Heavy, wet snow pasted large parts of the interior Northeast in what has easily become the biggest winter storm of the season.
Peak gusts near Boston and New York City were around 45 to 50 mph. Gusts topped 50 mph in Atlantic City, Baltimore and Provincetown on Cape Cod. In places that saw heavy snow accumulation, winds mainly topped out in the 40 to 50 mph range.through late this week in parts of southeast Massachusetts and Rhode Island, including the Pawtuxet River near Providence. As much as 2.5 to three inches of rain fell in these areas before a changeover to snow late Tuesday.
While accumulating snow has largely wound down, periodic snow showers remain possible in New England through Wednesday amid temperatures reaching highs in the 30s to around 40. Some spots will only see an additional half-inch or so of snowfall, while mountains in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine could still pick up a few more inches.. This could lead to some additional outages in areas where heavy snow fell.
A brief warm up — and some rain — the next several days should melt off a good deal of the snow. Colder-than-normal air returns next week, and some models are hinting at the potential for another coastal storm around midweek, but forecast uncertainty is very high that far out.
