DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 19-23)

Early morning warning! If you are about to step outside and it’s before 9:00 a.m., watch for patches of black ice where moisture from yesterday’s rain and overnight fog has frozen on some surfaces as the sky cleared and temperature fell to freezing or below in many locations. This will improve quickly as the sun rises and the temperature heads back above freezing on the journey to today’s relatively mild high temperatures (upper 30s to lower 40s). Any remaining fog patches dissipate early as well, and we’ll have sunshine for a while, but mid and high level clouds will quickly be on the increase later this morning, leading to an overcast afternoon, capping the temperature rise as we cut off the solar heating and also start to feel the arrival of a colder air mass from west to east across the region, albeit slowly at first. At the same time, a wave of low pressure currently in the US Southeast will be on a quick northeastward journey and will be passing off our coast tonight and first thing Monday morning, while intensifying. This low pressure system will bring a quick-hitting but significant snow event to most of the region. Milder air in place at the onset means that it starts as rain for a good portion of southeastern MA and RI to southeastern CT (basically the MA South Shore to the New England South Coast), before the cold air flips those areas to snow. This also means those areas will have lower snow totals, as discussed on the previous blog post. Elsewhere, a general moderate snowfall is likely, with several inches in the range of accumulations. The system exits early Monday, and other than an potential snow shower ushering in arctic air, look for dry and much colder weather Monday through Thursday. A storm system will pass not too far offshore Wednesday, but as for its snow shield, that will likely be a near-miss for the South Coast / Cape Cod region outside of a potential band of ocean effect snow showers reaching Outer Cape Cod as a result of the storm’s circulation. The core of the cold will be exiting by Thursday afternoon.

TODAY: Sun followed by clouds morning-midday. Overcast remainder of day with end-of-day snow (NW) and rain (SE) arriving. Highs 36-43. Wind W under 10 MPH shifting to N.

TONIGHT: Overcast with snow, except rain changing to snow southeastern areas, then snow tapering off just before sunrise. Expected snow accumulation – coating to 1 inch Nantucket and Outer Cape Cod, 1 to 2 inches Martha’s Vineyard and Lower Cape Cod, 2 to 4 inches near the Cape Cod Canal and South Coast region, 4 to 8 inches elsewhere, with isolated pockets of 8-10 inches possible mainly west of the I-95 belt. Lows 17-24 except 24-31 far southeastern areas. Wind N 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts eastern areas.

MONDAY (MLK JR DAY): Sun/cloud mix. Slight chance of passing snow showers in the afternoon. Highs 25-32 early, then falling through 20s. Wind N to NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.

MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 3-10. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY: Sunny. Highs 13-20. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.

TUESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 2-9. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

WEDNESDAY: Sun and high clouds. A band of lower clouds and snow shower possible Outer Cape Cod. Highs 15-22. Wind N 5-15 MPH except 15-25 MPH Cape Cod / Nantucket.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 2-9. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

THURSDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 22-29. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 24-28)

Snow potentials (favoring southeastern areas) in the January 24-25 window, and another potential January 27. Temperatures near to below normal.

DAYS 11-15 (JANUARY 29 – FEBRUARY 2)

One or two additional opportunities for snow in a continued near to below normal temperature pattern to end January / start February.

  3. I’m hoping for a snowy game in Buffalo tonight. I read Buffalo NWS discussion but I’m not familiar with how any lake effect bands set up with respect to where the stadium is.

    Also, wonder if the 3pm Philly game has rain, rain to snow or gets in before precip arrives ?

  7. Tom Winter Storm Warning for Philadelphia. 4-6 inches expected from what I just read. Second half of the game the snow could really be coming down. It may start as some rain. The last time I remember a snow game in Philadelphia was when the Eagles played the Lions. I believe this was just over ten years ago.

  8. I see snow for the Philadelphia game at 3 PM today. But I’ll let TK weigh in on timing of flip down there.

    I’ll take either team, just happy to be in a Championship game so quickly.

