Well that was something! But it's all over but the shoveling, at least inside 128, right? Um, we might see some more snow Weds., doesn't sound like much, but given how much is already on the ground, even a little is too much, so we're only going down to 3 Slices for now. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Gov. Healey just banned road traffic in Bristol, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties due to the blizzard and dangerous road conditions - so let's hope that guy driving around Sandwich in his 4WD Ford Maverick is back home.

My wife got started with the snowblower in the driveway @universalhub.com

Storm fury: WFXT's Bob Ward is in front of a Dunkin' Donuts in Franklin that is closed.

Reporter down! WHDH's Rob Way, in Marshfield had planted a yardstick in the snow, got out his plastic trash bag to show the wind's fury and then he went one step too far: He started clomping in the snow to show how deep it was, a gust came up and boom, down he went.

Currently 266,091 homes and businesses without power across Massachusetts poweroutage.us/area/state/m...

We can has bombogenesis? We're Frenchtoastologists, not meteorologists, but it seems bad when a winter storm develops an eye, no?

@bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social literal whiteout conditions outside, eating this inside.

It's pretty, at least www.universalhub.com/2026/its-pre...

We're doomed: Jim Cantore is in Plymouth weather.com/forecast/vid... #Massachusetts

On a related note, does anyone else think the city's voice message sounded like 'Boston Mayor Marty Walsh' recorded it?

How serious an emergency? Both governor and #Boston mayor are in fleeces today.

Healey: State of emergency in effect immediately. The Bunka has been activated. She's in a MEMA fleece. Non-critical state workers will work at home Mon. "This is one to take seriously:" Likely widespread power outages, downed trees, heavy snow, just stay off the roads. #Massachusetts

And now we wait ... To see if Harvard, which stayed open in the January storm, will be closed tomorrow. Waiting for the governor's 1 p.m. update?

Wu just now: Snow emergency, you bet. Storm of potentially "historic proportions." Kids: No school on Mon. City offices, libraries closed. Trash pickup delayed 1 day. www.universalhub.com/2026/snow-em... #Boston

Wow: NWS gets "bombogenesis" and "40/70 Benchmark" in a single sentence, a sentence that ends in an exclamation point, so we know we're in for it, even if we don't know what "forcing for ascent" is (sure, we could look it up, but we are shook) 1/2

Heavy snowfall (10-20 i.!), wind gusts up to 60mph, power outages, coastal flooding (stay off Long Wharf!) and references to the dreaded 40/70 Benchmark! Starting late Sun. or early Mon. Head out now, with grim determination, to fill your trunk with bread, eggs and milk! bostonfrenchtoast.com

With Jeremy Reiner now calling for a "nasty nor'easter" that will "wallop the area" with 10-15" and wind gusts up to 60 m.p.h. Sun-Mon., we've just raised the Alert to 4 Slices/High. Time to lay in those provisions for the storm ahead. bostonfrenchtoast.com

also...wankum just now announcing that sunday-monday storm is jogging west, looks like nor'easter...

Um, guys? We live south of the turnpike, where we were supposed to start with rain, but that looks suspiciously like snow ...

2:40 p.m. update from NWS: "Coastal storm late Sunday-Monday more than likely to miss or just brush southern New England but too soon to rule out a more high impact outcome."

Had been looking like the Sunday mega'easter was going to mostly miss us, but now NWS says models are showing "a greater chance for widespread snowfall and coastal flood impacts." Still not enough to raise the Alert to true panic levels, but obviously we'll keep you posted! bostonfrenchtoast.com

Giganto'easter Sun. into Mon.? NWS says it's looking like it'll be out to sea, but we won't really get a better idea until tomorrow sometime. So sticking at 3 Slices for now, but we've got our eye to the sky (but watch out for some snow this afternoon and more on Fri.) bostonfrenchtoast.com

Touch of possible snow today, meh. But NBC Boston says we could see 1-3" from another storm Weds., and not the light, powdery stuff we've gotten used to, but wet, heavy snow. And then, "a few inches are possible" Fri. into Sat., with more possible after that! Definite 3 Slicer. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS has "increased confidence" in some light snow Tues. afternoon into Wed., with a slight chance of more snow Wed. night. But this is a "clipper" storm, not a nor'easter, so no 40/70 Benchmarkitude, no heavy snows, nothing that might attract the attention of Jim Cantore. bostonfrenchtoast.com

COLD

NWS says we could see 2 to 3 inches of new snow this weekend, but that the real issue is "dangerously cold wind chills." So bundle up. And throw some egg-and-milked-up bread on the griddle.

