    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?

    Marco looks prepped to be honorary goalie for 10 seconds...before being pulled off the ice in favor of an empty net.

    Latest WSSI pushes extreme impacts back to Worcester

    20F here. Moderate snow, but not much wind yet. North of Worcester, just east of Indian Hill. Sitting right on the northern edge of that heavy band.

    Going to get interesting on 395. That band looks like it means business. Too bad the real goods are staying just south of me.

    I don't think they even had a WWA posted for that area last night, did they?

    Natural gas had a huge spike, too. Thankfully it's come down a bit. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/26/us-natural-gas-prices-snow-ice-winter-storm-fern.html

    I was getting pretty stressed out reading the public freakout posts from the fella that wasn't going to be here for the storm for the last few days. Hopefully he will be back in time for this one lol.

    A bit breezy with light, yet steady flurries here. Eyeballing around 18-20", but may be a little higher. There's a LOT of drifting. Glad it's supposed to get into the 20s today to clear out. Great storm, aside from some mild frustration about inefficient growth.

    This band headed into Worcester County looks like it's got some oomph to it.

    Latest BOX map for expected snowfall 7pm tonight to 7pm tomorrow.

    Wait, the pic of the weinermobiles on a racetrack posted earlier wasn't some kind of ai generated meme? I can't tell if I preferred knowing or not knowing the truth about that. https://apnews.com/article/indianapolis-500-wienermobile-race-aaf5de7fdd08d8fc4e4d9be09f350de5

    Walkway was shoveled less than two hours ago, and filling in again nicely. Part new accumulation, part drifting. Wind is picking up a bit, and the snow blowing off the roof sounds like granulated sugar. You can even see sparkles in the pic...

    Really fine powder here, and it's warmest we've been all storm at 7F. Coming down really heavy and visibility is less than 1/2 mile...but slow to put on inches. Maybe 8" total, eyeballing it.

    I thought so too. I lived in an area very hard hit and was without power for about a week after that ice storm in Worc county. Had to drive out first thing that next morning, and I was driving over small trees. Glad I had a Jeep back then. My CRV wouldn't have made it.

    Surpassed 1M total power outages nationwide. At least according to this source https://poweroutage.us/

    It's been interesting watching that coastal front come on shore with those heavier snow bands are pushing through in the opposite direction. The CF is kind of getting lost in the last few frames so it's hard to tell what is happening with it...at least looking at radar.

    Really heavy band here in central MA right now. Curious how much it puts down because accums here so far haven't piled up too fast. A lot of powdery flakes, with a few really big ones mixing in right now
  22. wx_observer
    That would be a disaster up here...it's bordering on catastrophic for a southern state that doesn't get much wintry precip.
  23. wx_observer
    About an hour or so since first wispy flakes. Went to go make some brownie cookies and now we have really fine powder coming down, and a fine dusting on the ground. 3F.
  24. wx_observer
    First wispy flakes here @ border of northern and southern Worcester County.

    Latest WSSI map has a pretty large swath of extreme impacts in MA. A bit suspect that it cuts off so cleanly at the NH border though.
