DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 9-13)
Three storms impact the region during this 5-day forecast period. The first is the ongoing one, which is in its late stages as low pressure begins to pull away. A trough extending from it passing through the region this morning deposits another coating to 2 inches of snow atop what fell so far, bring the region into the lower to mid portion of the forecast ranges posted yesterday. Drier air arrives later today and tonight, lasting through Monday, as high pressure builds in with fair weather returning. The next storm to deal with is low pressure passing south of our area late Tuesday to early Wednesday. The main bulk of this one is going to stay south, and its northern fringe will impact at least the southern portion of our region with a light snowfall. After a brief pause, a more potent low pressure area will move our way via the Midwest, and this one will make more of a direct hit on the region Thursday. Currently, at day 5, this system looks similar in some ways to last Thursday, quick-moving, cold air in place for a snowy start, and maybe a variety of precipitation occurring before it moves out of the region. Obviously, those details need some time to be worked out, but you know this will take place over the next several blog posts.
TODAY: Cloudy into midday with an additional period of snow northwest to east, accumulating under 1 inch western half of region, 1-2 inches eastern half, also some ocean-effect snow showers on a portion of the MA South Shore for a few hours can also add a little to the accumulation in that area. Breaking clouds / partial sun mid to late afternoon. Highs 26-33. Wind NE shifting to NW increasing to 5-15 MPH, a few higher gusts by day’s end.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 13-20. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, diminishing.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs 30-37. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 7-14. Wind W under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY: Increasing clouds. Highs 25-32. Wind N under 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. A period of snow, mainly from the I-90 region southward. Lows 17-24. Wind N up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY: Cloudy. Chance of snow South Coast region early. Highs 26-33. Wind variable up to 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT / THURSDAY: Cloudy. Snow arrives, then may transition to mix/rain before ending. Temperatures range 25-35 regionwide. Wind NE to variable 5-15 MPH, possibly stronger.
DAYS 6-10 (FEBRUARY 14-18)
Fair weather February 14 with an area of high pressure moving in briefly. Next storm threat comes later February 15 through February 16 with probable snow/mix, before fair weather returns again later in the period. Temperatures near to below normal.
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 19-23)
Temperatures variable but averaging near to below normal for the period. Pattern remains active one or two potential precipitation events.
Thanks TK
Moderate snow here.
Thanks, TK!
Thanks TK !
Logan just updated to 4.3 inches. Only need 3.3” on this band, lol !
At least they’re into the forecast range. I’m sure I’ll still be told the forecast was wrong. 😉
Perfectly in the forecast range !!
Just not near my guess. 🙂
Another great forecast by you and all the Boston mets. Timing, speed of system, snow ranges, when it would be heaviest or lighter snow.
Indeed!!!
Good morning andcthank you TK.
Snow was unimptmressive here.
Still snowing decently, so final total will be going up, but judging bby looking out, I’d say about 3-4 inches here so far. will measure soon.
Watched Eric last night who explained that dry air intrusion pretty well. He cut totals to 4-6 for ares south of about rt 2. and 6-8 North of there. Based on what I was seeing last night, it made perfect sense to me.
With the current snow, perhaps Boston will still make 6 inches, but good chance it will not. We shall see soon enough.
My guess was 5 8, so I am rooting boston does not make 6.
btw, Eric did Not think they woukd
BUT it is snowing pretty good and accumulating. Going to be close.
Your going to be very close, if not exact !!
Btw, given the possibility of that dry air intrusion, the 4-8 forecast range was clearly a great call TK. Good call.
That band looks meaner on radar than what’s falling.
Not here. I’ve gotten 1 inch from it since 6:45. It’s about to pick up steam there and this one should be good for about 1 more inch in that area. Account for approximately 0.5 inch settling as well if the snow has been approximately 2 inches or more in depth for the last 6 hours.
You reeeaaaly want me to get to 4” don’t you, lol
No. I was actually telling you what was coming and that we usually account for a little settling. I learned that as a novice from the MA State Climatologist, Dave Taylor, in the 1980s. I don’t engage in blog bullcrap. That was the job of the guy I kicked off here that tries to coach people from behind the scenes. 😉
(He thinks I’m stupid enough not to know that.)
Measured 3” on the dot here in Sharon.
