DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 7-11)
A snowy Saturday, a result of the complex evolution / redevelopment of low pressure that was initially starting to pass to our north but ends up as an ocean storm to our south and moving out to sea tonight. During this process the snow takes place with one large general synoptic area as well as some enhanced ocean-effect bands and some focused heavier convective snow areas due to an inverted trough combined with an arctic boundary. When it’s all done, a general light to moderate snowfall occurs everywhere with the exception of heavier bands of snow accumulation where ocean-effect and trough-enhanced snowfall is maximized, still seeming like it will focus on northeastern MA and parts of the MA South Shore. The final snow amounts can end up highly variable from one location to another just a few miles away, but below I’ll give you my best-guess final call on this event, which wraps up by this evening. Note: I think if one location is going to exceed even my highest forecast number, it will be somewhere in Essex County MA. Tonight we have a few lingering snow flurries early with the full-on arrival of arctic air, which will be with us through Sunday night, along with wind and pretty brutal wind chills, as well as blowing snow to add a bit of insult to injury (unless you like this kind of weather, like I do – haha). If you need to be outside for any length of time tonight through Sunday night, dress accordingly! We’ll see a gradual moderation from the coldest weather Monday and Tuesday, although overnight / early morning low temps will still be quite frigid due to deep snow cover and lessening wind. High pressure brings fair weather on Monday. Timing for our next unsettled threat is a little faster with low pressure looking like it will rocket eastward, clipper-style, and pass just north of our area late Tuesday and early Wednesday. While a few tweaks may be needed, it looks like this system’s warm front can produce some light snowfall later Tuesday and its cold front may produce a snow shower early Wednesday, but it will not be a significant weather-producer.
TODAY: Overcast with snow including heavier snow shower bands favoring the MA North Shore & eventually South Shore regions. Snowfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches in general, with pockets of 6 to 10 inches favoring Essex County MA and the MA South Shore, including Boston, and probably another such pocket southern RI and adjacent southern MA. Highs 18-25 except 23-30 Cape Cod / South Coast, but a rapid temperature drop develops from northwest to southeast during the afternoon hours. Wind E to NE 5-15 MPH, shifting NE to N later in the day.
TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy early with lingering snow flurries, followed by clearing. Lows 0-7. Wind N to NW increasing to 15-25 MPH with higher gusts. Wind chill -10 to -20.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 11-18. Wind NW 15-25 MPH. Wind chill often below zero.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows -5 +2 except 0-7 Cape Cod and some urban centers. Wind NW diminishing to 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 17-24. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows -3 to + 5 except 5-12 Cape Cod and urban centers. Wind NW to W under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Good chance of light snow late-day, favoring areas north of I-90. Highs 25-32. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy. A snow flurry possible. Temperatures nearly steady. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of a snow shower in the morning. Highs 30-37. Wind SW shifting to NW 10-20 MPH with higher gusts.
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 12-16)
Watching for some mid-period unsettled weather but currently no strong indications of a major event. Temperatures variable, averaging out near to slightly below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 17-21)
Up-and-down temperature pattern with one or two more unsettled weather potentials but no major storms expected.
Thanks TK. ❄️
Boston: 0.6” so far.
MORE here.
Thanks TK.
Working in Lynn today. Dumping snow here.
Thanks TK.
Thank you TK.
Snowfall in Swampscott is moderate to heavy and accumulating quickly.
If somewhere is going to exceed the top # on my range today, it’ll be somewhere in the Lynn to Beverly / Danvers region.
Good morning and thank you TK.
25 here, down from 27 earlier
Snowing decently here, not quite moderate, but still quite decent. Approaching 2 inches new.
Ocean: 39
Wordle: 5 Thought I had it on guesses 3 and 4, but it didn’t like my reasonable word choices. Finally on guess 5, I fed it the word it wanted. 🙂 🙂 🙂
I struggled with this even having four letters in the incorrect spots with second guess.