    Thanks TK, I see a general 4-8 storm everywhere north of the SE Coast of NE Cape. Someone mentioned this, much easier to snow going into colder pattern especially here at the coast. Going cold into warm always seems to kill us near the coast.

    1. I have mentioned it – easier to snow coming out of “warm”. This was taught to me (and SAK) and several of our colleagues by the great Peter Leavitt who was one of the all time greatest forecasters from the old school days. He had the original weather-related MA vanity plate: WX. 🙂

  10. Will Boston see its first 6-inch snowfall in 1000+ days? I long since stopped counting the exact number.

  11. Philip before the season started I had the Lions going to the Super Bowl. Give the Commanders credit the Lions could not stop them. I am thinking as a Cowboys fan I got to face this team twice a year when before Jayden Daniels arrival those were two easy wins. Not the case anymore.

    1. Your Cowboys have a lot of work to do, much like the Patriots. Didn’t their coach get fired as well?

      1. Philip Cowboys did not give Mike McCarthy a new contract. His contract expired at the end of the season so they parted ways.

    2. No he’s a great QB and reminds me of Lamar . But I am really disappointed Detroit & KC won yesterday . I’m hoping for a better turnaround today with a Buffalo win tonight ( I hope )

  12. As of Wednesday January 29, it will be exactly 1,095 days since Boston received 24”+ of snowfall. Expect many, many more days to follow, if not years.❄️

    I hope my math is correct. 😉

    1. Well, let’s be realistic about that stat. How many 24+ inch snowstorms has Boston had since records began? 🙂

          1. January 26-27 2015: 24.4
            February 8-9 2013: 24.9
            March 31-April 1 1997: 25.4
            February 6-7 1978: 27.1
            February 17-18 2003: 27.6

            Honorable mention
            January 29 2022: 23.6 (most snow in one calendar day, also tied with February 17 2003)

  14. Good morning and thank you Tk

    Not a fan of the 4-8 inch range on snow maps. Not precise enough.

    Nws has 6-8 inches on their snow map. Much more precise range, imho. but has 4-8:on their wsw.

    Looking at the latest models, most have only 4 or 5 inches kuchera. gfs is the outlier at 7 or 8.

    I am concerned that this may end up just as an advisory event and not a warning event. Will see what the rest of the 12z suit shows.

    whichever it is, will be nice to see.

    1. 4-8 works fine when across that area it can range, literally, from 4 to 8. We can’t always narrow an entire region down to 2 inches. You’ve seen this in large variations over short distances. So 4-8 is absolutely acceptable. I’m guessing you don’t like that I used it today. 😉

      A couple winters ago we had a storm where the snowfall ranged over one foot over just 10 miles … good luck forcing us into small ranges with that kind of stuff. We are doing just fine. 🙂

      1. That’s fine, doesn’t mean I have to like it.
        I understand that there are times where you just can’t pin it down, but You can’t stop me from not liking that kind of wide range. I never have liked it and I never will. 🙂 🙂 🙂

        Both the 4-8 and the 6-12 drive me up the wall.

        1. Btw, with this event that range will verify if 4 inches fall
          or if 8 inches falls and anything in between. AND highly likely it will verify, perhaps on the low end. We shall see.

  15. Dave, these are by calendar day, every snowfall for 2014-2015 at Logan, but you can still get the idea that the only storm that came close to 2 feet was the first of the four biggies…

  16. Came to bottom of driveway and car would not stop. Slid right out onto our main street … fortunately it was very early and no cars around.

    Walked the shore and it was all people could do to make sure they didn’t fall. Some were wearing micro-spikes, usually reserved for hiking / climbing. I thought it was funny until I started walking. All of a sudden it became lots less funny. Didn’t fall but came close.

  19. Tk fox 25 has Marshfield in the 3-6 zone . What are your thoughts on that and higher vs lower it looks like that zone Went from Boston down through here . I know I’ve asked you this & got your answer but could the rain hold on much longer from Boston to the cape giving us little snow . Thank you and go Bills !!

