Massachusetts is being hammered by a brutal nor’easter right now. Snow is dumping down, wind is howling, making it almost impossible to get anywhere. Clips from Plymouth and other areas show fierce wind gusts and whiteout snow that are making travel nearly impossible and prompting widespread warnings from weather officials.
A video making the rounds online captures how rough things are in Massachusetts. Snow is whipping past so hard it’s tough to tell where the street ends and the sidewalk begins. In Plymouth, you can actually hear the wind howling on camera, rattling windows, and swirling snow in every direction.
There’s a blizzard warning across most of eastern and central Massachusetts. Some places could see up to two feet of snow by the time it’s done. Some gusts are hitting 60 or even 70 miles an hour, so visibility is near zero, and snow is piling up quickly on roads and infrastructure.
The National Weather Service calls it a blizzard when you get heavy snow, winds of at least 35 mph, and visibility drops below a quarter mile for hours. That’s exactly what’s happening in a lot of towns right now.
It’s not just the snow and wind causing problems. Power is out for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses already, as trees and lines can’t handle this kind of beating. Emergency crews are out there, but with the storm still raging, it’s going slowly.
Meanwhile, flights are getting canceled or delayed, and highway crews are asking people not to drive unless there’s an emergency. The snow is still coming down, and more wind is on the way.
Still, the internet does what it always does. Even while the storm is pounding outside, people are cracking jokes in the comments, including a classic joke about how math teachers would show up to class no matter what’s happening outside. Some things never change.
Internet Jokes Even as Massachusetts Faces Dangerous Winds
The wild weather quickly turned into meme material online, with many people joking about how extreme it looked. “My math teacher will come to the class even in this weather,” one person wrote.
Others compared the scene to cartoons. “This that weather that SpongeBob was delivering pizza in,” a user said. Another added, “SpongeBob pizza delivery vibes but make it apocalyptic. Plymouth said HOLD UP.”
Some leaned into the historic setting. “But is Plymouth Rock okay???” one comment read. Another joked, “Can’t believe this is where Christopher Columbus landed.”
A few compared it to everyday struggles. “This is the weather our parents told us about when they walked to school,” one person wrote.
And of course, there were international comparisons. “People showed up, saw this, and said yep…still better than living in England,” another user quipped.
If you are in the area, keep an eye on updates and listen to local officials. The combination of intense snowfall, fierce gusts, and dangerous travel conditions highlights the severity of this evolving storm.
