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?

Gorgeous on GOES. That center is unbelievable!

Any idea how much further N/W the RI death band gets?

I have a traffic light .3 miles from me that isn't visible anymore. Visibility is waaaay down...maybe approaching blizzard conditions here.

Man, I hope the outage tracker website is wrong--it has almost 40% on the cape without power.

I like how this site breaks it down by county. Over 20% of Nantucket without power, according to this. https://poweroutage.us/area/state/massachusetts

Good morning from my south facing window. Central MA. Moderate snow, but just on the edge of the heavier band trying to push north of the turnpike. Winds have been moderate with some stronger gusts. Eyeball's guess is that there's maybe 6" out there so far.

Wind is really picking up now in central MA. Will be a good test for my neighbor's dubiously constructed / installed flagpole 50 feet from my window. In these stronger gusts, the top of the pole is almost a foot away from where it should be.

Look at that eye starting to form...where is the center compared to what was forecast?