    1. No, this is not going to turn into a mostly rain event for your area, and their range is acceptable based on my forecast.

  21. 13Z RAP kuchera snow

    12Z NAM Kucerha Snow

    3KM NAM Kuchera Snow

    https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=nam&p=snku_acc-imp&rh=2025011912&fh=35&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc=

    These all suggest 4 or 5 inches, perhaps 4-6 inches.

    Will this really be a warning event????

    I guess it will come down to now casting and watching the snow rates as it occurs. Anything can happen with a deepening system as it passes by us. Do the models currently have it correct??????

    Fascinating……

    1. To your point, the amounts on those models have come down some since yesterday, bringing most of the area below warning criteria (and below the significant threshold)

  25. All the snow maps look reasonably sound.

    And yet, it’s highly likely the placement of a heavier band of snow and/or the placement of a lighter than expected area of snow will cause a few areas to exceed or underperform these ranges.

    2. So it sounds like you’re saying we could get less than expected, or that the maps are sound and we’ll get what’s predicted, or we will over perform. Every possible option if you think about it lol

  26. I like this met on fox 25 as she specifically mentions towns .3-6 all the way from Boston through the south shore

  31. 12Z RDPS Kuchera Snow

    Ok, this is a bunch of models and enough to give me pause.

    This is really looking like a 4 or 5 inch routine run of the mill
    snowfall. Nothing special.

    And to add insult to injury, the 6Z EURO introduces RAIN

    https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/ecmwf/2025011906/ecmwf_mslp_pcpn_frzn_neus_7.png

    I just can’t get excited about this event.

  33. The thing that needs to be kept in mind is the amount of variability across relatively short distances that are possible in almost every single type of event we can get.

    But there is still a large issue that the general population has, called the backyard syndrome, or backyard bias. I’m not going to repeat again what that is because I’ve done it countless times and you all know it here. It’s rampant on social media.

    Let me put it this way, right now, I wouldn’t change anything that is posted by NWS.

    I also wouldn’t chop down the entire event based on exact numbers from short range guidance. There is a heavy aspect of meteorology involved in this that goes far beyond model output.

    1. To your excellent point, I will repeat. We can be and often are 2-3 inches below Sutton center. We have instances of frozen precipitation in the center area and rain here. That area is five miles as the crow flies from here. I’m not sure how ranges can be narrowed. I look at the numbers as a guide only

      On that note, my neighbor just moved his snow blower out of the garage.

  34. I got bright sunshine right now. Waiting for that snow sky and snow feel and then the snow starting to fall.

    1. This particular cloud-up will not be the classic cirrostratus to altostratus.

      We are still right on the border of the mild air and the colder air, and there is a deck of mid level clouds that is kind of preceding everything. But these mid level clouds are not the classic snow sky altostratus. It is likely somewhat broken and cellular in nature, kind of a hybrid altocumulus.

  35. The conditions are great right now. I’m moving firewood around without a coat or jacket.

    My son is in CA for work at Stanford medical center. It’s currently two degrees warmer here than there. Of course, it’s three hours earlier there.

    1. This is exactly how I envisioned this morning-midday would go. Sun, relatively mild, not much wind at all.

      My son and I are about to head outside for a 3 hour project which we remove outdoor holiday decorations, lights, and electric cords. The snow cover has vacated and while the ground is technically “wet” it’s not sopping or smushy. A pair of boots, medium jacket, hat, gloves and we’re good to go!

      Like JJ likes to clean his leaves up before it snows, I like to take advantage of a window of opportunity to get these outdoor decorations down before we get our next snowcover. We’re going to beat that by just a few hours. 🙂

  37. Not to look beyond this system, but a quick glance at some 12z medium range stuff & the pattern tells me the Friday/Saturday threat is highest for southeastern MA and RI.

  39. I was curious.

    QPF wise, the models that have 3-5 inches do still put down .4-.6 melted.

