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

[ORH_wxman]

That mini dryslot filled in quick for eastern areas. Crazy how just when it was lightening up, now it’s completely choking flakes again. This has been a really fun storm.

This has been a pretty constant dumping. Snow is so light it’s just rolling off the roof and piling up at the front door…2015 style.

Thinking we’re probably over 20 now.

Yea I was just out snow blowing. It’s incredible out.

Easily near 20”. Wind is ripping too.

Amazing storm.

We're not getting big rates, but the snow growth is excellent right now. 

Up to 3.9" 

Snowing at 1.4/-2

[weathafella]

I just measured 14.5.  Tough with all the drifting so it might’ve somewhat low but there’s a big difference in impact from 6-10 and 12+. It’s accumulating with heavy snow now backing down to moderate with smallish flakes.  Blowing and drifting all over the place.  I noticed BOS had 10.5 about 4 hours ago so I expect the next measurement to be 15+.

0z GFS close to doing this all over again next weekend 

[wx2fish]

Much better growth. Last check before bed, 14.5".

Clean up time. Neighbor started doing his thing. He said he would be over in the morning. Great guy

Spins a miller A storm out of what seems like nothing - a little offshore, but down to the 960's!

Now that we got a huge moisture thump I would love a classic Nor'easter with moving drifts, howling winds, and heavy heavy snow rates

Actually the Euro, ICON, and CMC all have some version of this same storm - but vary widely on if it is offshore or over land

It's been snowing hard for hours and hours, so yeah fun storm.   Still snowing hard here with a little more to come.  We'll end with somewhere between 14" - 18" in Greenfield.   Getting some blowing and drifting now.

This storm is going to regenerate the weather hatred for our region.

Not really Weathafella! We love SNE/NE and we are glad you got real snow! Enjoy it!

I have always loved you guys ever since 2000. Love that region. I am getting OLD now but one day I just might visit during a big snow.

[ineedsnow]

[weathafella]

Ramping back up with good growth now.  Final push of the waa snows.  Hopefully tomorrow produces.  I’ll be heading out of town next weekend for 3-4 weeks so unless we have a good March this could be it for me.
