I've been seeing social media videos of people cross country skiing down some of the main streets and esp Beacon Hill which is a beautiful old neighborhood with quite steep hills.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks <b>Lisa </b>- this amount of snow is going to take several weeks to melt, and it's the snowiest time of year so we could get more. This time of year the temps do get above freezing but not by much. By end of March much better.</p> <p><b>Indigoprint</b>, I loved a "snow day" when I was a kid, sledding and other fun stuff outdoors, but I don't like being stuck in the house quite so much now. Sounds like you know the "power outage possibility" drill! </p> <p><b>Suz </b>yeah my wardrobe does work well for these type of conditions. When I see influencers posting their "how to layer for cold winter" outfits with a button down shirt, sneakers, an open coat, and maybe a scarf I know they don't live in the northeast US! </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407148 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 04:16:37 +0000 Suz 2407148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that is a lot of snow indeed. What a workout to deal with it. Luckily, your wardrobe goes the distance.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407145 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 02:08:11 +0000 Indigoprint 2407145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good to know you were up for the task! Looking good.<br />&nbsp;I still do love a good winter. There is nothing as fun as a "snow day"!</p> <p>In WI we have missed the quantities but still need to be prepared.<br />Just today with only 2-3 inches predicted, the winds were so fierce we collected water jugs and flashlights just in case for a power outage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407144 Wed, 25 Feb 2026 02:05:30 +0000 Lisa 2407144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent snow outfit! Indeed that's a lot. It's pretty when it first falls, but hopefully it melts fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407139 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 22:10:03 +0000 Sal 2407139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing.

It IS pretty. I'm seeing videos today of folks skiing on the streets of Boston and NYC - kinda fun! I was dressed pretty warmly but since I was shoveling (which is pretty strenuous) I didn't need my warmest gear.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407133 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:42:57 +0000 Jenni NZ 2407133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. So much. We don’t get snow in Auckland, a decade or so ago there was the tiniest bit and it made the news!<br /> Gorgeous snow pics and you look warmly wrapped up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407131 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 18:04:05 +0000 Chris987 2407131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Pat_p</b> yeah it's so typical for one area to get a lot of snow and not so far away not so much snow. </p> <p>Thanks <b>MsMary</b>! I envy your ability there in SoCal to make outfits this time of year WITHOUT serious outerwear! </p> <p><b>ChristiJ </b>- 1" of snow for us this winter is not even worth mentioning </p> <p><b>Angie </b>- yeah we have gotten pretty good at dealing with snow over the years. The big fun for the next few days is waiting for the huge loud bangs when the snow warms up a little and slides off the roof and the solar panels - it happened an hour or so ago, a huge pile filled up an area that had just been cleared &nbsp;Yup, the days are longer, the temps are a little warmer, spring is definitely on the way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407125 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:42:27 +0000 Angie 2407125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking perfectly Arctic-stylish! :)</p> <p>SOOO MUCH snow. My word! Quite the workout too. You guys are pros at dealing with it, though. And thankfully have power!!!</p> <p>The deep freeze before the big thaw. Hang in there! Spring is on the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407119 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:24:54 +0000 ChristelJ 2407119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent outfit! Practical and cute both. You are taking me back to my childhood in New England. Now in the South, I recently experienced a rare snow there that got everyone quite excited about 1 inch!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407113 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:13:03 +0000 MsMary 2407113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look cozy and stylish!

I live about 90 minutes north of Boston in southern NH and we only got about 8 inches. But my daughter lives south of Boston and got 25 inches. That’s a lot of snow to move! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407104 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:59:43 +0000 Chris987 2407104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah <b>Sisi </b>- would love to send snow your way! </p> <p>Smart move <b>cookie</b> - shoveling a foot of snow off a car parked alongside a sidewalk also with a foot of snow can't be a good time. I've never lived in a city but have seen plenty of photos of how nasty that can be.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407102 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 15:43:34 +0000 Cookie 2407102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fist bump!

I like the dotted neck warmer and the burgundy hat. Wow, that's really a lot of snow! If only you could send some of it my way. I'm so sad that I haven't seen snow (ore very little)&nbsp; since a few years now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407099 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 14:58:18 +0000 Chris987 2407099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Jaileen</b>! Yep, lots of snow. This winter we've had a lot more than the last two, but certainly not an unheard of amount for this area. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407098 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 14:53:01 +0000 JAileen 2407098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a lot of snow! &nbsp;You look nice and toasty. &nbsp;&nbsp;<div>Last week we got 15 inches of snow, but it was in two batches. &nbsp;I was so glad because until then, we’d only had one inch. &nbsp;It’s melting fast, and they’re forecasting rain, even in the mountains. &nbsp;<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-blizzard-of-2026-new-england-feb-2324#post-2407094 Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:15:24 +0000 Chris987 2407094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabbers in the US and Canada no doubt heard about  (or experienced) the Blizzard of '26 that hit yesterday all along the Northeast US (and into southeast Canada I believe) Everything was shut down yesterday. Boston got 1.5 feet of snow or more (on top of a bunch of snow leftover from a storm a few weeks ago) Where I live an hour west we got about a foot, although it's hard to tell because some snow is 4-5' deep in drifts, other places under a foot. Providence RI and the part of Mass near it got close to 3 feet. At  7am this morning there were still 250K people without power but the outages did not hit where I live. SO GRATEFUL!! The map of where the snow was deepest, wind was highest, the most power outages,  was  a very unusual distribution for this type of storm in Mass. A few of the worst hit counties are still under "state of emergency" today and most of the schools are still closed because it's going to take a while to move all this snow.  I heard on the news this morning that the Boston Globe newspaper (founded 1872)  is NOT going to have a print edition today for the first time ever because people couldn't get to work to produce it.  Lots of comparisons to the infamous blizzard of '78 although I think that one still holds some of the records. </p> <p> I just shoveled the snow from the screened in porch (wind has to be pretty hight for it to blow in), a pathway across  the deck and one of the two stairways off the deck. DH is doing the lions share of the clearing the driveway and brick walks with the snowblower and using snow rake to clear the solar panels. A LOT of show but the winter 11 years ago was worse. </p> <p>I was done with my part of this by 7:30 am. </p> <p>Coat - very old Lands End Puffer that I mostly wear for morning walks when it's not too frigid. <br /> Fleece Jacket - LLBean<br /> Fleece turtleneck.- Uniqlo Heattech<br /> Fleece lined tights - one of several I own, don't know the brand. <br /> Neck gaiter - a Gap Kids fleece found at a Goodwill store quite a few years ago, perfect size for my small neck<br /> Fleece lined knit hat - Rachel Zoe. set of 3 found at TJMaxx for $15 this winter - they have been immediate workhorses! <br /> Downhill skiing gloves - brand found at TJMaxx.<br /> Boots - Keen. My walking boots for deep winter<br /> Socks - no find but they are very thick Smart Wool. </p> <p>At 22F, it was not cold enough to need battery headed gloves or vest for shoveling, although they were charged and ready along with flashlights and every other  chargeable battery item we own. </p> <p>1. My outfit<br /> 2. the part of the deck I shoveled<br /> 3+4. DH with the snowblower<br /> 5 Path from the front door ... still need to shovel right next to the door </p>
