SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS — A classic late-winter nor’easter is crawling up the East Coast, already delivering 13 to 14 inches of snow across parts of southeast Massachusetts, with additional accumulation possible as the storm continues to slowly pivot offshore.
Radar imagery shows a well-defined coastal low parked just east of southern New England, with bands of moderate to heavy snow wrapping inland across Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and portions of eastern New York.
Coastal Low Crawling, Not Racing
Unlike fast-moving winter systems, this storm is moving at a sluggish pace. The low-pressure center remains offshore but close enough to maintain steady onshore flow and continuous snowfall.
The radar presentation highlights:
- A tight low-pressure circulation southeast of Massachusetts
- Heavy snow bands arcing inland across southeastern Massachusetts
- Broader precipitation shield extending into Connecticut and upstate New York
The storm’s slow movement is allowing snowfall totals to steadily climb rather than ending quickly.
