Just Plugging Along

Posted by Pete Bouchard

It's times like these where we stop and take stock in where we've been this "winter".

  1. Only 7.8" of snow in Boston.
  2. January and December both were more than 5 degrees above normal in Boston.
  3. So far this month, we're over 6 degrees above normal.

OK, that last point may be a little overdone. We're only seven days into the month, and there's plenty of time left before it goes into the books, but I have to tell you...it still looks mild for the next 7-10 days.

The only exception is the bitter air waiting to plunge into New England this weekend. The numbers I have posted on the 7day forecast for may be a little conservative for the extended range (Sunday/Monday). If it pans out the way the weather maps say it will, we could be seeing highs in the low teens on Monday!

This time however, I'm hedging my bets. So far this winter, the maps have promised pattern changes, bitter blasts, and potential storms in the 5-10 day forecast period. This time, I'm not taking the bait until we're on the verge of the numbing cold.

Either way, the cold won't be sticking around. As early as next Wednesday we'll be back in the 40s.

That's almost as incredible as the lack of snow and cold.

My go-to tunes at 3:30am driving into work are on 50s on 5. Something so simple and pleasant about the music helps to slowly wake me up in the morning. The one song I listened to this morning made me smile. It goes along with the simple weather pattern we've been in too.

We're Moving On

Posted by Pete Bouchard

Well, what can you say? The NFL is probably the most grueling, most highly anticipated, and, unfortunately, most demoralizing league around. Heck, even if your team is out in October, at least you can hope for a good Superbowl. And that's just what we had this weekend. A dual to the end. Although we know SOMEONE has to lose, we just hoped it wouldn't be the Pats.

In Other News...

Posted by Dylan Dreyer

I live in a home where I know when to just keep my mouth shut, let the moment pass, and move on to other things. I know most of you are bummin' this morning...I respect that and can relate to that. So I will just move on and tell you that it's going to be sunny, windy, and mild today near 50. I hope that can lift your spirits a little bit!
