"Don’t do it" 2026 Blizzard obs, updates and pictures.

[WxWatcher007]

6" report in New London. 5.5" on the other side of the state near Greenwich. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Not doing much 

[CoastalWx]

Finally flaking. About the start time it looked like early this morning be maybe slightly earlier. Gonna take a bit to be steady. Radar looks decent here after 11. 

[DomNH]

Good luck to everyone that is going to stay up to watch this thing. Looking forward to reading the PBP in the morning after I look outside at 4'' of wind blown baking soda.

Greenwich about to crush another 2-3" this hour

[CoastalWx]

Wind picking up good.

[Hoth]

Convective stuff south of OKX. Have to say I'm pretty happy with the way this looks down here.

[Spanks45]

4" and still coming down at around an inch per hr...wind is beginning to pickup

That band just exploded. I'm jealous.

Flakes coming down in fits and starts, struggling to get going. Dry air still doing a good number in Boston

Same here in Greenfield. Bursts of heavier snow with the wind gusts but otherwise light Arctic powder.  Although intensity has picked up here the past 10 minutes.
30/25 so definitely some dry air.  
solid coating on the cars now.

As long as we can avoid that disaster on the models evaporating the banding, we should be in business. The best is yet to come. I think.

Hopefully that banding gets up here since it's just beginning to bomb out...not like it's mature yet.

CNE/NNE 4/1/97 vibes, just way way SE and less

[tavwtby]

eyeballing about 4" and choking flakes right now, hopefully this rate continues for a grip and I'll definitely hit at least a foot here, good luck all I'm falling out soon...

CNE crushed in that, too. It was NNE that was left out.

I don’t really see a mechanism why that banding would get eroded?

Just went out and measured again.  6" on the money. Absolutely puking snow!! Power flickered a couple of times too.

.5" Plymouth.  literally drove to PSM to see some bands that night (music) , in and out of the blizzard

[tavwtby]

looking like the western extent of the goods is about the HRV, bands seem to die out there

Def. up there, yea.

Interested to see how much difficulty it has starting....usually the degree of ease with which it starts kind of correlates with how well you do.

[ORH_wxman]

Moderate snow with excellent snow growth right now 

[ma blizzard]

starting to really pick up, easily moderate snow 

0.6" 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Incoming 2-4"er per hour for SWCT

that's a good point, between that and stuck between banding can be a death knell

Fronto breaks down and shifts ENE with the waa….NYC/CT wants to keep that going as long as possible. But models may be breaking it down too early.

Still S+ over NJ but the main band on DIX radar has weakened a bit.

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr beefed up. Not sure wtf forming that, but having a hard time seeing that go to shit.

I can kind of see a path to us doing well if that band doesn't erode.

Yea, mid levels dictate all of that...just have to watch and wait to see.
