No polar winds; no freezing rain; no blowing snow — what is this, summer? Solid 1.5+ in #Malden Plow time @1degreeoutside.com @petebouchard.bsky.social @efisherwx.bsky.social @tevinwooten.bsky.social @nestormcenter.bsky.social @weatherken.bsky.social @terrywbz.bsky.social @maremizera.bsky.social

Ocean-effect snow continues to stream into eastern Massachusetts this afternoon. The combination of ocean-enhanced moisture, an inverted trough and an Arctic cold front has led to this interesting little storm. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx #NHwx

Word of the day
