Infrastructure in Plymouth, Massachusetts, failed during the reporting window from 11:45:44 AM to 12:15:40 PM UTC on February 23, 2026, as 75 MPH wind gusts snapped utility poles amid 3-inch-per-hour snowfall rates, according to meteorologist @pappenheimwx cited in a post by @OfficialYallbot on X. Emergency crews are stuck in the area where travel is impossible. @pappenheimwx reported the gusts causing pole failures and heavy snowfall rates, with a live stream available at the provided YouTube link. This update follows earlier power outages in Plymouth reported by meteorologist Jim Cantore this morning during thundersnow conditions. The post from @OfficialYallbot marks critical developments in Plymouth, where emergency response is paralyzed, consistent with broader blizzard impacts across the region including nearby Washington County, Rhode Island, where EMS required snowplow escorts as of 11:45 AM UTC.
