Special Weather Statement issued February 26 at 4:02AM EST by NWS Boston/Norton MA

Effective: Thu February 26, 2026, 4:02 AM
Expires: Thu February 26, 2026, 8:00 AM

A combination of snow melt, below freezing temperatures, and freezing fog have led to very slippery travel conditions this morning. Use caution both driving and walking on untreated surfaces through 9AM this morning.


Special Weather Statement issued February 26 at 3:23AM EST by NWS Upton NY

Effective: Thu February 26, 2026, 3:23 AM
Expires: Thu February 26, 2026, 9:00 AM

Lightening winds and clearing skies are allowing temperatures to drop quickly this morning. Much of the area will likely see temperatures below freezing by sunrise if not already. These freezing temperatures combined with overnight precipitation and snowmelt have already caused areas of black ice. Black ice is expected to become more widespread by sunrise. Use caution if traveling this morning as black ice can make conditions very slick and potentially hazardous. Leave extra room between you and the car in front of you. Additionally, pedestrians should use caution walking on any untreated surfaces.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
