Every forecast across The Bay State,
highway-clear.

Every New England region shares one system — the same maps, the same live radar, the same climate record. The state is only 190 miles wide and holds three different winters. The Cape and the Islands sit in the ocean and often take the same storm as rain; Boston and the North Shore get the nor'easter at its strongest, with the harbor tide behind it; and the Berkshires are 2,000 feet up and keep the snow the coast has already lost. The blizzards are the ones people count in feet — '78, '78's aftermath, and the February 2015 winter that buried the whole Route 128 belt.