    So, I’m guessing the profile of the entire column is not so cold as to feature high snow ratios.

    If the models are slightly too mild in the column, then that amount of QPF that even they simulate should translate to snow projections closer to the GF uselesS.

        1. I’ll see if I can dig it up later as I am already outside working on a project.

          But the basic idea is something I have already said here several times leading up to this event and something that has not changed.

          Starts as wet snow ( rain for some of the region before it flips over to wet snow). It will be a progressively drier snow deeper into the event from northwest to southeast.

  44. Looks like my winter storm “watchless” streak continues at Day 933 since I moved to south coast from Minneapolis (where a low is forecast for -16f Tuesday am). Winter weather advisory here in South Dartmouth. I am hopeful the one of these future storms will lead to the Golden Shovel award here for the South Coast

  46. Mike Masco

    THE MOST SNOW IN 130 YEARS POSSIBLE IN LOUISIANA THIS WK!!!
    The last time #NewOrleans saw 1” of snow was back in 1963.. THIS much snow across the state goes back well before that! To say this event is significant is an understatement.. do they even have salt and plow trucks along the I-10 corridor?? .. my guess is not!

    https://x.com/mikemasco/status/1880707627983786426?s=61

  49. 850 mb and 925 mb temps are sufficiently below freezing,so
    even if it starts as rain, it should flip to snow quite quickly.
    This mild air is basically at the surface only.

  50. It is COLD to our N&W. Currently only19 at Burlington, VT.
    This cold WILL be draining into this system. Just a matter of time.

  52. From my neophyte level, it looks like the models today are pointing to more 3-5 inches than some higher totals mentioned. Are they expected to bounce back or being ignored for some reason?

    1. #MeteorologyNotModelology.

      Also, my general 4 to 8 inch forecast contains 2/3 of the 3 to 5 range. 🙂

  53. This is probably a good time to remind everybody that the difference between 4 inches and 6 inches of snow is about 0.2 inch melted.

    It’s really not that big a deal how many inches fall. It’s about the CONDITIONS.

    Also, ranges like 4-8 inches are NOT cop outs. Nice try, Chuck. It’s so fun looking at you on the other side of the window sometimes. You put yourself there buddy. 😉

    And now, back to the weather, and doing it the right way. 🙂

  56. That 24th system.

    Interesting from this far out, because there’s some southern stream moisture, but there’s definitely a northern stream piece of energy that’s trying to bend the flow back on the east coast.

    And I’m sure that energy is in a well sampled place.

    Without that good sampling yet, it does seem to be creeping a little closer.

    It’s a watcher in 48-60 hrs to see if there are more model changes once that energy comes into better sampling.

    2. Long way to go, but that one is a significant snow threat (as far as I can tell this far out) for southeastern New England. Also, another one comes along about one week from today (Jan 26).

  57. Joe B tweeted ( I am paraphrasing)that after these next 2 weeks winters goes away for a while. Them comes back late winter . Tk do you agree with this ?

  58. After this event, Boston will be about 1/2 way to their monthly average snowfall for January, with 3 legit chances to reach it (~January 24, ~January 26-27, ~January 30-31).

  59. We just dropped from 43 to 42

    Please note this may NOT be true.

    Is it a rumor that Allen Media Group is eliminating all local Mets and defaulting to the weather channel for coverage?

    From James Spann. I noticed our friend Emily’s comment.

    https://ibb.co/98FMVcy

  60. Ahhh the sweet sound of folks trying (and failing) to start their snowblowers after 2 years in storage

      1. Mine took some coaxing but finally got it going. Had a full tune up 2 seasons ago but wasn’t used at all last year

  63. New NWS map is closer to what I expect.

    They pushed somewhat higher snow totals further southeast in MA (Plymouth County) and trimmed back the highest totals to a smaller area. This now fits the 4-8 (most of the region), less to the southeast.

    Game about to kick off in Philly – should be a snowy second half.

