11F in Berlin and Whitefield, NH.
Marshfield is reporting 10F (at the airport).
6 in North Reading. I think we go below zero again tonight. Wonder if we will here the sonic boom cracking noises in the house again tonight?
HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER EXCELLENT NIGHT OF RADIATIONAL COOLING. THE NORMALLY COLDEST OUTLYING LOCATIONS WILL DROP TO BETWEEN 5 AND 15 BELOW ZERO…WHILE MAINLY SINGLE DIGITS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR THE REST OF THE REGION.
I’m sorry. The above forecast is for this evening SAT FEB 28 2015 (458 AM EST) update.
Mt. Washington is 0F, but that is 9F milder than at this time yesterday morning.
A shot at 32F in spots today, down here, where we all live???
At logan ………. 11 hrs, 11 minutes. ……….. 39.7 degrees at max elevation at solar noon.
Equivalent to same sun on October 13th or around Columbus Day weekend.
We seem to be in a somewhat stable 4 to 7 day model projection run currently.
Seems that the Sunday night event has been consistent for a few days and there doesnt seem like there’s many big changes to what we have been seeing on the 00z model runs.
Next Wednesday’s event seems also to be projected somewhat consistently the last 48 hrs. It is no longer switching back and forth from a cold to a mild to a cold solution, etc.
Tom, what looks more plausible for Wednesday’s event per that last 48 hr. model projections?
Snow to start, change to rain. Quick at coast, a bit slower much further inland.
Way inland, probably at some point to get a few to many dgrees above freezing well into the event.
Extreme SE Mass and the Cape, I think, will warm sector and get above 50F.
I think its Boston, Merrimack Valley, the 128 to 495 area thats kind of the wild card as to whether they hit 42F or 52F for about a 6 hr period sometime later Wednesday or Wednesday night.
Thanks, TK. Hope you are feeling better.
It is 4 degrees in Sudbury now. Sun is up and bright – even with our shades closed, sun has moved in a direction where there is some sunlight coming through. I want to open shades and let the sun in but it is way too cold. Come on, Spring!
TV met snow maps are all over the place. This morning I saw the 3-6″, 2-4″, and 1-2″ lines vary by 50 miles. One station put up a snow map and the met then declared it as all wrong.
LOL!! Thats the best.
Looking ahead into March I think our attention will turn towards flooding concerns.
I know this is not accurate, but the Accuweather 904 day outlook looks good for gradual melting during the month of March.
Lets hope the melting is gradually and spread out over time.
Last day of February!!!
It looks like were going to have the coldest month ever here in CT. As I said the other day winter was about a month late getting here but once it did it has not loosen its grip. I think were going to see more winter weather alerts posted for SNE later today.
For the first 27 days of February, here is a summary of LOW temps at Logan …..
Here are the other 26 days …..
I think one or two times the highs were actually above normal this month.
I think the NWS is a little too bullish on snow totals for this next system. I’m thinking a widespread 3-5″. Generally advisory level snows. Ratios should be only around 10:1, and QPF won’t be all that impressive. It’s still a little ways off though so there’s time for fine tuning. Unfortunately, looks like a raw, windy rainstorm for midweek. Will start as mix/snow (may get Boston over the record), but this one won’t trend much colder. Snow on the ground can only do so much when you have a pretty strong low passing so far west.
If you love snow don’t want to see the low pass to the west. But before we get there I think its a general 3-6 inches for SNE.
Boston will not break the record with this round of snow but will be very close.
Winter Storm Watch out for the Boston area South and West.
Since when does 4-7 inches represent WINTER STORM WATCH??????
These guys have LOST their marbles and not sure they will ever find them!!
They are NOT consistent in anything they say. NEVER!
I know The Weather Channel is probably the least accurate source in terms of forecasts, but how in the world can they be showing nothing in terms of snow for Sunday night? Their forecast calls for cloudy skies. I don’t get it.
They also are calling for rain showers on Wednesday.
Good morning!! Last spring meeting this morning before we head to Jamacia at 6am tomorrow, be back on Thursday. Looks like we have a light snow event Sunday 2-4 inches. Judging by models we’ve seen the coldest and snowiest and now we can see the end of the tunnel. Looking like a decent size rain event wed while temps are well into the 40’s.
Just curious as to where you live with only 17.7 inches of snow on the ground.
He’s down in Attleboro under the famous Charlie Hole.
I can confirm around that on the ground at least at my moms house in Attleboro. I measured 16″ average when I was there last night. It was def more though before loss to compaction. That area in general has gotten significantly less snow than the immediate Boston area and north and south shores. Providence for example (15 or so miles from Attleboro) has only received 50 something inches.
then goes back to a period of SNOW again with moderate accumulation.
Anyone have the snow maps for that. I am curious for sure.
Unless we have a shot at a BIG storm in March, please bring on spring. I am so ready now.
I park my car under a maple tree and to my surprise sap on the windshield. The ground is frozen down to at least two feet I did not expect to see the sap running now maybe a couple of weeks from now.
High sun angle = Strong sunshine that gets the sap running.
Just In: Adults and children escaped after a major roof collapse this morning at a Canton skating rink.
Not even a flat roof, yet it succumbed. Sad.
Is the NAM ill this morning? 9:43 and not a single frame available yet?
What’s up with that? Something is wrong.
I have it thru 60.
GROWTH REGION…SNOWFALL RATIOS MAY BE BETTER THAN 10 TO 1 RATIOS.
About.5 inch for Boston.
night. We will keep watching.
Appears to be ALL SNOW, Except for EXTREME South Coast and Islands.
Newest winter storms – Sparta and Thor. Ok.
I guess it’s possible – have seen it rain with lots of snow on ground; but with the way this winter has been going – so cold and so much snow – concerned there will be at some ice in the forecast next week in some or many places.
12Z NAM snow map is finally available.
Still showing right around 5 inches for Boston, which seems pretty reasonable.
Must be a fairly wet snow because the system is slowly strengthening as it moves through.
The projected radar looks decent.
It may be 5 inches thats worth.5 melted.
Thats worrisome considering what has happened again this morning at the skating rink.
to be above 10 but did not elaborate.
Ratio can be up there even if surface temps are not frigid.
Snow will probably remain pretty dry up towards Boston.
About.3 to.4 for Boston.
My feeling is the GFS is underdone a bit. We shall see.
Boston needs 5.6 inches and that is the higher end of range.
Close, but probably no cigar.
I can see the impact of the sun on my camper’s roof.
I havent safely, in my mind, been able to get myself high enough to get the snow in the center of the camper’s roof moved.
But btwn yesterday and this morning, I can see the whole pile melting from underneath. The inside of the camper must be warming up from the sun and heating the inner ceiling enough to start a melt.
Its like I can see about a cm or 2 worth of space btwn the snow and the top of the camper.
I wonder if I try to push the snow off, if it will just slide right off??? I mostly have no windows to worry about on 2/3rds of one side of the camper. I’d push in that direction.
solar radiation pounding down upon it, it would slide right off.
May wait another hour or two and let the sun continue to pound away.
I have found yesterday and today to be two of the nicest weather days this winter. Not too windy and full sunshine! Bright with all the snow.
I agree. 1:30 or 2PM.
I’ll bet it slides off.
When I try, I’m going to give it a gentle