Sounds about right
I haven’t gone back out to “officially” measure yet. My son and I will be teaming up for the cleanup after this band moves through, which has added about 1 inch to my total and the eyeballed total is 5+ at this point. Pretty good at the eyeball total as I have 47 years of practice – having started observations at the age of 10. 🙂
Quick poll…
How many people here are on Facebook and link the blog through the Woods Hill Weather Facebook page? (You don’t need to disclose your real name if you don’t use it here.)
I don’t. That’s technology, which I’m a dinosaur at.
I type w each time and it just comes up and I select.
My clusters social studies colleague is a student I had 15 years ago. Should see her on google docs or other apps. My head spins watching what she could do. I’m like, slow down, I’m trying to log on. 🙂
I don’t understand the question, isn’t the blog always linked there? Are you talking about sharing the blog link on our own personal Facebook page? Is so, the answer is no for me
No. There are some people who don’t use Facebook (and other social media) and just come directly to the blog on their browser (laptop, computer, phone). I was curious how many people click it while on Facebook. I’ve been exploring an expansion to other platforms as well.
I don’t often ask anybody share the link on their own page. And it’s certainly not a requirement. People can do that if they want to, but are never looked at any differently if they choose not to. What people do with their own media accounts is none of my business. 🙂
Ohhh gotcha. I access through my browser saved as a favorite. Or via a saved URL on my phones home screen. I “follow” the Facebook page but it very rarely comes up in my feed so it’s just easier to access directly.
I’ve always been pretty sure that the vast majority go directly, and not from FB. But I use FB a lot for local connection, photo posting, and and admin of 2 weather pages (one regional, one international), so I continue to link it there on the WHW FB page, which was created for me by a good friend of mine shortly after the blog’s birth.
I don’t usually. At times if I didn’t check it out myself and I see your FB post I’ll click it and go through there but rarely.
Thanks. Just trying to get an idea of how many come directly to it on browser vs. clicking the FB page link.
I’m directly to the website. An occasional poster.
Thank you
Same as this.
I have an account but ONLY because Dipperburg makes it
impossible to delete an account. I don’t go on there very often. I go months without looking at it. I am basically done
with that piece of crap. 🙂
I’m going to take that as a “No FB, I come here directly on browser.” 🙂
You got that right. I don’t even have WHW book marked.
I have a habit of just typing it in the browser. 🙂
I didn’t know there was a WHW facebook page. I get here directly. Maybe you can install a widget that tells you were all traffic comes from?
Working on that. My techies that can do that for me haven’t had a chance lately to do much. I do know how many visitors come to the blog in general, and it’s in the thousands, which is nice. 🙂
Cindy and Kelly Ann on ch 5
JR and Chris L on ch 7
I was lazy to look at ch 4
All 4 excellent Mets and great presenters of their forecasts.
I just think one met for this kind of event. To their credit, each one of them could have handled it on their own perfectly. Save the 2 Mets per station for the big events and that could contribute to better perspective on snowfall/snowstorms.
You’re among the people who “get it”. Sadly, the majority of the general public remains clueless about understanding what we do and also being able to interpret information. Again, some of that lands on media itself, some of it on the consumer.
Take a look here…
Map of snowfall reports. Ironically, there are areas on Cape Cod that ** GASP ** “over-achieved”. You can also see where the dry air intrusion had the most impact. It’s like a sandwich in between. Although the current snow band will boost some of these totals by about 1 inch. Looks like 80-90% of the region comes in between 4 and 7 inches when the final flakes are done falling.
Some of the short range guidance actually had this nailed (heavier Cape Cod, heavier north, and lighter in between) – some of the HRRR and RAP runs yesterday. Had the media put those maps out like that, they’d have been crapped on by a significant segment of the population (look up the definition of what “significant” means – haha). 🙂
https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html?zoom=8&lat=42&lon=-71.82&hr=24
TK thanks for the storm forecast which was on target! Also hope mom is okay!
I visited her until 8:00 p.m. last night so I could get home before the flakes fell. She was ready to rest anyway. She’s doing well considering. They’ll get things under control. We’ll know more about her timeline today. Just glad I sent her more precautionary yesterday instead of needing 911 this morning. I just saw an ambulance sliding around trying to make a turn down the street here (no crash, just a little wild ride for several seconds).
