Snowing

Posted by Jeremy Reiner

Snow! Some winters it's just about daily (2 winters ago) while others it never happens (last year). This year it's been location location location. Coastal cities & towns have seen very little while out in the Worcester area, snowfall has been just about normal. Just about all of us see some snow today---even at the coast.

Here's the thinking on our storm:

*Timing---steadiest snow falls from 5am until 12pm today. This is when the accumulating snow happens. Looks like 1-3" along the coast & 3-5" likely along & west of Interstate 95. After 12pm, look for patches of light snow & light rain.

*Travel---Poor this morning across the entire area. Road conditions will improve through the afternoon. main roads will be wet for the evening commute. Neighborhood streets/ sidewalks/ parking lots will slowly improve during the afternoon.

*Temps/Wind---Not a big storm so little if any wind and temps will hang around 30-35 for much of the day.

That's it! As we step into the evening hours, that sloppy slush will harden up as lows drop into the 20s under a partly cloudy sky.

We are dry & seasonable tomorrow but will watch an ocean storm tomorrow night & Friday morning. I do think the storm will throw snow onto the Cape/Islands & south shore late tomorrow night & Friday morning. It looks like 1-3" Boston to the Canal is possible and perhaps 3-6" out on Cape Cod/Islands. The weather improves during the day on Friday---but the temps don't, cold with highs in the 20s!

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.

Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies.  Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