Permission to join you in the 5 car please
Yes, of course. I have the coffee brewing and some yummy danishes!!!
Yummmmm. Thank you
I believe Essex County is the only county in MA with a Winter Storm Warning.
Having checked on my accumulation right here, the fluff factor is the real deal, and caused me to add an extra inch to my forecast today, so the final version is now posted above.
Yes, of course. I have the coffee brewing and some yummy danishes!!!
Thank you, TK. We are up a degree from the low of 22. Rough measure is close to 2 inches.
We had a bunny visit. He came up the steps to the front door.
https://ibb.co/YFxxQRh3
https://ibb.co/BVPdjFh5
My yard is full of tracks like that. We have a family living under one of our porches and I am LEAVING them there. I love the bunnies.
Fun. I love the bunnies too. I have yet to see them come up front stairs. But then the majority of time there isn’t snow so I really have no idea
Some really decent OES bands are heading on shore….
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
Well it has been quite a week.
1) I had my first and hopefully last encounter with a wrong-way driver while coming home from a restaurant in the Andover area. Thankfully I avoided a crash but it was very close.
2) I was called back to work which I have not done in a while.
3) I am in the jackpot zone.
4) I took my first shot at WORDLE and got there in 6 but if I had known what the heck I was doing and understood a little about strategy, it would have been 4. I can see where this could become addictive.
Phew on #1.
#2 is ok, isn’t it?
Yay on #3
Please keep up with #4 and join us. 🙂
I second every word JPD wrote. With a double phew for 1
Thank you both!
Thanks TK
Enjoy the snow everyone!
Snow just let up here, momentary I hope.
Working at the Hospital just today & nothing impressive here while it’s been snowing since I arrived at 6am . Wet roads with no accumulation
There is accumulation here, a mere few miles away.
Nearly 2 inches.
Nothing like that here at all , location , location .
Thanks TK. Hope Natick is on the low end. Go Pats.
It’s a perfect day to spend in PJs making Super Bowl munchies. Go Pats.
Brownies for us. 🙂 Making them tomorrow. Want to fill the house with that wonderful aroma!!!
Mmmmmmm
My munchies are being handled by someone else. All I have to do is pick up Chinese food tomorrow late afternoon. 🙂
Only “out” I have to do today is shovel whatever snow falls early this evening!
I am watching Olympics on 2 screens all day long and prime time show tonight, as always. 🙂
Love Chinese Food. I could eat every day for the rest of my life!!!
We have a few good places here in the Woburn area, and I often use a place called Eighty Eight Cafe in Winchester. My favorite Chinese food place currently, however, is in Acton, called Spicepepper Garden.
Already have my superbowl munchies (frozen pizza, patriots gingerbread cookie, chips, etc.) but I need ti clean the area where I’ll be watching. That’s my agenda!
Smoked salmon dip, crab English muffin bites, teriyaki wingettes and a charcuterie plate here.
Wish I liked seafood bc that sounds like a good spread!
Wordle 4
Excellent.
Agree. Excellent
This event is already very adequately displaying the “have” and “have not” areas. It should come as no surprise to anyone.
12Z HRRR kuchera snowfall from 7AM onward.
https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=hrrr&p=snku_acc-imp&rh=2026020712&fh=20&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc=
Thanks TK. Just measured 3” here in Coventry CT and snow has tapered to flurries. Looks like the inverted trough is now parking itself just east of us over the eastern quarter of CT and RI. Some heavy snow continuing to fall there for several more hours.
Already getting windy and cold here. Down to 14.
That boundary is likely the arctic front, which is further west than the inv. trof. Either way, they act similarly.
Thanks TK !
My daughter is moving from Brighton to Somerville today. What should she expect?