Thanks TK
4.5 inches of snow with a glaze on top of it. Similar to Thursday just 3.5 inches more of snow
NY 3.1 inches of snow from this system.
10.4 inches of snow for the season
What is BOS up to so far for the season?
Waiting for the final snow total for Logan from this one, then we will see!
First look out the window since 5:30am
I’d say we’re in the 4-4.5 inch range.
It’s snowing lightly.
26 here and still snowing lightly.
The “heavier” band is moving or has just moved through here.
Now left with some lighter snow. Almost done.
https://radar.weather.gov/station/KBOX/standard
06z ECMWF commentary (I know not everybody has access to that)…
This model has continued the trend of putting the Tuesday night threat as “not a miss, but a graze”, hence my forecast above. I think it has the right idea aka simulation.
I also believe this model is over-playing the primary and under-playing the secondary (and cold air) for Thursday’s system, not to the point of “all snow” but to the point of “not nearly as much rain”.
hmmm
even the 6Z GFS has thursday’s system SNOW to SLEET with little or no RAIN. Interesting.
It reminds me a little of last Thursday’s (even though I know that one was so fast that the milder air reaching in at mid levels flipped some areas to rain a bit further north and the snow amounts were very light). It reminds me of that event in terms of its general structure and movement, but with a little stronger cold to come up against.
It’s till a few days away. We “should” at least add to our snow total some for sure. We’ll take it. Perhaps this
one will over achieve in the snow department. 🙂
Thanks TK. 3.5 here but this last band should bring me close to 4 or a little over. Glad your Mom is doing ok.
Instead of a general 6″ snowfall, I probably should have gone with a general 5″ snowfall 🙂
I remain committed to the belief that a large swath of the public only hears the top end of range. Yes, that is their problem, but it is an information provider problem too, because its a known consumption bias, and further leads to this farcical erosion in confidence. Those who went high with the 6-10″ and 8-12″ maps that circulated did not help. Headline on Masslive yesterday afternoon, “Parts of Massachusetts could see up to a foot of snow overnight.” Key word consumed “foot”.
Also, there is no need for television stations to be bringing in two people or their “chief” for 5″ snowfalls. Once again,adds to the perception that every event is a high impact event.
My backyard remains undefeated as the least snowy place in SNE. 2.5″ from this event.
I agree 100% with all that you said. You and TK were clearly voices of reason on this system.
I think Eric did a great job at 11 last night. He recognized what
was going on. I mean he was really good.
No, I think you were AOK with a general 6 inch snow fall.
So if ends up closer to 5, big deal. You nailed it as far as I am concerned.
It is so good to get the REAL information here.
I was still seeing maps from a few days ago being circulated on social media by supposed professional outlets (not TV stations) YESTERDAY. I commented on a few to say things like “this map is a few days old, please update the info you use” etc, but the damage was already done, so I just gave up. The amount of shit out there that us actual forecasters have to try to get through to actually have better information heard is so discouraging.
Head out for clean up. As far as I can tell, this thing is DONE here, save for a few lazy snow flakes. 🙂
Just a few flakes falling here. Over and done!
Thanks TK! I am on the Facebook page as well. I noticed at the initial outbreak of snow a dry slot on radar right over the South Coast right at the beginning. I haven’t measured yet but looks like 5 inches in Padanaram according to NWS with a little more heading our way
Dry slot went as far back as here. This was after it started filling in
https://ibb.co/3YGxJWK3
This last band is not producing the same intensity further south that it apparently is Boston and points north. I’ve been under it for an hour now and it’s that light non-accumulating mood snow at the end of a storm with lots of space between the flakes.
Still snowing here, though lighter now. Easily added 1 inch here. Easily. Total fluff.
Thank you, TK
A perfect 4” in SE Sutton. As advertised. Still light snow.
Logan numbers are here.
https://ibb.co/mFCRxPGM
Well, that didn’t take long. All cleaned up.
Took about 10 measurements, ALL consistently 4.5 inches.
That is all. Very fluffy snow at that, so i don’t think there was much, if any, settling. 🙂
Logan guesses and average
https://ibb.co/zHQPZ1q6
Early call next system: Dusting to 2 inches south of I-90 over a 6 hour period Tuesday night. There is the potential for this system to end up further north still.
