conditions fm the coast to the city. 7 news has storm force coverage of the winter storm. let's check in with jeremy reiner. are you surprised we have blizzard conditions in so many places . they had a blizzard warning in effect to south shore as well as cape around islands and in these cities and towns they verify it so kudos to the national weather service when they issued it last evening at this time. blizzard criteria falling or blowing snow it's jot just about the acum legislate snow. winds 35 miles per hour or higher, visibility reduced to a quarter mile or less and here is the big thing right here. three executive hours to meet those part of the criteria and that's usual ithe challenge but it happened. the national service verified nantucket, chatham, martha's vineyard, hyannis, plymouth and falmouth all met blizzard cry tier marshfield had it for two hours but it has to have three to be labeled an official blizzard. so here it is right here. again, snowing quite steadily still across eastern massachusetts as well as

i flipped the colors over from our snow pallet to just the technical colors because the deep green really shows the steadier bands of snow. they pop off the screen quite well. you can see this deep shading of green this wraps around toward canton. just now moving west of all directions, moving west this will kind of drop south and fall apart and that a second portion of the steadier band of snow is down along the south shore. the storm center itself is way over here, had the storm been half as close as it is now it would have been lights out, show is over, 25 to 30 inches of snow but just a glancing blow even with a glancing blow still maze blade art cry tier light snow up until about midnight tonight with an additional one to three inches of snow at that time around midnight. that's when the wind will fade away. we'll watch one more high tide cycle. but the tide levels themselves about a foot lower than the 11:00 a.m. hide tide and not as much wind either so we are not anticipating a repeat of what we saw this morning.

of us between five and nine inches of snow, upwards of a foot south shore, south coast near the canal. chris? >> anchor: still adding fluff out there and many towns closing in on six to nine inches of snow down as cross the cape. yarmouthport at 9 inches. ocean bluffs at 8.. brewster at 8. bourne at 7. new bedford nine and a half. take a look through much of metrowest very close to four inches of snow. millis four to five inches of snow. same case in westwood out to foxboro, sudbury three and a half and many towns now with the extra push of the snow working in reporting close to four to five inches of snow, even closer to the city of boston from chelsea up through revere and up into cape ann and gloucester. look at the wind speeds earlier today 65 mile-per-hour gusts, sit wall to 61. as jr mentioned tides tonight half a foot it a foot lower so expecting minor coastal flooding and beach erosion mainly to the north and east facing shorelines

this is what we do . >> anchor: sometimes it floods down by the lighthouse it floods floods. it can get bad . >> anchor: streets near the scituate lighthouse and along the were closed to traffic. police and fire patrol the area and ask everyone who didn't need to be here to stay away. this is pretty bad. this is the place where it floods. if you look over here it's going up over the wall every time i have like january year and a half ago or two years ago i saw over these houses a little higher waves but this is a good one . >> anchor: utility crews were in place for power outages. u.s. coast guard station in scituate harbor was one of the first places to flood. the harbormaster stopped by to make sure the water wasn't getting inside. drivers on the road said flooded streets were their biggest concern . it's getting worse. vice the is dropping, roads are getting slippery but it's not impossible yet. i love this weather. i love this weather. i have missed it for 20 years. this is great. i love it.

the next high tide is around 11 11:30 tonight and surprisingly even with these high winds power outages haven't been that much of a problem. live on scituate, brandon gunnoe 7 news . >> anchor: thank you, brandon. townsend dealing with blizzard like conditions all day long . >> anchor: let's head out to nick emons. he is in sandwiches which is still under a blizzard warning. that's right. as you can see the winds still pretty strong and steady here in sandwiches. they have been blowing in off of the water for most of the day. they appear to be dying off just a little bit but earlier today during high tide -- whipping winds fueling wicked waves. the sandwiches coastline pounded by rough surf. i would not want to be in that water right now. storm watchers braving the elements to catch a glimpse of this nasty nor'easter . i told my wife this morning i said i'm going. she said you are out of your mind. don't stay long. i have been gone for an hour. i have seen worse than this this.

woburn earlier today. look at this traffic accident on 128. that's an 18 wheeler and an suv that collided causing the trailer to skid off the highway. luckily, people were shaken up and people were stuck in traffic but nobody was hurt. and now the storm is still with us but it is slowly widing down. people in some spots will still see light snowfall for the next couple of hours. let's head out to kelly o'hara with how it looks there. good evening, guys. snow has really let up earlier it was pretty miserable but now a few flakes are falling and everyone we met seemed to enjoy their day off from work or school. snow days are fun days here in taunton. kids not having to be in school taking advantage of their day off. sledding. we found their parents having some fun too. what are you doing today? . you don't want to stay inside? no . >> reporter: it's a nice day, good snow conditions, we figure let's go sled.

and there was no change in ted cruz's support. then another tie at 10%, between john kasich and jeb bush. at the back of the pack, chris christie five, gaining a point, criminally fiorina no change at four and ben carson no change at three. check out that undecided number. 9% of republican primary voters say they are still not sure whom they will support hours before the polls open. the tracking poll gives you the picture. donald trump alone on top, then the cluster of rubio, cruz, bush and kasich. any of them could finish second, third or fourth. the democratic race isn't about who will win, it's about by how much. bernie sanders is leading hillary clinton by 16 points, 56 to 40% after he lost a point overnight and she had no change. undecided up two to 4%. our tracking poll shows sanders too far ahead of clinton for her to catch him by tomorrow. all she can do now is try to get

my to nine inches of snow. you already dealt with most of this. just an additional one to three to get to those numbers, to get to the five to nine inches of snow. probably around six in the city of boston of cold wind right now that. wind will fade away after midnight. wind chills in the single numbers at this time. snow tapers off around midnight. wind will fade away after midnight. lows 16 to 22. your morning commute is okay. you with ville to deal with what happened today. the snow and blowing snow and if you haven't removed it yet you will have a chance to do that tomorrow morning. cloudy skies through the day tomorrow. there is the huge storm. there is another storm that is coming through the pike if you will. but this one, the front one here it robbed all of the energy out of the atmosphere and so the second storm is left with nothing to work with. and so we just have a couple of flurries on the way for tomorrow tomorrow. and wednesday and thursday. by the way tomorrow of course up in new hampshire you know it's election day, primaries, cloudy skies all day in new hampshire tomorrow maybe a few flurries early on but otherwise not an issue. go rock that vote.
