A little later on I’ll post some links for storm totals and other information. Of course\u00a0 many of my readers do that for me in the comments section and I want to thank all of them and EVERYBODY for reading and commenting here!<\/p>\n
Just a short update here on what has happened (expand on this later) and then a look ahead to the next several says.<\/p>\n
SNOW: Winding down. Another 1-3 inches MA South Shore to Cape Cod which should bring the snow totals into the predicted range there. Big amounts many areas, 18-30+ inches fell and with a difficult storm to measure and all the reports still coming in, we’ll look at a full list when it becomes available. Another snow band to the west should weaken as it comes eastward but may produce a little more across the area before falling apart.<\/p>\n
WIND: Still NW 15-35 MPH and gusty with blowing & drifting snow through the afternoon.<\/p>\n
COASTAL FLOODING: The worst is passing, but hard hit areas including Hull, Scituate, Sandwich, among a few others. Will try to get more info on this as well. Despite a few areas seeing serious flooding, this is not even remotely close to the scope of what happened in 1978!<\/p>\n
POWER OUTAGES: The heavy wet snow for the first part of the storm resulted in big time power outages especially on the South Shore of MA. Hoping that everybody gets the power back as soon as possible!<\/p>\n
What’s coming up?<\/p>\n
This storm is about to depart and in its wake we can expect a very cold night tonight with the deep snowcover. Sunday will be a glorious sunny day and will feel “warmer” compared to today as there will be less wind along with the higher mid February sun angle. Much of the dig-out should be able to be completed during Sunday. Please use caution if you are shoveling!<\/p>\n
Early Week… Frontal system swings through Monday with a minor precipitation event.<\/p>\n
Mid Week… Watching a storm threat but for NOW going to lean toward it being out to sea.<\/p>\n
Late Week \/ Weekend… A brief break then a storm threat for the weekend. Too far away to even venture into any detail. We’ll just leave it at saying there is a possible storm to deal with at that time.<\/p>\n
Updated forecast for southeastern New England…<\/p>\n
THIS AFTERNOON: Snow winds down but lingers over the South Shore of MA for a while and Cape Cod & Nantucket longer where another 1-3 inches will fall. Sun may peak out. Temperatures holding in the upper teens and 20s. Wind NW 15-35 MPH with higher gusts, causing additional blowing and drifting snow.<\/p>\n
TONIGHT: Clearing. Stars will shine above a deep snow cover. Lows drop to near 0 remote suburbs to near 10 most areas. Diminishing NW wind.<\/p>\n