Who had Bourne in Barnstable County as the frontrunner through 8:00 a.m.? Nobody. 6.5 inches. hahaha
You answered my question TK as I was going to ask could this system still trend north Tuesday night. The guidance starting last night with the 0z runs showing a northward movement.
Yes it can. In the pattern of rapidly moving systems the model forecast errors can be larger than one would think. Knowing the biases helps alot too.
There are still a lot of “rip & read” (old nickname from the difax days) posts out there that change the “forecast” aka “model interpretation” with every run. You see this largely by the fake mets out there now, where as people who actually know how to do it, do it properly. 🙂
Keep coming north Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
12z NAM

I just measured 6″.
As I push the ruler in, I can feel that there’s 1.5″ of very light fluff on the top from earlier this morning, then a thin crusty layer, and finally almost 4.5″ of snow from the first part of the storm.
The sun is out now and it looks beautiful!
That lead frontogenesis band combined with a colder atmosphere (fluff factor) appears to have dropped a swath of 7-10 inches of snow across south central VT, NH and southern ME looking at that map on the NWS site.
Can I say my guess was for the Portland Jetport instead of Logan ??? 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Although, 7.6 would have been decently under for them, they look to be somewhere near 10.
Yes, but NOT here. 🙂
Indeed.
At one point, I was looking at the Lowell ma webcam and they had what looked like an inch plus of snow. At the time, they were under dark green echos. This was about 11pm last night. Down here, we had light green echos and when I went out on the deck, it hadn’t even flurries yet. That band must have moved north and then the aforementioned dry air aloft did its thing.
I’m still happy and it looks really nice out.
Thanks TK.
1,080 ❄️
DENDRITES WANTED ❄️❄️
Snow coming down here again.
Thanks TK.
3.5″ in Coventry CT. The dry air intrusion won the day here in CT. There was a hard glaze on the top of the snow below the top dusting so there must have been a period of light frz drizzle earlier. We are up to 28F now.
Glad to at least see VT, NH, and ME get in on some good banding last night as Tom alluded to. Ski areas should continue to cash in with the systems later this week as well.
To answer your question earlier TK, I dont use FB and come straight here to access the blog.
Looking at the snow totals, a general 2-4″ snowfall across CT and west/central MA with a few isolated 5″ amounts in southern CT.
https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html?zoom=8&lat=42&lon=-71.82&hr=24
Even Nantucket got more snow than we did, lol. On to the next… Maybe we can overachieve Tuesday and get to 6″ that way 🙂
I don’t use FB either. Never have, never will. 🙂
It is now February 9th and we have NOT yet experienced a good
ole fashion New England Snow Storm. Sure we’ve had some dinky dunkers in the 3-6 inch range, but no REAL snow storm.
WILL we get one before the season is over? my guess is NO.
What is Boston’s official total for today?
Thanks
Every report I can find is old.
Boston’s total still come later this afternoon as Logan only reports every so often. I believe it’s every 6 hours.
Jacob says that Boston WILL get to 6 inches. He didn’t say when though.
I do NOT think so, given that I ONLY measured 4.5 inches.
But then again, Logan would be a tad closer to the Nothern
band. So who knows, but I SERIOUSLY DOUBT Logan got
6 inches with this event. I think the STREAK will continue.
He stated that Logan would NOT get the 6 inches this time but from future events. There are no shortages of opportunities for sure!
1. Too much dry air
2. Too many needles
3. Not enough DENDRITES!!!❄️❄️
I learned all this watching the morning tv mets. It’s good they’re educating the viewing public now, like TK does here every day. 🙂
Hope maybe this will cut down on met bashing via social media.
Looking at the snowfall from reports from NWS Upton NY southern CT got a 3-5 inch snowfall. Officially where the records are kept for the shoreline Bridgeport got 5 inches.
Wow that line of snow coming towards South Coast got eaten away by dry air
Just got a text from Ch 10 Boston, Pamela Gardner
Winter Blast Continues:
3 snowstorms in the forecast for Mass., NH this week
We picked up 6-10 inches of snow overnight, but plenty more is on the way this week.
This type of CRAP INFURIATES ME!!!
Will it ever end?
I think she was a WBZ met at one time.
Yes, I think you are correct.
I’d put money on this: She didn’t write it, and if she did, she was told what to write by somebody who isn’t a meteorologist.
