For the second time in less than a week, a nor’easter is tearing up the US East Coast. The last one blasted New England with wind gusts up to 97 mph and knocked out power to 2 million homes and businesses. The current one will dump more than a foot of snow from Philadelphia to Boston.
Snow ended for the Tri-State area late Wednesday night, but it’s still snowing from Eastern Massachusetts north through New England.
Absolutely nuts unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. 26″ of new snow, 18″ in the past 3 hours!!!!!! Very fluffy, 20-25 to 1 ratios at least. I had to shovel out the heating vents to prevent them from getting blocked by snow. pic.twitter.com/tJSHminyAJ

Snowfall rates peaked at a whopping 6 inches per hour last night in Vermont.

Maine is getting the heaviest snow on Thursday morning, although a few significant bands are trickling down into Massachusetts. Only a couple more inches will fall there, but parts of Maine will get over a foot on top of what has already been measured.
The sun has set but the storm is still raging across the northeast, and it’s still producing thundersnow in places like New Haven, CT! #ctwx pic.twitter.com/VhePadjeb4

This new powerful east coast winter storm is another beast! A quick look at snowfall totals seems to suggest the forecast was pretty good. The only place it didn’t do well was New York City, where temperatures were just too warm for the storm to overcome.