  64. Yes Charlie, I’m posting this for you. I know you’re glad you still get mentioned. You’re a “legend”. And you know it’s a lie that you’d rather be blocked from posting. You earned that block after MULTIPLE chances.

    But I mentioned you for another reasons. You have now said that when 3 bloggers see my comment, they’ll text you. It’s not like I didn’t know you were in communication with some people, because you’ve mentioned some of them in previously blocked comments, but now you’ve basically admitted it again. Thanks. That was even easier than I thought it would be. 🙂

    Enjoy the rest of the winter! 😉

  68. I’ve seen this movie before. I have a feeling many of us will be complaining about rain holding on way too long cutting down on snow totals. Radar already looks that way. Still holding at 42 degrees here SW of Boston

    1. Shhhh

      Just remember, it is plenty cold enough just above us.
      It shouldn’t rain too long, but we shall see. I’d be more concerned about the fall off in snow totals from MOST of the models. IS it real?

    3. I mentioned this to Tk since yesterday & today & he assured me that will not be the case . I have been saying I had a bad feeling all weekend but I need to trust above .

  69. Here’s and honest question.

    What are the Mets seeing that ALL of the models are now missing? I am serious. Most curious. Do the mets expect more
    lift and Frontogenesis than the models are depicting?

  70. Everything on track – start time / rain vs. mix vs. snow.
    I do like the lower half of my 4-8 range for the majority of its area. Everything else remains the same as this morning’s discussion, so from my perspective there is currently nothing else to add.

  71. This is right around the time that people see raindrops (that were expected) and panic. 🙂

  72. Also a reminder. When I (or other meteorologists) give a range for snow accumulations, PLEASE stop focusing on the top number. Focus on the RANGE.

    These should be automatic now.

    You know what’s really annoying? Me: “Expect 3 to 6 inches.” Storm occurs, person gets 3 inches. Person (to me): “I thought you said we were getting 6 inches!” Me: ** FACEPALM **

    1. The announcer said hard snow but not sleet. I’m
      Paraphrasing so not a direct quote and can’t link the tv.

  75. Down to 39 at Logan. It is just under 41 here and falling as was expected. Shouldn’t take too much precip to get the rain to flip to snow. On Radar, it Looks like it should be precipitating here, but NOPE. Still DRY.

    1. If it becomes 1 inch per hour, it won’t be for long.
      Not a snowballs chance in hell of 2 inches per hour.

  81. I understand your frustration. The lower number of the lower half of the range puts a single point estimate at 4. My plow guy only comes for around 3. Maybe I should get some fresh gas just to be safe. Thanks

  82. I understand your frustration. The lower number of the lower half of the range puts a single point estimate at 4. My plow guy only comes for around 3. Maybe I should get some fresh gas just to be safe. Thanks

    1. I really think a lot of people still don’t understand what goes into forecasting snowfall amounts as close as possible.

      The meteorology behind this is so complex, and understanding it is a very difficult undertaking. And understanding the meteorology is important, so much more important than just looking at automated output.

      Meanwhile, the internet is populated with fakers that end up looking really bad and somehow deflecting the blame to us (us, meaning myself, SAK, JMA, WxW). We work really hard to get where we get, and we’re taken for granted by a lot of people out there. I’m fortunate that people here actually understand this.

        1. Me too! And I imagine there are many other often silent but supportive and deeply appreciative consumers of not only the forecasts presented here but also the information/explanations regarding “why.” As always thanks so much for what you do!

    1. I was thimkng the same and wondered red if it has anything to do with maybe advance hints of my post above.

  92. Taking a break to cook mom’s dinner, then have mine.

    I’ve had a moderate migraine for 24 hours. So need to take eyes off screen and maps for a bit.

    2. me thinks I was mistaken. i think it was just some bigger rain drops. looks like all rain, but getting ready, I think.

    1. Some sticking on the road. It’s a side road not heavily travelled. I’m a bit surprised it started sticking on the wet road this quickly.

