looking up New England snowstorms, I found the third largest snowstorm Boston has gotten was on April 1. 25 inches. The season had 26 inches of snow so far. Two days previous, it was 63°F in Boston. Inland, Worcester got 33 inches of snow.

It's possible it will beat the record. Outside of Boston, there'll probably be somewhere up in the hills that will be over 27 inches, the question will be how widespread it is.

Storm started almost 2 hours ago here, but snow has been light. We haven't gotten more than an inch yet. Up to 30°F right now (as of 11 am), luckily it's not supposed to get any warmer so rain won't mess anything up.

Well I think it amazing how 30 inches of snow can be dropped in 24 hours.

I am going to keep the webcam on at new york city to see the snow when it starts to get heavy.

Cold, Arctic air spilling southwards behind a strong 1038 mb high over Canada will collide with warm, moist air over the Atlantic, where ocean temperatures are unusually warm--about 5°F warmer than average over a large swath from New Jersey to Nantucket, Massachusetts. The contrast between the cold and warm air will help intensify the storm, and the unusually warm waters will pump large quantities of moisture into the air, which will be capable of feeding record-breaking snows over New England. The latest NWS forecast for Boston calls for 22 - 30" of snow by Saturday morning, with additional snows though Saturday afternoon.
