Matt probably describes this video best in the first few seconds: “It is not gonna be short, but we are gonna leave no stone unturned. You will be covered if you live anywhere in New England, from the northern tip of Maine to the southern tip of Connecticut.” Watch the video for in-depth details on New England’s forecast as snow continues to overspread the region this Saturday evening, with the expectation the storm will last throughout Sunday.
📍 Saturday Evening: Snow Arrives
The first flakes are spreading across New England. Temperatures in the 20s ensure snow accumulates quickly, with roads becoming slick almost immediately after sunset.
📍 Overnight into Sunday Morning: Sleet & Ice Take Over for Many
As the storm strengthens and pulls in milder air, a messy transition begins across southern and central New England. Sleet and freezing rain will mix in by 3-5 AM in Connecticut and Rhode Island, spreading northward to Boston, Worcester, and southern Vermont by dawn. Meanwhile, northern New England stays all snow, piling up over a foot in ski country.
📍 Sunday: Snow Continues North, Treacherous Ice & Rain South
By sunrise, southern New England will see heavy rain, while interior areas—especially north of I-90—will be dealing with prolonged sleet and freezing rain. Northern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire, and southern Vermont will see extended periods of ice, with slick, dangerous travel and potential power outages. Meanwhile, in northern New England, heavy snow continues, particularly across the Green and White Mountains into northern Maine.
📌 Northern New England:
📌 Central New England:
📌 Southern New England:
📌 Cape Cod & the Islands:
A big factor in this storm is the ice accumulation. Sleet will be widespread, but freezing rain will cause the biggest issues for power outages and dangerous travel.
As the storm pulls away Sunday night, the winds will ramp up rapidly, bringing damaging gusts of 50-60 mph across New England on Monday. This increases the risk for new power outages, especially where ice has already stressed power lines.
Sunday Night & Monday Impacts:
💨 Winds: Gusts 50-60 mph, strongest along the coast & higher elevations.
❄️ Freeze: Any leftover water & slush will freeze solid overnight—watch for icy roads Monday morning!
🌡️ Bitter Wind Chills: Single digits & below-zero wind chills Monday & Tuesday morning.
This storm brings something for everyone—heavy snow for the mountains, ice inland, heavy rain at the coast, and extreme winds to wrap it up. Skiers & snowmobilers will be thrilled, while commuters and homeowners will need to brace for hazardous travel and potential power outages.