  98. Maps have told me it’s been snowing in Amesbury for an hour. Can confirm, 38 degrees and all rain still. Waiting on the change.

    1. Same here in Sharon. Radar says snow, wunderground says snow, but my hand out the window says rain. This system is flying too.

  99. I never had any rain where I am.
    Speaking of snow I enjoyed watching the snow game between the Rams and Eagles.

  101. Moderate rain at 39 in pembroke. I think this is over around 1am I heard , that’s 6 hours to do what it’s going to do in different areas .

  103. Temp has dropped quickly, 36 here now. One thing I noticed today was how quickly the ground thawed with just a couple days in the 40s.

    1. We are 32. Five miles in Uxbridge is 37. Ya gotta feel for anyone trying to put a forecast out. Yet we are blessed with the best of the best with TK and our local meteorologists.

  104. Wankum has me in the 3-6 just now . I don’t know , I really don’t but again trust above . This is not hanging out all night it’s a fast storm

  105. 38 here and STILL RAIN. It’s Been raining for 2 hours now. did NOT expect that. SURE I expected some rain at the outset, but I honestly expected it to flip within an hour or so. I am LOSING patience! This is PISSING me off! Now, ask me how I feel. 🙂 🙂 🙂

  107. 23Z HRRR and RAP both just ticked up to 6+ inches kuchera for the event, even with the rain. So we’ll see.

    2. Needed that wind to turn MORE towards the North. That did the trick. OCEAN influence on the boundary layer for sure!!!!
      Now we’re good, at least until we get a lull in precip.

  109. Thanks TK. Far as I can tell, your forecast looks right on track. It’s a fast mover, but many hours of moderate to locally heavy snow to go. It’s solid snow well back into the mid-Atlantic at this hour. 4-8” amounts will be very common pretty much everywhere in SNE besides far southeast MA.

  110. Heavy rain in South Dartmouth along Buzzards Bay – between last night and now this we may have close to an inch of water – still 38 here

  111. It’s a bit of a misconception that storm duration correlates well to higher amounts. Endless hours of light snow really do nothing for you. Most moderate to major storms do most of their damage in a 6-8 hour window where snow is accumulating 1-2”/hr, and this one will be no different. Of course, the true “biggies” are able to combine the intensity and duration aspects. It won’t be breaking any records (unless the daily records for today happen to be very low), but this is pretty much as classic an SNE snowstorm as you can get.

  112. Down to 34 and switched. Again. Not worried about the rain we make up for with just enough intensity. Track is really good for eastern sections.

      1. Thanks Vicki! Good to know that where it’s snowing it’s snowing hard. It’s still raining here but very lightly.

    1. 10 pm ish for us then good snow til 2am and light snow til 3-4 am.

      Going to fall in TK’s ranges down here.

        1. Steady to moderate snow that accumulates about .5 to .75 inches per hour.

          You do that 4-5 hrs and then get another 1/2 in – 1 inch then 2 and 4 am and there’ll be 3-5 inches on the ground come sunrise.

  129. I definitely think Buffalo can beat KC and they already have this year . Oh to see that look on Patrick’s face would be priceless.

  135. Now can Josh Allen and the Bills beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? These two teams played in a classic in the divisional round a couple years ago which the Chiefs won in overtime.

    1. Yes, because Buffalo has a running game.

      Chiefs seem to land btwn 20-24 pts per game and I think Allen and co. can get to 30.

  136. I’m rooting for Buffalo & Washington superbowl . Just flipped to snow a second ago . Josh Allen against the rookie

  138. So between yesterday’s rain and now today’s rain we have accumulated 1.3 inches of water
    In Padanarram Village along Buzzards Bay. Pretty impressive. The changeover is starting now but sticking will be tough with air temp still at 37.

    1. We were still at 36 when it changed here and accumulation was immediate. I was really surprised. Hopefully it will be fairly fast there

  144. Great day skiing at Sugarbush today. Had a few inches of fresh powder last night which made a big difference in the conditions this am. Had some beautiful scenery near the summit with snow/rime ice pasted trees as well as views of Lake Champlain, Mansfield, the ADKs . I’ll post some pictures tomorrow.

