Scarsdale Hit With Over a Foot of Snow: Check Out These Snowmen

Though sometimes the weather forecast can miss the mark and predictions of big snowfalls fail to materialize – this time it seems meteorologists were spot on.

With reports of more than a foot of snow coming our way on Sunday January 25, 2026, plans were cancelled, refrigerators were stocked and we were all braced for the storm, which began as planned on Sunday morning. Heavy snow fell all day Sunday, amounting to about a foot by 4 pm.

Then we started to hear freezing rain hitting the window, leaving a glaze of ice over the drifts.

Commenting on the storm on Monday, Village Manager Alexandra Marshall said, "We received about a foot of snow over the past two days. Crews have been out since 5:30AM yesterday and wrapped up earlier this morning. Overnight tonight into the morning, crews will be hauling snow piles from the downtown. This effort will take a couple of days to complete."

We should all have time to dig out on Monday as school is cancelled. But with freezing temperatures forecasted for the week to come, this snow – and ice – will stick around for the foreseeable future.