Nice squall line over Sturbridge right now , absolutely pounding snow, with about 4” on the ground so far
Shows up nicely on radar
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
https://weather.us/radar-us/massachusetts/reflectivity/KBOX.html#play-0-12-5
Another radar of it too 🙂
Beautiful!!! I like how the snow from the arctic front meets up with Inverted trough convergence and BOOM!!!
How far East will that translate?
Then when/IF it hits the OES snows more to the East???
What happens then? MEGA BOOM!!!!
Yes, lots of convergence zones today.
Almost like on a hot, humid day when we have the sea breeze convergence, an approaching cold front’s convergence and then outflow boundary convergences (probably don’t have that last one today)
How we looking down there tom
Snow just picked up a little.
Less than 1” currently.
Thank you sir
Snow finally picking up in intensity here again. yay!!
We are at 2″ here. I little while ago I got a peek at the sun through the light snow. I really like seeing that for some reason.
I got Wordle in 4.
Nice job.
Very nice 4
My Street just got plowed. So at least someone thought there was enough snow to plow. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Wow !!!
I think I could actually call what is falling MODERATE SNOW.
Much bigger flakes than previously. This will accumulate rapidly!!
There’s a line of dark green with yellow echoes mixed in out in Boston harbor.
Let’s see if that makes it to shore.
Well, it certainly “appears” to be on a bee line!!!
We shall see.
In the meantime, the moderate snow I was seeing had now reduced itself to light snow and the lighter side of light.
No consistency today, for sure.
Now I have to go through quite a lull before and IF those echoes out in the harbor make it here.
You’ll be getting in on a heavier area from the northeast and north before this is over.
If this intensity sustains itself for the rest of the morning into late afternoon, I could see my area getting close to a foot. if it averages 1.25″ per hour, I’ll get there.
The only thing that will prevent that is that it won’t last long enough.
Are you figuring the back end would come to a close before or after say 4 PM?
Around then, yes.
9” in Danvers and 10” Beverly already per posters on American Wx forum.
I believe that. They were getting hammered.
So weird. We are the next town over in Lynn s d only have a few inches but still piling up.
Exactly how this was described.
It makes me think of a similar event back in the late 1970s that helped shape my weather-fascination.
10″ in Woburn
2″ in Winchester
Distance between them: Less than 3 miles.
🙂
Yes you did , each area is going to vary
Photos taken from Beverly a short time ago. Over 10″ and counting…
https://www.americanwx.com/bb/uploads/monthly_2026_02/IMG_20260207_083544716.jpeg.aaec51678ff956fd81fba00aa2b65679.jpeg

6″ Ledyard CT as of an hour ago.
9″ Ashaway, RI
and still pounding in those areas.
Will definitely be seeing some 12-18″ localized jackpot areas today. Impressive.
Multiple 10-12″ reports now Marblehead to Peabody.
Those locations are only a few miles north of Lynn where I am and we only have a few inches. Amazing what a difference a mile or two makes.
Awfully bright out here. Sun IS Visible through the overcast.
Between the enhanced areas, there is subsidence. This is the result.
Yup, I get that. Doesn’t mean I like it. 🙂
https://www.goes.noaa.gov/sector_band.php?sat=G19§or=ne&band=10&length=24
Just catching up on the blog this morning. The snow is increasing here Hingham. We probably got around a half inch overnight.
Thanks TK! Wordle – 5
Definitely has picked up light to moderate snow Weymouth
Please join the 5 car.
Yay. Welcome to the 5 car
2 things have me surprised a bit
1) the intensity of the snow band along the arctic front. Knew it was going to be good, but it has been ferocious.
2) yes, the inverted trof has formed those bands on the north shore. I guess I didn’t also expect the other snow areas out over the ocean. They are moving westward but it’s not a guarantee it all makes it to the coast or very far inland.
Separately, looks like outer Cape Ann is currently getting very, very heavy snow.
I don’t know what the per hour rate is but we are getting buried!
Awesome, enjoy !!!!
Tom, do you have an idea of when the back end will finish up?