    The ride back as expected was white knuckle. It was fine until we reached about 30 miles north of Brattleboro and then we hit a wall of snow and conditions rapidly deteriorated. Was snowing very hard at 1-2”/hour in southern VT and then things improved a bit in MA and CT with lighter snow rates. Took us 5 hours and 15 min to get home (should have taken 3 hours 45 min).

    Back here in Coventry, roads were terrible but definitely underwhelmed by the snow intensity and amounts that fell in the area. I just went out and measured 3.25” and storm is pretty much done. Certainly not close to warning criteria snow. I guess a lot of the models dialing back on the snow amounts this am should have been a red flag.

  145. What a disappointment this was…..
    That’s all I’ll say.

    The numbers will speak for themselves tomorrow.

  147. All of a sudden snowing moderately again here and snow is getting blown around by gusty winds. The areas we have shoveled are coated over again.

    1. Cool. Looks to maybe be headed this way

      I’m seeing several 4” measurements in towns around me which fit nicely into the predictions. I saw a 7 in Ashford….no clue where that is..,and 7 in north Worcester

  148. A new area of snow is forming and should be good for up to 1 more inch in much of the region.

    Amounts will come in a bit low in some areas, and on low end of ranges in most areas. But I don’t need to obsess about how many inches and tenths fall. You apply the science. You make your prediction. The results are what that are. Most people will appreciate it, and the nasty people will trash you behind your back because they are who they are. I don’t care, honestly. It’s beautiful out there. I get to do what I enjoy, and my mom will still be with me as she turns 93 on Tuesday. 🙂

    Goodnight all. 🙂 Even you bullies out there. Hope you find a way to be better people than you are. 😉

    Now it’s time to take my migraine outside to do snow removal, take a nap, then head to serve breakfast to my memory care friends in the morning.

    1. Have been having the same thoughts and could not have said it better

      Just look out the window and see the absolute beauty sent by Mother Nature. For once maybe we can get back to seeing positives

      Well done TK. Always know how grateful we are for all you have given us

    1. Snowfall Reports through Midnight for Main Climate Sites] Boston 3.8″, Hartford 3.5″, and Providence 2.0″.

      1. Thanks Vicki. Hopefully there will be a bit more before it ends for good as TK mentioned above. ❄️ 🙂

  151. This was never expected to be a blockbuster storm by any stretch as it is just moving too fast away from us. Winter is not over yet. ❄️

  152. Weather bug is saying that we will be dry and sunny for the next 10 days. I think that means the next three storm threats will all be out to sea.

      1. I heard one of the tv Mets (Wankum?) mention that Atlanta is in for some snow soon. Is that the Wednesday system?

  153. Vicki to answer your earlier question: allen media doesn’t own any stations in new england, so no worries there.

  154. I’d say we have 2 inches of wet snow, it looks really nice.

    I see that 2nd piece approaching.

    Great job TK, it will be nice to have snow cover for a while.

  155. 4.0 here, not done.
    The first 1/2 inch was sticky, but not heavy. The rest of it is fluff.

    1. I’m still outside now about halfway through my snow removal and it’s absolutely beautiful out here.

    1. 4.2 here. Snow just picked up again.

      Kind of funny that my first call 2 days ago is the one that verified better than my last update this morning. 🙂

  157. Hmm… That snow area is expanding and intensifying as it comes in. Looks like more areas are going to fall well within the forecast ranges after all. I’m up to 4.3 and climbing – not crazy rates but pretty steady.

    1. I haven’t been out to measure but don’t think I have as much as you though still alternating between light and moderate. Back end looks like it is in Worcester.

    1. Cool.

      I’ve got 3 to 3.5 ……… 2 “ of cement topped with a much drier content of snow.

      Down to 21F at the nearby Marshfield airport.
