday February 22, but by 5 pm the storm arrived, with heavy snowfall all night.

We awoke on Monday morning to confront blizzard conditions, with heavy wet snow accumulated on trees, streets and pathways and little visibility. The snowfall is expected to continue until 2 pm today with winds up to 30 miles per hour.

According to Scarsdale Mayor Justin Arest, the snowplows worked all night and will continue to clear the roads today.

Westchester County extended the travel ban until six pm on Monday February 23, 2026. So if you were even thinking about going out, forget it!

Here is the text from the County. “Due to ongoing hazardous road conditions caused by the winter storm, Westchester County is extending the current travel ban until six pm today, February 23.

The road ban is being implemented due to hazardous winter weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and wind. Roads are closed to all but essential travel (police, fire, EMS, utility/public works, media and hospital/medical personnel).”

Con Edison is not currently reporting any power outages in Scarsdale.

When do go out, please forward your snow photos to [email protected].