Have gone down to 2 Slices/Guarded now that the forecast shows the Sunday bombostorm heading well enough out to sea we won't get much snow (although some coastal flooding still possible). Good news if you haven't gone on a fixins replenishment run, since it's cold out there! bostonfrenchtoast.com

/ BOSTON U ENDED UP W/ / ~19 INCH OF THE FOOLISH WHITE STUFF / BUT NOW / ITS TIME / 2 GET COLD / & PERHAPS MOAR SNOWBLOBS NEXT WEEKEND? ;) / NO1 KNOWS WICH WAY UR WEATHER LORDS WILL BLOW / REPENT 2 UR WEATHER LORDS / REPENT

#Boston snow emergency to end at 8 p.m.; no school for BPS kids tomorrow www.universalhub.com/2026/boston-...

We've gone down to 3 Slices/Elevated, and will probably take it down a notch later. But NWS has us concerned about this coming weekend: "We continue to monitor a potential storm off the coast toward next weekend. Can we make it 3 sunday coastal storms in a row? We'll see!" bostonfrenchtoast.com

A day like today calls for more than just a couple slices. www.universalhub.com/2026/day-tod... #Boston #snow #FrenchToast

Governor in The Bunkah! Went with a MEMA fleece rather than a cardigan. #Boston #Framingham #snow

Where the snow's coming from - wait, where'd New England go? www.universalhub.com/2026/where-s... #Boston #snow

Yes, a bit late perhaps, but we've gone to 5 Slices / Severe. No, won't be a blizzard, but the NWS is now predicting 18-20 for Boston, the very heart of the Greater French Toast Region. And the governor is heading to The Bunker! At least for a 12:30 p.m. press conference. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS still talking 12-18 in. for us. BUT, they now add: "And given how dynamic the system is, thundersnow is a possibility, cue the excitement!" We'll do one better! We'll cue Jim Cantore reporting from Plymouth in 2015: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ezcl... So we're still at 4 Slices/High.

#Boston snow emergency goes into effect Sunday morning, so get those space savers ready (and BPS kids: No school Monday) www.universalhub.com/2026/boston-...

The bread is the first to go www.universalhub.com/2026/bread-f... #snow #Wegmans #Westwood #FrenchToast

OK, so not a blizzard. But a foot (or more!) with temperatures in the single digits? You are NOT going to want to go out and you ARE going to want to stay home. You need to clear out space in your pantry/refrigerator now and rush to the store, while there's still time. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Sunday's storm won't be a '78/2015 blizzard, not a lot of wind to create megadrifts, but with temps barely breaking 0 (yep), it's not going to melt and you might have trouble getting out for all the fixins because your car won't start. So go out today bostonfrenchtoast.com

So, megahumungous storm developing this weekend. Staying at 2 Slices/Guarded for now, because NWS models are very conflicted about whether it will bombogenize over the dreaded 40/70 Benchmark and slam us. We'll keep you posted, natch. bostonfrenchtoast.com

The bulk of the snow is done (might be a flurry or two), but we're only going down to 2 Slices/Guarded, NWS says something might be brewing for *next* weekend. Or maybe not. Traditional models say bone-chilling cold. AI models say maybe a coastal storm. Which to believe? bostonfrenchtoast.com

The breakfast of snow champions: When Rob Adams woke up in a snowy Eastie, he knew there was only one thing to make. www.universalhub.com/2026/breakfa... #Boston

NWS now says we could see 2 to 6 inches, with 7 inches in some spots, with the worst of it between 5 p.m. and 1 a.m. on Monday. bostonfrenchtoast.com #Boston #snow #FrenchToast

NWS now mentioning the dreaded 40/70 Benchmark, the Sunday storm will pass just SE of it, so no 2015 replay, but enough snow you probably want to be inside from late morn to 11pm or so. Double check your fixins and head out now or first thing in the AM. 3 Slices/Elevated bostonfrenchtoast.com

Latest NWS forecast mentions possible "plowable snowfall" on Sun. Also says, possible nothing. But now we're thinking of a nice warm batch of French toast, slathered in butter and right mapley goodness after we've shoveled our mountain pass, so we've gone to 2 Slices/Guarded. bostonfrenchtoast.com

"The threat for an impactful coastal storm late in the week has diminished," NWS says. Latest models agree the Thurs/Fri lowwill pass well south of 40/70, which means any snowstormishness would be in northern New England, so nowhere near the Greater French Toast Region. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Storm by Friday? NWS is unsure this early in the week on what will actually happen. In fact, says current models "indicate the low moving across anywhere from NW MA, SE MA, or completely offshore." So snowmageddon, rain or nothing at all. But we'll keep you posted. bostonfrenchtoast.com #Boston

Wait, we thought we were supposed to get some freezing rain, but that sure looks like snow - big, big, big flakes - outside the French Toast aerie on the Roslindale/Hyde Park frontier.

FIRST ALERT: A wintry mess is zeroing in on southern New England this evening. Here's what to expect where you live. on.nbcboston.com/X6qskyd
