two storms, and the areas that are being highly impacted are really right along the coast, especially out on the cape cod. here s a big satellite view of the storm, giving you an overview of how massive and huge the storm is. it s officially a bomb cyclone. it did undergo bombogenesis. we re waiting to see if it meets blizzard criteria. we re likely going to get here soon, rhode island, block island into boston, it s snowing really hard in those areas. philadelphia, you re done. new york city, maybe just another fluffy 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch, pretty much done in new york. long island has a ways to go, and when you look at the radar, the blue is where it s snowing. when you see the white, that s where it s snowing really hard and this storm has been really well forecast for the last 24 hours. it s right over providence in boston. that really 2 to 3 inches of snow an hour, adding up quickly. we could see a 2 foot snow total by the time we re done.
the imminence of invasion, which, in fact, plays into putin s hands, because the more ununited, disunited the opposition to him, the more victory he has, even if there is no actual military offense there. so, do you think the decision to send u.s. troops to the ukrainian border is, in fact, a bad one? what would happen if they decided not to do that? well, i mean, i can t say that, that it s a decision, because first of all, as americans have been very careful to say, the troops are not going to participate in ukrainian military preparation and so on and so forth, but what happens, i think, with this decision is that putin then is confirmed in his in his idea that the west is really breathing down his neck, and therefore, he has to arm more and more and more, and
three-part concern, scenario, we re looking at the snow, yeah, we can see three feet in some spots. we re looking at winds at hurricane force speed so we had an 80-mile-per-hour wind gusts in parts of massachusetts that knocked out a gauge. really ferocious winds and coastal flooding. we had video earlier of inland flooding so there s a lot of going with this system. it s a typical nor easter with those strong winds coming out of the northeast and we still have several hours of really terrible weather in parts of new england. so this is what it looks like right now. we notice the banner, 2022 blizzard, and it has met blizzard criteria, which, by the way, is pretty difficult to do. we met that criteria in parts of new jersey, parts of connecticut, parts of new york and no doubt we re going to meet that in massachusetts, and we re seeing blizzard-like conditions right now. so this is what it looks like on radar. you can see lots of blue. it s a huge storm. it s a powerful storm. it s dro
east, we will see winds really howling along the coast and into the cave. plenty of wind during the day, 70 mile an hour winds. in order to meet the blizzard criteria we are looking for 3 consecutive hours of 30 mile an hour winds. that will happen in many locations. we have the winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories. just because you re not getting punched with the heart of the storm doesn t mean you won t have slick travel conditions and big enough winds to take down power lines and trees. wind doesn t quit until late tonight from the jersey shore, long island, rhode island towards the cape. snowing is latest:00 tonight. the blizzard warning will go to 5:00 am. nothing to do with snow or the big cold.
Our intense nor’easter slowly chugs north overnight, taking the intense snow, mix and wind with it. Wintry cold swings back across Southern New England,.
