Eastern Mass Gets Their Swag Back - SWFE on Steriods - Region wide Major Snowfall - Jan 25-26, 2026 Nowcast/Obs.

[Spanks45]

Flake size finally changed, moderate snow has arrived...8.2⁰

[Prismshine Productions]

6hr is the most frequent you can go. I only clear at the changeover if I know the snow is for sure done. 

I got to work seven hours this afternoon unfortunately so I am in a bit of a pickle on that (fuck you Dollar Tree for not cancelling work)

Guidance
is also indicating gusty winds arriving Sunday night,
especially over the southern waters, Cape and Islands. HREF
blizzard probs remain around 20%-30%, so low confidence in long-
duration blizzard conditions. However, can`t rule out periods of
short-lived white-out conditions.

Started out sandy, but now big fluff balls.  Light snow but approaching moderate.  10f.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Holy crap puking massive dendrites! 

[The 4 Seasons]

What a beast

I mean you can clear at 8, 12, or measure at the end too. 

[Kitz Craver]

That is some radar porn!

[Hoth]

Stepping up quickly. Gorgeous high-ratio fluff. Heading out for a run before it gets treacherous.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Ralphs Weather Obs out of Norwalk reports 30:1 ratios for the first 2 hours 

[TalcottWx]

Steady snow coming down, 7f.

Will be flirting with sleet penetration here towards the tail end 10pm-1am.

mod snow now, looks like nws pegged from RT 44/6 north with 20+, and there is thunder snow in the deep south, hopefully get to see that later, always a treat, not like catore elevations of estaticism but awesome nonetheless

who needs that when its snowing out, snows more important. 

seriously though that is what an old phone is great for, things like this. people dont think of that but when you get a new phone, keep the old one, its a great recording device or whatever for back up. 

I do have an older phone actually. Switched my gf to my phone plan so she got a new phone and gave me her older one. I just have to finish setting it up. Will be great for storm chasing because I can have one phone for radar and one for recording.

As always one of the best products to watch as an event is ongoing (besides radar)

[Sey-Mour Snow]

6.5 degrees and heavy snow is rare around here.

Light snow now. I cannot believe it’s snowing with that kind of dewpoint depression . True Arctic air just can’t hold moisture. It has to snow . A very special event is clearly unfolding for the region. 

Come early…stay late.   The big ones do this.

Hoping it stays just south or we just flirt with the line.

[WinterWolf]

Started at 7:45 here. Arctic sand for the first 10 minutes, then it went to fluffy Dendrites…moderate snow now and 8 degrees, with a dew point of 4 degrees. As I type we are pushing heavy snow now. Let’s do this. 

[Prismshine Productions]

I need to clear space because AmWx only allows 1MB storage.

Use Tapatalk, it circumvents around that cap

Yeah I’m hoping too. Would like 12z runs to show that.

Just enjoy now…it’s here and it’s gonna rip. Everybody is in on it. 20 burgers for most away from the water.

Yes please

[Baroclinic Zone]

Going same here as Scott’s range. My exact number is 16”.

 

[Prismshine Productions]

17-27"... Holy hell.

Keep in mind I have never seen numbers this big personally. I am in awe. Been up here two years, guess this is my "Welcome to New England" moment?

I mean, I don’t know what you could possibly be nit picking in a storm where you’ve got a 50/50 shot at getting 2’.

feel like any meaningful sleet will be south of here. Maybe when things lighten up, we got to some sleet/snizzle.