Per TK, 4pm
https://weather.us/
Arrrggghhh that didn’t work.
Anyhow, I had a close up radar of your area and it’s all dark green and a couple dots of yellow.
https://weather.us/radar-us/suffolk/reflectivity/KBOX_20260207-150735z.html
Given that Longshot is reporting heavy snow and seeing the echoes in his vicinity, It has to be an extreme whiteout on Cape Ann right now, because there are some decent yellow dots showing up in that area. My guess is 2-4” per hour IF that stays over them for a full hr.
Snow beginning to pick up again here.
Here too !!!! It will be brief here, because it’s a small dark green echo.
Hope we can pickup something decent tom . Snowing decently in this area of Boston but it just isn’t sticking really .
It will eventually 🙂
Thanks Tom. Briefly between bands for the moment.
395 corridor in CT just getting hammered. 2-3″ per hour snows, whiteout conditions.
Shot from a few minutes ago in Moosup CT, they are up to 7″ and still pounding…
https://www.americanwx.com/bb/uploads/monthly_2026_02/20260207_100534.jpg.d046d02e418398ca36f610f17b5674b1.jpg
Been impressive watching that feature too.
The models, understandably, underestimated it.
So, trying to remember back to last night’s HRRR, I think that Cape Ann batch that’s gathering and consolidating, that might be the one the next 4-5 hrs to watch.
It may hold in that area the next 1 hr and then, I think it may pivot southwestward and then southward. And if it holds in intensity in its southwest and southward journey, then that’s what could stack up further impressive ants first, just northeast of Boston, then in Boston and then down to the south shore and finally off the Buzzards Bay Area and parts of the cape.
Heavy snow right now here !!
YAY!!
https://weather.us/radar-us/essex/reflectivity/KBOX_20260207-151649z.html
My goodness out on Cape Ann
It is absolutely dumping snow here in Essex !!!
Probably 6-8 so far
Not doing much here now. Been very frustrating, watching snow pick up only to slack off again!!
Yes, it’s what TK said above.
Tremendous localized lift in these bands and so either side of them, the air is sinking and drying.
It went from dim sun to dark back to dim sun earlier here 🙂
Dim sum is awesome!!! I’ll have some as I am pretty hungry!!
Oh, wait, you said Dim Sum. Ahhh, that’s a different story.
lol !
I mean you said Sim Sun. See what’s on my mind!!!!
Dim Sun. I think I should go back to bed!!!!
Already down to 0 at Pittsfield, MA !!!!!
On that Cape Ann closes in radar shot above, there’s also a lot of yellow out in the ocean south of it.
Boston can still get 14” that the HRRR simulated if that holds together in intensity and moves another 20 mins westward and then hits them for a few hrs.
The good news is, it won’t sit there that long once it starts pivoting and I think it may ease a bit in intensity, but if that stuff moves thru Boston, it should deposit an additional 3-6” from now.
We’re still at only “about” 2 inches.
So we’ll see what we end up with. 🙂
Still not doing much here, even though radar says differently.
Picking up here now. Has been very light all morning.
Hmmm, it almost looks like the area between Worcester and Boston is trying to fill in on the radar.
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
Still VERY light snow here!!!!
Not doing much here now. Waiting on the arrival of that band entering western RI.
That death band that was moving in from the ocean looks to be falling apart or at least weakening.
Is there snow coming to Natick later? Nothing much to report to this point. Seems like metro west is avoiding the heavy stuff. Thanks.
https://weather.us/radar-us/essex/reflectivity/KBOX_20260207-153714z.html
Still snowing lightly here in Coventry CT. It never really stopped, just not accumulating much at this point. Near ground blizzard conditions at times though when the wind picks up and blows the snow around.
Cape Ann getting absolutely annihilated. Poster on the American Wx forum there said complete whiteout, zero visibility.
Yes, it has to be.
