Just north of it, yes.

Temps were borderline for ice here. You can tell by the amount of drippy icicles on everything, rather than a thicker radial coating.

31F and light freezing rain. Must have gotten a batch of heavy freezing rain last night though. All the tree branches have that grey haze of ice on the branches, and my 7 ft holly bush is so heavy with ice that it's drooping halfway over.

That's a pretty beefy band of precip just north of the pike west or Worcester. Could have some moderate icing if that all falls in as freezing rain when it gets here.

31 F and pure freezing rain here. Ice is starting to accumulate on branches. Hoping we don't stay all ice. 10PM BOX maps have me at 20-30% chance of getting over .5" of ice accumulation.

Down to 33F in Central MA...was 44 at midday here

Sorry to be a buzzkill, but I'll take a hard pass on that much freezing rain.

And this was with Cat 1 winds and without fully leafed trees. Not that it can get much worse for the Cape itself...but makes you wonder how further inland might fare in a Cat 2 hurricane when the trees are fully leafed out.

Historic, indeed. https://www.wcvb.com/article/blizzard-prompts-boston-globe-management-to-call-off-printing-paper-for-first-time-in-153-years/70475083

If he got stuck in the snow hole, we'll never hear the end of it.

I'm right at the edge of the western edge of the death band, and the winds are really howling. Maybe the strongest so far.

At least the state was at least smart enough to pre-position a lot of resources down that way. Hopefully that helps with restoration.

A bit short on the 35 mph sustained winds, but Worcester Airport is reporting visibility of .25 miles for 6 consecutive hours. I'm not far from there, and we've had consistent, moderate snow here. Not sure where the freezing fog is coming from. Maybe snow covered sensors?
