The episode as NWS BOX wrote it up.
Low pressure moved from the Plains and Great Lakes, then across Northern New England the night of January 29th. This brought snow to northern Rhode Island. Snow squalls then brought damaging west winds across the state on the evening of January 30th.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA
635 PM EST Wed Jan 30 2019
.SYNOPSIS...
An arctic front exiting this evening followed by dangerously cold
wind chills tonight into Thursday morning. Lingering cold Friday
through Sunday with some scattered rain / snow shower chances. A
mild pattern emerges next week with potential shots of wet weather,
perhaps even temperatures into the 60s. Return of colder air possible
by the following weekend.
&&
.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THURSDAY MORNING/...
630p update...
*/ Highlights ...
- Squalls exiting as late as 8p off E-coastal MA
- Parent Arctic front, W wind gusts up as high as 50 mph with
passage
- Dangerously cold wind chills tonight into Thursday morning
*/ Discussion ...
As of 7p, snow squalls out ahead of a sharp Arctic front were
progressing through E MA. Earlier reports of white-out conditions
and wind gusts as high as 50 mph will continue with these squalls.
Significant impacts to travel making driving dangerous. Lasting
only 30 minutes, a quick inch roughly of snow. Should exit out to
sea as late as 8p behind which breezy W winds continue punching
Arctic air across the region.
Time for a fun meteorological science lesson, everyone pull up
your carpet squares. Strong deep layer frontogenesis / ascent
all the way through the dendritic growth zone in an environment
of steep low-level lapse rates to H7. Subsequent instability of
100 to 200 J/kg and normalized CAPE exceeding 0.4 which is to
say the least impressive. All of which contributing to very high
values of the snow squall parameter which you can view in the SPC
mesoanalysis. Lift upon a deep saturated layer that lies beneath
the tropopause, again up to around H7, with the strong low level
convergence, have gathered reports of thundersnow. Numerous reports
of pouring snow, white out conditions, some catching the cumulus
tuffts prior to passage. Solid line of convection similar to summer,
snow squall warnings have been issued. The combination of deep
layer mixing as well as precip-drag by the heavy snow bringing
the strong winds down to the surface up to around 50 mph. Can't
rule out some 60 mph gusts along the S/SE shore early this evening
immediately behind the Arctic front as it makes its exit, especially
over the warmer ocean waters. Risk for some localized wind damage
and isolated power outages.
Previous discussion ...
Clearing conditions tonight behind the arctic front and squalls.
Winds will diminish some but remain gusty through the night. While
historically cold Midwest airmass is moderating as it approaches
SNE, it will still be bitter cold with 925 mb temps down to -22
to -24C by 12z. Expect lows ranging from 5 below zero to 5 above
zero across much of SNE by morning. Wind chills late tonight and
Thursday morning will be -15 to -25F in the interior, and as low
as -30F in the Berkshires, while the coastal plain will see -10
to -20F wind chills. Wind chill warnings were expanded to northern
Worcester county and wind chill advisories will be in place for
rest of SNE, except along the immediate south coast and Cape /
Islands where wind chills will bottom out -5 to -10F.
&&
.SHORT TERM /6 AM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
Thursday...
Core of coldest air aloft will be over New Eng to start the day
but gradually moderating. Temps will moderate into
the mid teens, except near 10F higher elevations. Wind chills
will remain below zero all day in the interior and recover to
zero to 5 above in the coastal plain. Enough low level
moisture for sct-bkn strato-cu developing especially across
northern MA, otherwise mostly sunny skies expected. Some ocean
effect clouds south of New Eng may flirt with the Islands from
time to time.
Thursday night...
High pres gradually builds in from the west overnight with
mainly clear skies. Modest winds will continue in the evening
before diminishing leading to decent radiational cooling.
Another very cold night with lows ranging from -5F to +5F but
less wind.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
*/ Highlights ...
- Lingering cold through Sunday, scattered snow shower chances
- Mild conditions and wet weather through most of next week
- May see temperatures get as high as 60 degrees at times
- Perhaps the return of Arctic air next weekend
*/ Overview ...
A pattern adjustment. Broadly speaking, whether equatorial Central
Pacific tropical activity signaled by a phase 5/6 MJO echoing into
the NE Pacific / Gulf of Alaska via higher H5 heights with SW-flow,
or seemingly a less wavy global pattern coinciding per a tightening
of the stratospheric polar vortex (10 mb), dangerously cold Arctic
air is contained N as a more seasonable, in some cases mild, pattern
emerges across the CONUS.
From a N-central Pacific split-flow regime, anticipating anomalous
westerly sub-tropical flow into the CONUS as W CONUS H5 troughing
prevails downstream of aforementioned higher heights into the NE
Pacific. Looking at a series of Pacific waves digging across the W
CONUS, only to zip and deamplify SW-NE across the E CONUS under the
weight of warmer S-stream southwesterlies and subsequent higher H5
heights, latent heat release contributing.
But a wobbling, wavering SW-NE baroclinic zone coinciding with the
H3 SW-NE jet along which weak, open-wave H5 disturbances sweep, over
and around New England, downstream of a N-Pacific split-flow regime
with accompanying forecast challenges.
Deterministic models continue to wobble considerably, the 30.12z EC
taking a warmer trend. Varied SW surges of sub-tropical Pacific air
with continued uncertainty of equatorial Central Pacific tropics per
MJO forecasts. Finer details likely won't emerge until 36-48 hours
out. Expect challenging precip-type forecasts per surface to low-
level isallobaric / gradient flow and thermal profiles.
Confidence low Sunday and beyond. Break down details and forecast
thinking below.
*/ Discussion ...
Friday through Sunday ...
Lingering cold. Light winds, clear conditions, efficient radiational
cooling for Friday morning. Then a slow moderating trend ahead of a
weak sweeping cold front for Saturday. Mostly dry frontal passage
but can't rule out some scattered rain / snow shower activity. High
pressure briefly building S through Sunday with return Arctic air.
Sunday night onward ...
Low confidence forecast. Certain will see SW-NE zipping lows along a
NW-SE thermal gradient. Whether S- or N-stream, a wavering, wobbling
gradient, additional variables of remnant snowpack, upstream N high
pressure, strength of surface lows and subsequent isallobaric and
gradient wind along with direction, just some of the factors that'll
influence most likely weak, open-wave disturbances / baroclinic leaf
upslope events. Mixed precip-types anticipated, just depends which
side of the envelope S New England will reside upon.
Chance PoPs in the going forecast, leaning wetter outcomes over the
week, watching for potential highs that could get into the 60s. May
see the return of Arctic air into the following weekend, but way too
early to say with certainty.