Maybe 2-4” per hour is even underestimating the rate in that band. 5-6” per hour?? Lots of yellow echo returns. And it’s fluffy.
Worcester whiteout now as well.
Vicki you should be getting crushed shortly as that band slides east, if not already.
Snow picking up in intensity here yet again
Snow here is not light and fluffy. Very dense.
heavy band from the West “appears” to be expanding Eastward and bands from the East are expanding Westward. Still looks like
Worcester to Boston will ALL be in varying intensities of decent to heavy snow???
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
And the Cape Ann Death Band seems to be expanding a bit and Heading SW.

NWS Snow reports….
https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BOX&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off
At the time of this post, it was last updated at 9:22AM
Nice, thank you,
Now updated as of 10:57AM
Just measured a fair 2.25. Wow on Cape Ann.
Just an increase in wind where I am. When I stepped outside it was like walking into a wind tunnel.
According to Kerry Ann, the Arctic front is now passing through Worcester.
Will there be a squeeze play when the front approaches the coast? Is that how it works?
Yes there will be one, but that frontal boundary won’t make much more progress until the entire thing is just pulled into the circulation of the offshore storm late today.
Picking up here now.
It is so bright here now, I’m thinking sun screen and a beach day 🙂 🙂 🙂
Please let us know how the beach is 😉
Will do !
The Western Death band is falling apart.
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
Because the precip moves away from that incredible change in winds just above. They heavy snow literally moves away from the incredible convergence that is causing it to form.
Just below 🙂
Gloucester has a NW wind at 21 and the Rockport buoy an ENE wind at 30. Inverted trof. 🙂
Bryce (spotter network and lead MA meteorologist) thought we’d end around 2:00 here with some possible wrap around
We are now 2.5 so it picked up a bit
NWS spotter reports, it is now updated as of 10:57AM…
https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=BOX&product=PNS&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off
Beverly now with 13″ and counting…
Darn just missed calling in time
Each short range model (so far) has had at least one shortcoming, but the early #’s favor the RRFS for the event overall, having gotten all of the enhanced features generally at least in the ballpark.
I don’t think Boston is going to come in high with this but I could 100% be wrong , just can’t get it to really stick & it’s freezing out ( observation for longwood medical area
See below.
Whiteout. Wind has picked up. Visibility extremely low.
Bingo. See my comment.
Thanks TK !
North Shore not done yet – a couple more hours.
Boston (immediate vicinity) and South Shore are next – over the next few hours, mostly now to 4-ish.
Arctic boundary to the west is still going, but will gradually come to a halt, merge with the in-between area that formed, and then start to be pulled southward as the offshore storm’s circulation takes over.
TK, I would like the halt to happen after it passes me 🙂
🙂
Wordle: 5
Back to a lull.
Around 2.5 inches.
Welcome to the 5 car. 🙂
Yay. It’s a party in the 5 car.
Thanks JpDave and Vicki ! 🙂
Olympic Women’s Hockey… after 2 periods…
USA 4
Finland 0
What’s left of the Cape Ann band is very close to getting to my location. We’ll see how intense the snow will be and how much snow will be dropped.
I hope Eric Fisher didn’t jinx the Pats by posting that it will be a decent week for a parade. 😉 HAHAHA.
HA!
I say good for him! 😀
Thanks, TK!
Well, I’ve been waiting for more than four years for the phrase, “Death Bands.” Thanks, JPD! Hahahaha!
I think “Death Bands” and “Kuchera” are returning to Mansfield’s xFinity Center this summer for the heavy metal fest!!! I will be in the moshpit!!!! 🙂
The snow has really picked up in intensity in the last 15 minutes.
🙂 🙂
Great band names, for sure!

A very fine snowfall in Padanaram now – even at 32 degrees. Between that and higher sun angle even behind clouds snow will struggle to accumulate on pavement. It is coming down noticeably harder. And as I typed that it has suddenly started to really snow hard – this keeps up and pavement will easily be covered
Just wait………we are down 8F now here in Coventry CT!
