The Week Ahead

7:54PM

Before we look ahead, a brief look back at the historic October snowstorm, which was just beyond belief in some inland higher elevation areas. Here is a link to the snowfall reports:

I hope that all of those that are still without power have it back soon!

Looking ahead… High pressure will be in control most of the coming week, and should be strong enough to keep low pressure areas south of the region on Tuesday and Friday.

  1. Not the most exciting week of weather, especially those who didn’t get their snow cravings to ease following this storm (like me).
    Back to looking towards long range.

    1. Scott I will hope you get your turn next time. in the meantime come join us. We are into adventure mode. Not having power extends the excitement of the storm 🙂

  2. Temp in Hanover just reached 32 for the second time this fall. The first time was laat monday morning. FYI, last weekend I camped out in Swanzey,NH, the min temp was 37. They now have 2′ of snow at my camp site! Amazing!

    Also a little leary about my snowfall prediction. This past snow event just threw me for a loop. October snow two years ago made for a lack luster winter.

    Ticks are still out there, I took my daughter and dog for a walk today and my wife found a tick walking on my daughters forhead.

  3. A moderate frost in Marshfield this morning. I notice Pittsfield and Springfield are down to 19F and 20F and can only think of what some home temps are down to for those without power. Hopefully, the daylight and a moderating airmass will offer some help in a few hours.

    1. Moderate freeze here also. Hopefully all Mosquitos are gone. We have the fire going and gas fireplace but don’t typically have heat on much this time if year. We are heading to my sons in Brighton so my daughter can shower and grandson can have a bath.

  4. We experienced our coldest morning so far in Hanover. At 6:00am the temperature was 26 degrees. That was before we left for the day, it may have dropped a degree before 7am.

  5. first half of November looks to be fairly decent.

    looking forward to resuming fall here.

    hang in there Vicki

    1. Thanks. I’m out cooking on grill. It’s a lovely day. We saw a lit of streets closed thru wayland and Weston and north Framingham where the farms are. A lot of work still to do.

      1. Hey vicki hang in there, I hope you get the power back soon. Driving home from the cape this morning I was amazed at all of the frost. Would this be considered a killer frost.

        1. Thanks John. It seems trick or treaters are too afraid to come down our dark street. We’ve had 5 and one was my grandson Darn. I thought I had enuf jack o lanterns in the front yard to light the street 🙂

    1. I thought about this #, total snow for Boston for the winter season (including yesterday’s storm, since the “snow year” runs July1 thru June 30 based on climate record). I found reason to forecast 47, and reason to forecast 67, so I’m going to take an average of my extremes of thought and say: 57″.

  6. The long range GFS sure builds cold air in Canada around mid month. Will be interesting to see if this continues in coming days and where the cold air is trended to be positioned.

    1. I was just about to address this. The GFS starts to indicate a regime change (to more persistent cold) at mid November. This means, based on the personality of the GFS, that if this model is right in calling a coming regime change, the actual change will take place about 10 days later, or just after Thanksgiving, which by chance happens to fit in with the prediction given by Joe Bastardi & Joe D’Aleo at the SNE Weather Conference.
