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

[Roger Smith]

Nantucket 54SE buoy reports ENE 43 kt g 54 kt, 38F, 983 mbs and 18' wave heights ... the deepening (!) low will track just south of that location in about six or seven hours. That would suggest the 50-60 mph winds will be pushed up over southeast MA around that time, and could increase to 60-80 mph. There are going to be some brutal conditions in eastern MA, RI and se CT between now and about noon,

If you don't already have this bookmarked, here you go ...

Noted a pair of distinct bands already formed. One from eastern
Long Island to the south coast of MA/RI that appears to be
associated with deep frontogenesis in the 925-700 mb layer.
Thinking this band stays just southeast of the I-95 corridor
between Boston and Providence through mid morning, before
pivoting farther west into the late morning and afternoon. The
second band looked to be driven by a frontogentical band in the
850-700 mb layer, so not quite as intense but enough to lead to
localized enhancement of snowfall. This second band shifts east
through this afternoon as the offshore low pressure moves away
from our region.

I wouldn't be shocked if the two bands converge actually

But I do still need that band to rotate about 25-30 miles NW lol

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

[FXWX]

Zero chance of measuring snow accurately at my house...

[Spanks45]

Looks like an additional 4 to 5 inches since midnight, so close to 10 so far....

We dont do winds very well here, but the house has been creaking recently...
