If you're going to run 26.2 miles, you can't ask for much better weather than this!
This year's conditions may very well end up be near ideal for runners.
Cautiously optimistic. That is how I would describe our forecast for Marathon Monday at this point.
As with every weather story in New England, there is typically some good news and bad news. And while it is still early, it appears this will be the case for Marathon Monday.
This is just the first of four total lunar eclipses in the next year and a half!
Weather-stalking Marathon Monday's forecast already? Here's a look at the long-range forecast.
The snow has arrived on schedule, it is going to be a messy morning commute over southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the Islands.
Here is what you should expect, inch-by-inch, hour-by-hour.
A major nor'easter is about to make a dangerously close pass by Southern New England in the next 48 hours.
I think it is safe to say that the vast majority of folks are just about done with this winter.
There is a storm in the works and it has the potential to be major, perhaps even historic, IF it is steered closer to New England Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Ok, so enough is enough. when do we get warm?
In just the next 24 hours, most of you will see rain, ice, snow, street flooding and strong winds. It sounds like a classic springtime storm in New England!
It appears that we might be finally ready to turn the corner. The storms are still coming but it is becoming harder and harder to produce snow in Southern New England.
Mother Nature is about to serve up a classic taste of March in New England this week, complete with all the fixings - rain, snow, warmth and cold, all in the next few days.
The storm track for Sunday night and Monday continues to look well to our south...far enough south to put this storm somewhere between a minor event and a non-event.
If you are looking for a break from the snow, here's some encouraging news.
What I think is certain at this point is there will be a large swath of 6-to-10, perhaps up to 12 inches of snow somewhere in the vicinity of southern New England.
By now you have probably heard, there is a fairly good chance that Monday will be another snow day here in southern New England. While it is still a bit early for specifics, I think we can make some early assumptions.
This has been some kind of week. Since last Thursday, Boston has had measurable snowfall 5 out of 6 days, accumulating to about 10 inches.
This should be our last significant snow accumulation for a while.
Another snow storm is coming, and while this one isn't very large, it will pack a quick little punch on Tuesday afternoon, hitting southern New England square in the face.
We now expect 12-15" of snow in extreme southeastern Massachusetts and for most the upper Cape.
The storm track is edging a bit closer to our coast, and we are in for our 2nd major winter storm in just 3 days. Here are the inch-by-inch details:
This will be a fast moving, intense burst of snow focused during Saturday night along our coastline, essentially, a 6-to-8 hour window where we will accumulate snow very rapidly.
