>> the storm is strongest over new england, southern new england. that's where we are looking at the worst conditions and where this historic storm is ramping up. providence to boston is where the worst is. blizzard warnings are in effect from coastal new jersey to bangor, maine. with blizzard warnings it is not necessarily the amount of snow you will get but the winds and visibility and all of those things that make it treacherous on the road. we are going to have those conditions up and down the coast as we are seeing the winds ramp up. the worst of the winds right now are definitely through new england. they are getting the heaviest snow. the winds are picking up. wind in providence town of 48 miles an hour. nantucket picked up a wind over 60 miles an hour. they are at 62. 47 vineyard haven. these are strong winds that are causing blowing and drifting snow and also they will see some big waves along the coast with these winds, as well. that's causing a decrease in visibility. that's also something that creates these whiteout conditions which is p

new york city was spared from the worst of it but new england is still getting slammed as we come on the air, parts of rhode island, mass marks new hampshire, and maine are still facing some blizzard conditions. long island, new york and connecticut have now been downgraded to a winter storm warning. that stretches north into canada. parts of new jersey and eastern new york state have a winter advisory. this storm tracked 50 to 75 miles east and that is why manhattan was spared and new england is still getting slammed. wind gusts in parts of massachusetts are 60 miles per hour. that's actually near hurricane force and is creating some dangerous whiteout conditions. some towns the snow is actually falling sideways. and now coastal flooding is a major concern, prompting evacuations. just look at these pictures. that's not even high tide. here's a run-down of who got how much. 30 inches in framingham massachusetts. just shy of that in long island. 21 inches in boston. foot and a 1/2 in proveidence rhode island. the height of the storm, more than 28,000 homes were without power. among tod

new england didn't change much for them. but for new york city and coastal new jersey we didn't see any of those blizzard warnings and we didn't get those blockbuster snow totals. we still did get snow and deteriorating conditions but it just wasn't what we had in new england. the brunt of new england, from rhode island all the way up to boston and maine, that's where this storm system was the worst with the track that we're looking at. now it is still going on this storm. here's a look at the very impressive snow totals that we have. worcester, mass 26 inches. boston 21.5 inches. they still have a few more inches to go. we haven't topped off just yet. that snow will starlet to diminish tonight. we'll see light snow showers and we could even have a few light snow showers tomorrow as well. but then you look at new york and we're down to 8 inches, so that is a significant dropoff. it was a sharp cutoff out to the west with that storm. we still have blizzard warnings in effect from providence all the way up to maine. we'll see t
