up in long island, as well, long island, 30.3 inches. so certainly very substantial.ubt about that. but the end is in sight. so the snow's winding down. the winds are winding down. now the sun's up. you can see what's fallen. you see here's new york state. the northway, the thruway clearing up now. and western massachusetts, western connecticut, new york city, done for you. eastern end of long island. suffolk county still seeing snow but nothing as heavy as we've seen. you see where it's brighter here. that's what we call bright banding where the snow coming down more in earnest. more dynamic lifting happening there. that's where the two to three inches were. predominantly right like this, a stripe. that's what allowed for those 30 inches. that's how it just adds up. but you see as we move through today and in toward this afternoon, 11:00, the area of low pressure off the coast. pretty much clears everybody. by tonight, it clears boston, clears maine even. by 3:00, you see where it is. then tomorrow, everyone is dry for the most part. still the winds behind it will be

even on long island 30 inches. stonybrook in long island, 28 inches.not out of this, 14 inches. central park 11 inches. almost seems paltry, right, compared to the 30-inch numbers in connecticut. in maine, almost 30 inches in portland. that was the record. the greatest single snowfall total. worcester, 28. providence even at 16 1/2. we've all seen it. but it is also coming to an end. the winds are weakening. now we're seeing gusts in the 30s and 40s. earlier, last night about midnight to about 2:00 this morning we had 60, 70, hurricane force wind gusts. this is the snow predominantly off the coast but that's what indra was saying. she's between a couple bands. one to the west, the same band that's set up shop this entire event for most part and was bright. that's called bright banding where the snow coming down 2, 3 inches an hour and that's how you get up to those 30, 35-inch snowfall totals. this is where we've seen it. it hasn't let up. that's how weather is, kind of just stays where it is and that's what we've seen on that 91 line. that will abate,

, new york's long island up through massachusetts.t impossible travels there tomorrow into saturday. in the meantime in maryland cloudy conditions and what we anticipate as the start of rain source, potentially mixing with snow, light showers, mainly west of the chesapeake but heavier rain eastover night as that storm continues to pass off shore. there will be wrap around snow as we go past the evening. this is where we get into dicey weather for maryland. especially from baltimore north and east. cecil, hartford and kent on the eastern shore. it blows out saturday but there could be accumulation in the wake of this thing, couple of inches worth especially for cecil as we go into the saturday morning time frame. two storms, one big one and that's of the core the coastal runner out of the carolina's, a texas low, northeast, that secondary low coming in. creating a sort of a winter bomb if you will how we call them. this one north of long island. for maryland on that cut off and it'll be a sharp cut off. we won't see the huge snow total

first let's get to rick reichmuth in the fox exexcept the far eastern tip of long island where that isll about to change. then we remain all know all night long, about 5:00 in the morning we clear things out towards new york city. but we remain all snow up towards boston until around afternoon hours tomorrow. take a look at how cold it is behind us though. temps are going to be so cold in places like new york and long island had that very thick layer of slush on the ground before. well, that's all going to freeze and we have got a very rough one for most of the day tomorrow where we don't get above freezing. tomorrow night temps are going to be down right cold for most in the single digits. low teens. all of that is going to continue to freeze, shep. >> shepard: what are you predicting for accumulations, rick? >> it hasn't changed a whole lot. the boston area two foot total by the one is done. we are still saying around 7 to 8-inch or so of additional accumulation. we have already had a couple of inches in and around the area. but boston you put that at 22.8, that puts you at your fift

alison kosik on long island. we'll begin in boston. indra. >> reporter: good morning. the story here today, trying to get back to normal. power outages, 120,000 people in the state of massachusetts without power this morning, not to mention the huge heaps of snow all over the city. so today schools are still closed. a snow emergency is still in effect as the city tries to get back to normal. they are focusing on residential streets. yesterday we had the sun, today, temperatures rise to 45 degrees. a lot of snow could get melt and get caught in the drains, and there are flooding concerns. the streets look good now, but snow a few hours away, potential for freezing rain and eventually all of that will turn back into rain. more concerns for the city. the good news, logan fully operational, but with the potential for freezing rain, snow and the other weather concerns across the country, delays not out of the question. >> indra petersons, thank you very much. we'll be back to the blizzard in a second. first, the report -- >> breaking news.

and also on long island. d we have volunteers, and we also have supplies in place and ready to go on stand by if emergency officials say it's time to open more shelters throughout rhode island and other areas if necessary. >> while i have you, while people are listening, just run through the common sense things that you want to pass along to people so hopefully they will not be calling you. >> well, you know, if they're home without power, obviously, the biggest thing tonight is to keep warm. and we want people to do that safely. so maybe the best thing to do is gather everybody into one room. time to have a family night. stay warm, get some extra blankets. maybe some layered clothing for the evening. you never, ever want to use your oven or stove to heat your home. that's a dangerous thing to do. if you're going to use a generator, you need to be very, very careful that it has enough exhaust and that, you know, it has want been covered in snow that then it will back up into your home and have a carbon monoxid

the same one that crossed long island sound. we have blizzard warnings in effect. new york city's has been canceled been rhode island, connecticut, and all of new england. we'll continue to see the snow. we got another eight hours of this snow before it's done. we could see another 5 to 8 inches of snow falling, especially coastal areas towards boston. but you see blues. one heavy band moved through new york overnight and you can see that dark blue band. that was snowing at 6 inches an hour last night. there were a couple of areas that got 13 inches in 2.5 hours. incredible snowfall. it falls that quickly and strands everybody. that's why hundred dollars -- hundreds of cars are stalled. the next few hours the snow continues to pull away from new york. temperatures remain below freezing. a really cold night tonight. at noon:00 -- noon o'clock? it's hanging out on cape cod and the islands until dinnertime tonight. we had a wind gust in boston at logan airport of 77 miles an hour. bedford, mass, 75. that's above hurricane force wind. providence, rhode island, 63 miles

providence, rhode island, turning a corner after a bitter, bitter storm with really torrential rain/snow pellets coming at us all night long. that caused a big issue here, which the city of providence, the state of rhode island is trying to deal with this morning. that is massive power outages, wet, thick snow falling on trees, on power lines. it means about nearly 200,000 homes here in rhode island are without power. that is what they're dealing with at this hour. some good news, some of those bridges out to places like newport, rhode island, have reopened. they closed late last night because of these sustained 58-mile-per-hour wind gusts we were getting. those have reopened. i-95, that huge interstate through massachusetts, connecticut, rhode island still closed, though. roads here in providence closed a's well since 5:00 eastern right now. illegal to be out driving on them. stay home. even though it looks better, stay home. we had a chance last night to hang out with this guy, let's bring him into the picture, colonel pete gaynor, who heads emergency transportation. snow plows, gps tracking their every move. you were up

that covers almost all of central new england, all of southern new england and long island for possibly new york city to boston. the potential for 1 to 2 feet of snow which could easily be the biggest snowfall that we've had this year and could be one of the crippling fast storms that moves through. our other american computer model does show the same scenario. we added confidence now that we are going to have a very significant snow, wind event, coastal tides in new england friday night and saturday. travel is not advised in those areas. make sure you have alternate plans and do so now before everyone else does, especially with the airlines there. the rest of the country today is okay. we'll focus on that coastal storm in the days ahead. turning now to sports, another baseball star's reputation in jeopardy because of suspected performance enhanced drug use. but he says it's all a big misunderstanding. ryan brawn's name apeered in
