The Blockbuster Major Nor’easter continues to be on course to slam
Southern New England with Heavy Snow, Pockets of Wind Damage, Blizzard
Conditions and the potential for Moderate Coastal Flooding. Blizzard
Warnings are now in effect from 1 AM to 7 PM Sunday for North-Central and
Northeast Connecticut, Rhode Island, South-Central, East and South
Coastal Massachusetts and interior Eastern Massachusetts from roughly the
Mass. Pike South. The Blizzard Warning now includes Southern Worcester
County Massachusetts. In the Blizzard Warning area, 10-18” of snow is
expected with the exception of Nantucket where 6-10” of snow is expected.
Winds will be sustained at 20-35 MPH with gusts to 50-55 MPH, except for
immediate southeast coastal areas where sustained winds of 30-40 MPH with
gusts to 60 MPH or more are possible. The Blizzard Warning area will be
the center of the worst conditions of heavy snow, visibilities near zero,
and pockets of wind damage.
A Heavy Snow Warning is now in effect for the remainder of Massachusetts,
Northwest Connecticut and Southwest New Hampshire from 1 AM to 7 PM
Sunday. In the Heavy Snow Waning area, snow is expected to accumulate
10-18” except for Southwest New Hampshire and Northwest Massachusetts
where 6-12” of snow is expected. In the Heavy Snow Warning area, winds
won’t be quite as strong so conditions may reach near blizzard conditions
but fall short of blizzard criteria. Nonetheless, considerable blowing
and/or drifting of snow are expected along with reduced visibility.
A Coastal Flood Watch remains in effect for East Coastal Massachusetts,
Cape Cod and Nantucket Island for the late Sunday Morning high tide.
Strong Northeast winds coupled with the high tide could result in a
moderate coastal flood event in this area. At this time, it is not clear
if several hours of onshore winds will pile seas and water high enough to
result in moderate coastal flooding and this is why the Coastal Flood
Watch remains in effect given that uncertainty. The situation continues
to be monitored closely.
Given that Blizzard Warnings are posted for a large portion of the
region, this major nor’easter will have the potential to knock out at
least minimal infrastructure in the region. It is hard to know how much
infrastructure will be affected but at least minimal parts of the
infrastructure will have the potential to be affected. Preparations to
protect life and property in and close to the Blizzard Warning area
should be completed by the end of tonight with necessary supplies brought
into homes prior to the storm. Given uncertainties on impact to
infrastructure, everyone should treat this like an exercise in personal
preparedness, being prepared to ride out a situation where loss of power
and issues could occur for a long period of time and if it does not
happen, those preparations have been made in case another storm threatens
in similar fashion. Have battery powered equipment and if you own a
generator have it ready for use in case it is needed. Travel should not
occur during the storm as it will be potentially life-threatening.
We would like as many Amateurs as possible to monitor their local SKYWARN
repeater and report snowfall, and damage at their locations. All SKYWARN
Spotters, Coordinators and Net Controls are urged to stand ready and be
prepared to forward significant reports to NWS Taunton. Please utilize
the following link for the latest frequency list:
http://users.rcn.com/rmacedo/freq.htm
Please note that the primary SKYWARN repeater for the Boston area will be
the 145.23-Boston Repeater along with the 145.47-Danvers Repeater and the
146.955-Westford Repeater to cover the remaining areas of Northeastern
Massachusetts. The 146.625-Haverhill Repeater will also be available for
use as required.
The VoIP New England Network will be utilized for this event. This is the
*NEW-ENG* conference server (Node #9123) and IRLP reflector 9058. The
backup will be the *WX-TALK*, Node 7203, IRLP Reflector 9219 system.
Blowing and drifting snow will be a huge problem for measurements so
spotters are asked to do the best they can to measure the snowfall and
use various techniques to get the best measurement possible. Make sure to
clear snow from past storms away from your snow measuring areas so old
snow is not measured with new snowfall. Also, be ready to report
wind/snow damage, power outages and coastal flooding to NWS Taunton
during this event. Snowfall could fall at a rate of 3 inches per hour.
Snowfall every 2" could occur on a rapid basis so it will be important to
get frequent snowfall totals via the SKYWARN Nets. Given the threat to
infrastructure, nets will be active with Hams monitoring the situation.
Non-Ham spotters are encouraged to use the online web form for reporting
as well as the spotter line when needed.
SKYWARN Formal Activation with Ops at NWS Taunton will commence around 5
AM Sunday Morning based on latest guidance from NWS Taunton. ARES/RACES
Groups in the Blizzard Warning area should closely monitor the situation
and consult advice from their leadership as required.
This will be the last complete Blizzard Coordination Message to be issued
on this event as we move into operations mode. Short updates will be
issued to the email list if time allows. Below are the Blizzard/Heavy
Snow Warning Statement, Coastal Flood Watch Statement and Hazardous
Weather Outlook from NWS Taunton:

...COASTAL FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY MORNING
THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
THIS INCLUDES THE ENTIRE EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS COASTLINE FROM THE
MERRIMACK RIVER SOUTH TO NANTUCKET.
LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS LATE SATURDAY WILL INTENSIFY RAPIDLY INTO
A POWERFUL STORM TONIGHT AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST...PASSING EAST OF THE
NEW JERSEY COAST BY DAYBREAK SUNDAY. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
INTENSIFY SUNDAY AS IT TRACKS ABOUT 95 MILES SOUTH OF NANTUCKET
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
VERY STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OF 30 TO 40 MPH WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY TO 60
MPH WILL OVERSPREAD EASTERN COASTAL MASSACHUSETTS SUNDAY MORNING AND
CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT IN A
STORM SURGE OF 2.0 TO 2.5 FT...ALONG WITH SEAS AROUND 20 FT JUST
OFFSHORE.
DESPITE STORM TIDES EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW FLOOD STAGE...VERY
LARGE SEAS JUST OFFSHORE WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ELEVATION FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING AND BEACH EROSION DURING THE
LATE MORNING TO MIDDAY HIGH TIDE CYCLE SUNDAY. THERE IS A CHANCE THAT
ONLY MINOR COASTAL FLOODING MAY OCCUR...AS THE LARGEST STORM SURGE
AND HIGHEST SEAS MAY HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER HIGH TIDE. NEVERTHELESS...THE
RISK OF MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING REMAINS HIGH ENOUGH FOR A COASTAL
FLOOD WATCH TO REMAIN IN EFFECT.
A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR COASTAL
FLOODING ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. COASTAL RESIDENTS SHOULD BE
