Winter at its finest...I have to say that when you get days like this one Winter is actually very enjoyable! The sun angle this late in February is making all the difference...it is so much stronger now than just a few weeks ago and it's really throwing off the models (and me too, but I'm not biting anymore!)
The final installment of Way Back Week was delayed for a few days, but it was worth the wait.
Tough keeping up with Mother Nature today. Once again Boston saw a high of 60 degrees...set just after 4PM. This makes two days in a row of 60 degree days, the first time this has happened since last October!
We just missed a record today in Boston the high was 59 set one minute before 4PM the record of 61 set back in 1981 still stands. Of course the near record warmth was interesting today but what I found most interesting was the temp drop that occurred between 4PM and 5PM...59 to 42 in one hour!!!

What a day! It certainly felt, sounded and smelled like Spring...those last two aren't that obvious but I noticed a ton of bird chirping and maybe it was just the smell of melting snow but if I closed my eyes I was imagining April...or maybe I'm just weird...probably the later!
Weekend is here and good timing for a little mini-thaw that should soften up the snow enough so that we can rearrange some snowbanks.
My town had out all the heavy machinery today widening the streets and rearranging the piles of snow. It is absolutely incredible how high the snowbanks are now...to the tops of the stop signs!

Next storm arrives tomorrow afternoon and before it gets here warm air will work in at all levels meaning rain to start...mixing with wet snowflakes north and west.
I, along with many others (maybe not all of you snow lovers on this blog), have the Winter blues. I was driving around taking care of some errands today and drove past Russells Garden Center on the Wayland-Sudbury line...I decided to stop and check it out. As soon as I walked into their greenhouse I immediately perked up!
WBZ-TV's Kate Merrill was out in Brighton Wednesday afternoon reporting on road conditions when she was caught on camera encouraging meteorologist Todd Gutner to "wrap it up."
My wife asked me today if all this snow meant the end of the world was coming...I assured her it wasn't...but after this evening, maybe she was right...AGAIN!
Round one is winding down with most picking up 6-9" of snow...for the next 6 hours there will be some very light mixed precip out there but it will basically be inconsequential.
The mid-day models are in and show a warmer solution for Wednesday's storm.
A new month may be about to start...but nothing seems to be changing. Our stormy Winter pattern isn't quitting this week and we are in for potentially three storms this week.
