We don't normally get our weather news from a Red Sox blog, but, there's a potential nor'easter brewing that could affect playoff action (rain at least, not snow). www.universalhub.com/2026/we-dont...

If there were a summer equivalent of the French Toast Alert, it would have to be the Hoodsie Alert, and yesterday and today would be 5-Hoodsie days. H/t @karynrambles.bsky.social

Some hatch battening required. The Greater French Toast Region probably won't see any snow this weekend (that's more of a Shelbyville idea), but we've got a wind advisory of our very own! So secure those porch umbrellas and your smaller dogs and children. bostonfrenchtoast.com

You know the old joke about how if you don't like the weather here, wait a moment? NWS: "Looking like we'll be experiencing two seasons today." Rain in the front, snow/sleet in the back. So tonight would be a good night to settle in with a nice warm plate of French toast! bostonfrenchtoast.com

Well that was something! But it's all over but the shoveling, at least inside 128, right? Um, we might see some more snow Weds., doesn't sound like much, but given how much is already on the ground, even a little is too much, so we're only going down to 3 Slices for now. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Gov. Healey just banned road traffic in Bristol, Plymouth, and Barnstable counties due to the blizzard and dangerous road conditions - so let's hope that guy driving around Sandwich in his 4WD Ford Maverick is back home.

Reporter down! WHDH's Rob Way, in Marshfield had planted a yardstick in the snow, got out his plastic trash bag to show the wind's fury and then he went one step too far: He started clomping in the snow to show how deep it was, a gust came up and boom, down he went.

Healey: State of emergency in effect immediately. The Bunka has been activated. She's in a MEMA fleece. Non-critical state workers will work at home Mon. "This is one to take seriously:" Likely widespread power outages, downed trees, heavy snow, just stay off the roads. #Massachusetts

Wow: NWS gets "bombogenesis" and "40/70 Benchmark" in a single sentence, a sentence that ends in an exclamation point, so we know we're in for it, even if we don't know what "forcing for ascent" is (sure, we could look it up, but we are shook) 1/2

Heavy snowfall (10-20 i.!), wind gusts up to 60mph, power outages, coastal flooding (stay off Long Wharf!) and references to the dreaded 40/70 Benchmark! Starting late Sun. or early Mon. Head out now, with grim determination, to fill your trunk with bread, eggs and milk! bostonfrenchtoast.com

With Jeremy Reiner now calling for a "nasty nor'easter" that will "wallop the area" with 10-15" and wind gusts up to 60 m.p.h. Sun-Mon., we've just raised the Alert to 4 Slices/High. Time to lay in those provisions for the storm ahead. bostonfrenchtoast.com

2:40 p.m. update from NWS: "Coastal storm late Sunday-Monday more than likely to miss or just brush southern New England but too soon to rule out a more high impact outcome."

Boston French Toast Alert System @bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social · 19/02/2026
Had been looking like the Sunday mega'easter was going to mostly miss us, but now NWS says models are showing "a greater chance for widespread snowfall and coastal flood impacts." Still not enough to raise the Alert to true panic levels, but obviously we'll keep you posted! bostonfrenchtoast.com

Giganto'easter Sun. into Mon.? NWS says it's looking like it'll be out to sea, but we won't really get a better idea until tomorrow sometime. So sticking at 3 Slices for now, but we've got our eye to the sky (but watch out for some snow this afternoon and more on Fri.) bostonfrenchtoast.com

Touch of possible snow today, meh. But NBC Boston says we could see 1-3" from another storm Weds., and not the light, powdery stuff we've gotten used to, but wet, heavy snow. And then, "a few inches are possible" Fri. into Sat., with more possible after that! Definite 3 Slicer. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Boston French Toast Alert System @bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social · 08/02/2026
NWS has "increased confidence" in some light snow Tues. afternoon into Wed., with a slight chance of more snow Wed. night. But this is a "clipper" storm, not a nor'easter, so no 40/70 Benchmarkitude, no heavy snows, nothing that might attract the attention of Jim Cantore. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS says we could see 2 to 3 inches of new snow this weekend, but that the real issue is "dangerously cold wind chills." So bundle up. And throw some egg-and-milked-up bread on the griddle.

Have gone down to 2 Slices/Guarded now that the forecast shows the Sunday bombostorm heading well enough out to sea we won't get much snow (although some coastal flooding still possible). Good news if you haven't gone on a fixins replenishment run, since it's cold out there! bostonfrenchtoast.com

We've gone down to 3 Slices/Elevated, and will probably take it down a notch later. But NWS has us concerned about this coming weekend: "We continue to monitor a potential storm off the coast toward next weekend. Can we make it 3 sunday coastal storms in a row? We'll see!" bostonfrenchtoast.com
