Today's high temperature of 56 degrees in Boston was so far above the normal high temp that it was typical of a mid-April afternoon high...truly incredible!
Just two days after our first solid snowfall of the Winter season, temps have warmed enough for rain and they won't stop there.
Last night many saw 1-3" inches of fluff but a few spots south of Boston saw 4-5" in some very heavy snow bands.
So here we go, heading into the snowiest stretch of our Winter...that's not saying much...but plows will be needed for both.
Not since last Winter have we talked about three potential snowmakers in one week...but here we are half way through the Winter and we are finally getting some snow.
Boston just saw its biggest snowstorm of the season...1.4"...amazing how lame this Winter has been. Well this week looks to be somewhat interesting with two more chances of snow and normal January cold for a change.
Tomorrow will be the coldest day in nearly a year. When you wake up, given it's on the earlyside, it will likely be in the single digits north and west of Boston and very slim double digits to the south and east.
These last two days the weather has been very complicated and turbulent, we literally have seen it all. Well we are taking a turn for the benign, simply put, it's just going to be cold.
Here we go again, another wet Winter storm on the way for most late tonight through tomorrow.
The National Weather Service just issued a Winter Storm Watch for Interior MA and Southern NH for late tomorrow night through midday on Thursday. Hard to believe we are talking about a Winter Storm with highs in the middle 40s today but later tonight the cold will be sliding in and highs tomorrow will be nearly 10 degrees colder in the 30s.
I honestly got a little depressed when the sun set Saturday afternoon...that was one of the finest days ever...for me, right up there with that stretch over Columbus Day weekend.
Just like last weekend, and many others this "cold season", we will see temps soar into the 40s and beyond.
A weak surface coldfront along with an upper level vortmax is providing enough instability for some evening flurries.
This was the coldest morning in Boston since late last January...nearly a year...the low was 10 degrees.
You've heard me say this before, I can handle the cold, it's the wind that I could do without! Seriously, today would have been beautiful (20s and bright sunshine) if it weren't for those single digit windchills.
November 2011 was the second warmest on record, December 2011 was the 6th warmest on record and the high temp on the first day of 2012 was 52 degrees in Boston!
We are on the verge of a warm up but it isn't here just yet. Cold air damming is occurring to the north and west of Boston especially in Northern New England.
Today's high in Boston was 33 degrees making this only the fourth day with a sub-40 degree high temperature this month...pretty incredible when you think about it.
Last night around 2AM, the temp was close to 60 in many towns...truly remarkable...it's weather like that which has boosted December 2011 close to the all-time warmest Decembers on record.
Another wild night with low pressure sliding to our west and then north.
For you snow lovers, I wish I had better news but once again the lack of cold air is glaring and there simply won't be much snow from this moisture loaded storm.
Amazing to plot temps today...cold air remained dammed in Central and Northern New England through the evening with temps in the 50s in Boston and in the 30s just up the road where icing was an issue in many places.
It's payback time for Mother Nature.
A warmfront will pass thru early tomorrow morning allowing temps to soar to near 50 again.
Like Bing Crosby, many are very hopeful to get a little snow before December 25th. Well, the pattern is certainly about to turn more active and while there will be mild days, deeper cold won't be too far away.