I need to get out and shovel fast because this will be solid ice underneath In a few hours
Eric Fisher
@ericfisher
21m
This will be the heaviest pulse of the day coming through Boston roughly 1230-130. Much shorter duration than what areas north saw but briefly very heavy
Things winding down on the North Shore after their private heavy coastal front snowstorm

Gloucester earlier during 3″ per hour snow band…just absolutely crushed.

Wow, nice Mark !
Wow.
We’re back to heavy snow again. But it’s very fine.
I’m seeing reports on Facebook tom that pembroke roads are bad
I’m sure !
Snow has slowed but it is blowing all over the place!
Jimmy B…When do you head south for your golf vacation? Next week, February Break?
Next Thursday Captain and Hilton Head looks like it will be pretty chilly Saturday and Sunday
Enjoy. My in laws played Hilton head often. Mac was never able to. But did play Augusta once or maybe twice
Thanks Vicki – playing Haig Point, Harbourtown, and Atlantic Dunes
Wishing you terrific games
It’s finally here!!!
Snowing Moderately to border line heavy and the wind has picked up.
Excellent !!
May be done here. 2.9 seems as if it’s the total.
Heavy snow in Weymouth visibility less than 200 yards.
🙂
Very Heavy Snow here in Hingham right now. In the 15-20 minutes I was shoveling the walkway and sidewalk (son did the driveway) we picked up an additional 1/2 inch of snow in addition to the 4 inches I measured (in 4 places) before shoveling. Visibility is probably between 1/8 and 1/16 of a mile right now
I’ve gone through my heaviest in the past hour (maybe close to 4 inches here – haven’t measured officially yet). It does not take long at all for the wind to increase as this area starts to pull southward. And the temperature plummet will not be modest either. Already 15 in Worcester and 10 or lower to the west of there.
Yes…we will probably go out and shovel one more time before the wind and cold hit
As Tk said heavy snow now at the Hospital with everything getting covered quickly . I’m leaving at 3pm it should be fun , not !!! At least I’m home for another week after this overtime shift .
It should be winding down by the time you leave there. Next 90 min is the peak.
Still 31 in Padanaram- snow has let up a little – nothing but puddles on the pavement
Top amount so far is 13 inches at Hamilton MA.
Nuts to see areas in central/northern NH still in the middle 20’s while we are down to 7F here. Frigid air is moving in fast….
I don’t mind wind and frigid temps, but I am definitely doing my shovel pass as soon as the snow quits enough. I’m thinking close to 4. By then it’ll probably already be in the teens here, but I don’t care. I got layers and great boots / gloves. 🙂 Having a hood is essential when the wind gets going!
I am about to do the same. 3″ here but my driveway is half blown bare and the other half is drifted to a foot. We’ve got some filtered sun out now but it is getting more brutal by the minute.
I love watching snow drifting sculpted by the wind, and the variations of it based on wind direction and objects on the ground.
Quincy/Braintree/Weymouth area just getting crushed. Must be 3″ in the last hour in those areas. 40 dbz on the radar!
That will take care of the South Shore jackpot area.
I concur. Definitely a crush job.
In spite of the very heavy rate, no wind as far as I can tell looking out the window.
What do you mean
Meaning I will verify my forecast as the South Shore of being one of 3 areas that get above the regional average for snowfall amounts. The other two being the North Shore / Cape Ann, and eastern CT to parts of RI and adjacent southern MA.There are areas of lower snowfall between all of those.
Got it
100 yds visibility in blinding, thick mist, extremely heavy snow.
Snowing very lightly now. Blowing snow all around.
12z Euro AI hammers the mid Atlantic on President Day but the ocean storm then passes out to sea to our south, just grazing CT.
12z Euro op is further south and tries to add further to Charlotte’s snow total this season.
