Up & Down, then Up & Up

As we continue to transition out of the stormy pattern of January & early February, we will see a period of up and down temperatures during the next 5 days. Beyond that, we will see an upswing in temperatures for at least a couple days.

Winter cold was in firm hold of the area today, but along with plenty of sunshine. The continued cold weather has only solidified the still very deep snowpack, which is now hard & icy. A milder day is on tap for Saturday, though clouds will also be more dominant. A few light rain or snow showers may occur ahead of an approaching cold front. This front will cross the region Saturday night, making Sunday a little colder. A clipper-type disturbance will move eastward from the Great Lakes across northern New England later Sunday into Monday. Its warm front will cross the region late Sunday, probably producing a period of light snow, especially in northern New England but even in parts of southern New England. Behind this warm front will be milder temperatures for Valentines Day, before a cold front comes through later in the day sending another batch of cold air into New England by Tuesday.

A more significant warmup will get underway late Wednesday when temperatures will go above freezing after remaining below freezing from Monday night through Wednesday morning. But this warmup will be more noticeable Thursday through Friday of next week.

  1. it will be amazing if 70+ inches of a winter season’s snowfall falls in six weeks, with little snow before mid December and little or none after Feb 1st……However, I’d guess more measureable snow is likely at some point.
