1:56PM<\/p>\n
Storm has now pulled most of its snow right into eastern and parts of central MA and southeastern NH as well as eastern CT across RI. The heaviest snow band stretches from the NH Seacoast down through eastern MA including Boston. This band will vary and wobbled around a little as it slowly starts to weaken during the afternoon, and additional weaker bands may try to form into the evening but overall the entire system will begin its departure phase from now through around midnight or shortly after. Another band is still hanging around 495 to near Worcester but should weaken and pull eastward during the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Additional accumulations of 3-6 inches are possible under the heaviest bands, with lighter amounts elsewhere where snow continues to fall. This results in total storm accumulations in the 18-25 inch range in many areas but pockets of 25-33 inch amounts in some locations including the 495 belt NW of Boston down through the Worcester area into the far southwestern suburbs of Boston, and in some sections of northeastern MA from Cape Ann down to near Boston and in parts of the South Shore. The 18-25 inch band will include most of Cape Cod except for lesser amounts on parts of the Outer Cape and down across the Islands.<\/p>\n
For this update I will post the forecast from before. An evening update will include a fully updated discussion and forecast with a better look at the weekend and early next week, which present a couple more snow threats.<\/p>\n
Heading outside to start moving some of the snow, with help thankfully. \ud83d\ude42 See you this evening!<\/p>\n
