Happy meteorological spring! Yes, March does bring snow, BUT here are the 12/1-2/28 snow totals.
- #Boston: 60.9" (avg. 32.8")
- Milton: 78.6" (avg. 44.1")
- Providence: 68.5" (avg. 26.7")
- Worcester: 76.8" (avg. 45")
Nearly double for some spots!

Monday might be the last freezing day of winter for #Boston and most of Southern New England. Warming trend on the horizon with the first half of March likely much warmer than average across #NewEngland
#mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com
Quick peek forward. Light snow coming Sunday morning, most see a coating, but a few spots can pick up an inch or two.
#mawx #nhwx #riwx #mewx #vtwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com
67.8" of snow this winter for #Providence, 2nd highest ever total before Feb. 25 in a season. Only 1995-1996 had 77" before Feb. 25 AND had another 28" fall after that date. Wow.

Frontogensis draped across the jackpot zone. This is where the atmosphere squeezed so hard to drop 4"/hr snowfall rates.

3' of snow in parts of RI & SE Mass. How?
A late shift east + frontogenesis + instability = long-standing snow band of 6+ hours.
The science behind how we got to historic jackpot snow totals 6" more than any forecast.

A bit more snow is entering New England on Wednesday morning, but held north and west of the jackpot zone of the Blizzard of '26. This clipper will be in and out in a hurry, but a wet commute on Wednesday.
#mawx #nhwx #riwx #boston #newengland @bostonglobe.com
Top 10 snow totals across MA & RI from #Blizzardof26.
Multiple new storm snowfall records were set for some of the top-10 locations. Keep in mind, some spots don't have stations & are spotter submissions, but probably are new records.
#mawx #riwx #noreaster @bostonglobe.com
Wow. #tfgreen hit 37.9" - just a hair below the all-time snow storm record in Rhode Island. .1" below the 38" set in Woonsocket from Blizzard of '78.
#mawx #riwx #noreaster #rhodeisland @bostonglobe.com
Blizzard of '26, a clone of Blizzard of '78? It's close.
'78 top snow totals: 36" in MA, 38" in RI
'26 top snow totals: 31" in MA, 36.2" in RI
Lowest pressure: '26 = 968 mb, '79 955.5
'78 wins, but barely. Both near exact storm track. Wow.
#mawx #riwx #blizzard #noreaster @bostonglobe.com
And now #Massachusetts joins the club. A new state record for 24-hour snow total as Somerset passes 31".
The previous record was 29" in 24 hours in Natick (4/1/1997)
#mawx #boston #noreaster @bostonglobe.com
Coming up next. Likely new record for 24-hr snow total in Massachusetts.
Somerset sits at 28.7". The standing record is 29" in Natick, set back on 4/1/97.
#mawx #noreaster #blizzard @bostonglobe.com
Ok, so this bomb cyclone sits at 968 mb. Blizzard of '78 dropped to 955.5 mb, and Storm of the Century 1993 dropped to 960 mb. This will be an all-timer.
#mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com
Well that didn't last long. A new new state record at T.F. Green airport - 32.8" and climbing!!
This jumps over the previous 24-hr snow total record (Woonsocket - 30") set back during the Blizzard of '78
#riwx @bostonglobe.com
New state 24-hr snow total record for #RhodeIsland. Warwick reached 31.5", passing Woonsocket's 30" total from the Blizzard of '78! Wild. One or two local totals can reach 3 feet in Rhode Island/Southeast Mass. Wow.
#mawx #riwx #noreaster #blizzardof26 @bostonglobe.com
Officially a blizzard for many spots of Southern New England. NWS released the list a bit ago:
#mawx #riwx #ctwx @bostonglobe.com
Tracking records: The highest 24-hr snow totals for each sit at the following, with our current 24-hr totals as of 10 a.m.:

Pretty cool 😎

Power outages as of 8 a.m. Going to get a bit worse before it gets better.
#mawx #ctwx #riwx #blizzard #noreaster @bostonglobe.com
Updated forecast snow totals, what we've seen so far, and max wind gusts. Storm tugged slightly east overnight, bringing totals east & the slightest ever drop in snow totals.
Max wind gusts 70+ along the Cape. 19" in South Kingstown, RI. #mawx #ctwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com
We have reached bombogenesis with this nor'easter. The central pressure for this nor'easter sits at 972 millibars, dropping 26 millibars within 12 hours, and 37 millibars in about 20 hours.
You can see the resemblance of an eye!
#mawx #riwx #boston #noreaster @bostonglobe.com
Pssst. Guess what? Throw THUNDERSNOW into the mix! Strong frontogenesis will create so much lift that you may see flashes of lightning and rumbles late Sunday night and into Monday morning.
#mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston #noreater #thundersnow @bostonglobe.com
*UPDATE* Major confidence in multiple snow bands as a narrow surface front develops along the south coast (purple shading) & sparks *multiple* heavy snow bands over SE Mass (& spreads throughout Mass/RI/CT).
24-30" jackpot totals, folks.
#mawx #ctwx #riwx #boston @bostonglobe.com
Morning IR sat rad.

It's storm-day. Nor'easter is coming together & will push into Southeastern New England later this afternoon and evening.
Thinking 12-18" for Boston, Worcester, Providence, Hartford, with isolated to scattered totals up to 20-22" Wet snow sinks a bit.
#mawx #nhwx #riwx @bostonglobe.com
With blizzard warnings in place. Here's the parameters for this storm to become a blizzard:
- for starters, we need snow
- then sustained winds of 35 mph
- low visibility of 1/4 mile or less
- all the above for 3 hours or longer.
#mawx #riwx #ctwx #boston @bostonglobe.com
Nor'easter incoming. Late Sun. through Mon. night.
Coastal storm strengthens as it marches towards New England, near the sweet spot to produce strong wind & snow. Blizzard conditions. Wind gusts to 50-70 mph. Jackpot totals of 12-18" w/ iso. to 20-22"
