All Activity

Is it just me or does he sound excited and exhausted at the same time.

Dusted with 0.2" at ORD on Saturday evening... …2025/26 Season Snowfall... 32.3" - ORD 24.0" - RFD

That's a pretty good list for 10 years!

I also measured 6" in Easthampton

I think I used to have an account over there. Lots of Northeast chatter, but they post good maps and have good discussions. .

One last note, these big big snow storms are such an event. There were lots of people out walking around town, just taking it in. Every snow shoveler you pass will stop and chat, if only to take a break. I see people helping each other out. I see community. It's frighteningly rare.

While an el nino makes miller a coastal storms that drop copious amounts of qpf over us more likely due to a more active STJ, it is no guarantee we get a MECS+. It could just be rain, like 97-98. We could get nothing, like 72-73. Or we might just get a couple of NS systems and the rest is torch, like 23-24. It does increase our chances, but we need cold air, blocking, and polar jet and all the ingredients. Active STJ is only one of many ingredients.

If you didn't see it before, I will post is again. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOSTON/NORTON, MA 700 PM EST MON FEB 23 2026 ...RECORD SNOWSTORM FOR PROVIDENCE RI... THE BLIZZARD OF 2026 BROKE SEVERAL SNOWFALL RECORDS AT RHODE ISLAND T.F.

A FINAL UPDATE WILL BE SENT JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT.

Just finished the district basketball tournament here at Mtown East. The East high girls defeated Science Hill at East for the district championship, yay Lady Canes! Walked outside, and yep, it’s snowing again here too and trying to lay down another dusting.

Thanks. There was still 4” in places that were bare ground at the start when I got home this evening so that sounds about right. Upper MoCo could not have looked more different than DC at 6pm. Different world.

What did the central pressure for this storm bottom out at? I can't find the number.

We suck at snow these days no matter wether it's a Nino or Nina. I don't think turning on a Nino is going to automatically fix that lol

Congrats Anthony, thanks for your efforts Rodger!

It is coming down pretty solidly at the moment. Have a good dusting on everything now. Only 40 more inches to match Rhode Island.

As FYI that 16 for Easton was my measurement / submission.

I dont want to burst your bubble, but we just had a Nino 2 years ago and we were barely able to record a below freezing overnight low. I think I got like 2".

Usawx. A lot of good mets over there. A lot of guys have profiles here as well.

Why would it be less? If you didn't clear more than 6hrly its fine. if you did it that way it would be more, not less than the depth at the end

Agree. Had a total of 0.85 (0.62 as rain and 0.23 melted snow) in Pasadena, which was below most modeled guidance. Seems like it has been at least a year that we have been on average busting much low during most storms/rainfall events that modeled guidance suggests.

Honestly this is not snark...what is the point of adding a decimal to a number you've already said was going to be next to impossible to truly measure?

Incredible seeing the totals out of RI and SE Mass with this one. I was on the winter desk the entire storm at WPC and the forecasts I generated prior to the storm were consistently 30+ inches across that area. My highest forecast point was 34.2” and that even got beat. Incredible storm up there. Congrats to all who cashed big time. One for the record books and one for the memory bank. I’ll always remember my chase to Waltham in Feb 2013. Still one of the greatest storms I’ve ever witnessed and probably the second best pure blizzard I’ve ever seen (Feb 9-10, 2010 back home in Baltimore). Good luck in the dig up there and enjoy the rest of this winter!

Just got in from the basketball tournament. Light snow is still falling here. It's been snowing for something like 36 hours straight now, even if it hasn't amounted to a ton.

Could def be legit though.

Good point. I need to spend more time diving through your archives. Phenomenal resource.

Those Fall River pics remind me of some that I’ve seen out of Woonsocket/vicinity from 1978.
