Starting on Friday (January 28), local time, New York, Boston and other places in the northeast of the United States began to suffer a new round of heavy snowfall attacks, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has declared entry into the area on Friday night into a "blizzard emergency" and said that Saturday morning will experience a peak of snowfall. Subsequently, fierce snowstorms struck many places - wild storms swept through 10 states in the northeast of the United States, including New York, Boston and other places were hit by blizzards, and the city was covered with snow.
According to monitoring data from the American Meteorological Agency (NWS), there is significant snow accumulation at multiple sites in the northeastern United States, including New York and Massachusetts. For example, Sharon Station in Massachusetts recorded 30.4 inches (77 centimeters) of deep snow, Islip Station in New York State recorded 24.7 inches (62 centimeters), Warren Station in Rhode Island recorded 24.6 inches (62 centimeters) of snow, and Groton Station in Connecticut recorded 21.5 inches (54 centimeters) of snow. According to NWS monitoring data, the snow depth at many sites in the northeast of the United States is generally 8-12 inches, that is, 20-30 centimeters.
The fierce snowstorm certainly had a clear impact on the region. Us media speculate that this round of winter storms may affect as many as 75 million people, Massachusetts alone has more than 100,000 power outages, nearly 6,000 flights cancelled at multiple airports in the United States, and many residents are worried that even after the snow stops, they will not be able to return to normal production and life immediately.
The main reason for the blizzard was a robust temperate cyclone system that rapidly strengthened on January 29 after the prototype of a temperate cyclone appeared in the northeastern United States around January 28, developing into a strong winter storm weather process. For example, on the evening of January 29, the center of the winter storm was located near Boston, bringing ferocious snowstorms to many parts of the northeastern United States.
On the morning of January 29, local time, the high-definition visible light satellite cloud map also recorded this powerful temperate cyclone system in the eastern region of the United States. Then some netizens will ask: Will the blizzard spread to the mainland? Strong temperate cyclone systems mean strong gyroir activity, illustrating that there are still anomalies in climate patterns in the Northern Hemisphere, and that continents should indeed remain vigilant.