Meanwhile, the 12z GFS cuts to the Great Lakes while the Canadian is a direct hit but weaker and delivers a light to moderate snowfall.
Models all over the place. Still plenty of time to figure that one out…
It won’t rival the President’s Day 2003 storm.
Boston: 27.6” (record)
Technically, that’s not something we can say that far in advance.
TK – Will this end even long before 4 pm?
Nope, never said that. Around or a bit after 4 for your area.
We’re close to 4”.
I’d guess another 2” to come.
I’ll take a half a foot out of this.
Then, I hope for some eventual easing of the weather. Hoping for a day in the 40s or 50s would be nice during February break the week of the 16th to the 20th. Not that I see it hinted at necessarily.
Boston (Logan): 4.2” so far.
Pretty good !
Well, that is just about it for our snow.
Big Woof. I knew it could play out this way, but was hoping for more. 🙂
Last gasp. Picked up slightly, but not for long.
Definitely got lighter & roads bare again here
Last bit of being crushed here.
Nothing to downplay about this very impressive and “well-behaved” event. All that was left to see were some finer details.
Just some very light snow/flurries here. Going out again to shovel before the cold/wind gets here.
A bit more snow moving down from NW. Not heavy, but may add an additional coating to and inch???
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
That is what remains of the merged arctic boundary and inverted trough. Will be a running board for whatever moisture is left.
Snow accumulation for the period from 1 PM today to 1 AM Sunday.
https://www.weather.gov/images/box/winter/StormTotalSnow.jpg
Those echoes look like they mean business to the South of the city.
Pittsfield, MA -1
It’s about time that eastern sections get the bulk of the snow, for a change.
Haha! 🙂
That’s already happened a few times this winter.
While shoveling (it didn’t take long..snow is so fluffy and I leave the driveway to my son) the sun poke through for a few minutes. With the 4.5 inches measured at the end of the last shoveling session I just measured another 1.5…looks 6 here.
Holy mackerel the snow piled up quick with this last round. My son attempted to go out and quickly returned after the car in front of him slid into a snowbank. Hearing the roads are a mess.
Oh dear. Very wise for him to head back home. Glad he is safe.
Good move.
They are
We are down to 19 from a 25 high for the day
Flurries still. Temp is 24F and has not started to drop yet.
Down to 27 in Padanaram – measured 2.5 inches but still coming down hard. Plus I feel there may have been a touch of melting when it was 33 earlier. Snow so easy to shovel compared to two weeks ago
I went out and cleaned up and measured 4 inches. That’s all folks!!
When I was done, it started snowing again. All that I cleared is now covered with a solid dusting and still snowing.
You still have about another 1/2 inch to go from the arctic boundary / inverted trough merger, coming through now.
Just about. 4 1/2 inches total.
Wishing the Pats the best tomorrow. My wife found this.
I like it. Hope you do, IF you haven’t seen it already

Very cool. They all we got. They all we need. ❤️
Snowing like crazy here! Doesn’t want to quit.
The last hurrah coming through now.
The caboose! ❄️ 🙂
I wonder if any location received 18”?
A foot and a half
High report so far, as I stated, is 13 inches at Hamilton MA, also matched by Salisbury.
Yes, I see it. That was at 1:18 pm.
Some light snow has returned here in the past 20 minutes…
I would say that the Arctic “air” has arrived. Snow is winding down and blowing around. ❄️
It took 12 days of a lot of sun to maybe make the snow pack melt/sublimate by 20-30% of what the big storm dumped and after today, we have it all back and maybe a bit more. 🙂
Agree
Huge difference from Boston to down here . Snow covered roads down here & I just got in from snow blowing ( about 6 inches ) cruising home through Boston & Dorchester no issues & bare pavement.
Not weather related but Fox is back on FIOS
Is that Verizon?
Yes
Yay. Thank you although I rarely watch except for sports
Plymouth county is having a pretty good winter snow wise
Wind is starting