Does station management have THAT much control over the meteorological staff?
It is reprehensible!! Incredibly misleading and downright DANGEROUS!!!!!
This practice MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!
Snow Facts Continued.
Previous facts:
Fact 1: Snow is not white. It is translucent.
Fact 2: The fastest falling flake ever recorded is 10 MPH.
I will issue the Final Four today.
Fact 3 (Yes, you can be skeptical.): The largest snowflake ever recorded measured 15″ in diameter and was 8″ thick. I have come across this many times since 2015. It fell in Montana in the late 1800’s. There are 2 things to be noted. There was never a picture taken of this flake. The snowflake itself is in many, many record books. It is in the Guiness Book of Records.
The reason I came across this in 2015 was that I was looking for the largest snowflake that winter. Apparently in 2015, there was a flake that measured 1.3″ somewhere in NY state.
1.3 inches I have seen before. 15 inches NO WAY!
I have doubted this often but it is cited in so many places! It reminds of a fisherman telling a fish story, but on the other hand it is EXTREMELY difficult to get into the Guiness Book of World Records.
I can’t fathom how a snowflake could grow to 15 inches?
Perhaps it was just a bird covered with snow. 🙂 🙂 🙂
You got me!
They can’t. See below.
🙂
As TK mentions below, What I witnessed was likely several snowflakes stuck together. Based on the look I remember, that makes perfect sense to me.
That stubborn “snow hole” over SE MA at the beginning pretty much set the stage. 🙁
That 15 inch record snowflake was an exaggerated clump of many snowflakes. It’s physically impossible to have a snowflake more than about 0.4 inch across (about a dime size).
Anything larger than that are multiple flakes stuck together.
There is no photographic evidence of the supposed 15 inch wide, 8 inch thick snowflake that is recognized as the largest. I guarantee you, whatever that was, it was NOT a single snowflake.
No, it was definitely not a single snowflake and in fact, it is recorded as a clump of crystals stuck together which does happen though the wind will usually break apart these attached crystals.
It’s still tough to believe, but there so many strange phenomena when it comes to weather.
Nice front end snow on 12z GFS for Thursday morning before any mixing happens.

Logan Airport snow: 5.5 inches.
Thank you. The streak rolls on….
Close but no cigar to ending the 6 inch or more snowstorm drought.
This is as close as they have gotten. Now have had 5.3 and 5.5 inch snowfalls this winter.
Of course, 6 inches is an arbitrary stat. It means virtually nothing. I could pick 5.5, or 6.5. Same thing. We just use 6 because it’s half a foot, and we like to think of bigger snows in terms of feet (ya know, those old British units hahaha). 🙂
Here’s the updated list. A lot of 6 to 8 inch snowfall amounts on it – more than I expected to see, actually…
https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=box&issuedby=BOX&product=PNS
FWIW, this run of the gfs is colder for upcoming systems.
We’ll see, still looking at a massively negative AO and slightly positive PNA
BUT …. Did notice today’s NAO come in slightly less positive than yesterday. That could signal the slight resistance needed at 500 mb to provide just enough resistance.
We’re not quite done seeing that correction.
Pretty solid potential of a moderate snowfall for a lot of the region on Thursday.
I hit 6.”
Not surprised. The only thing that screwed with this forecast was that mid level dry intrusion in a ribbon of real estate keeping some amounts just under the 4 inch lower limit.
The other part that didn’t work out quite as expected were the 4+ inch amounts on parts of Cape Cod. Kind of flipped those 2 areas.

LOL!!!
Just in from snow blowing our drive and two neighbors. Beautiful snow to work with. I even cut a path to my shed and woodpile “just in case” the snow sticks around a while or brings more in the coming weeks. My wife and I like to have a Sunday night fire and watch “All Crestures Great and Small” at 9 and get a breath taking glimpse of the Yorkshire dales. Happy Sunday all!
Discovery channel?? I loved the book.
**Thus the need for access to the woodpile.
6.5 inches in North Reading….upcoming week looks interesting
Alright JpDave, you went 5.8 and Logan got 5.5
Just need you to predict 25 for Logan on a future event and we’re all set !!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I didn’t look again at the list, but anyone else near that 5.5 number, well done !!
I do think I remember the avg of all our numbers was 6.2 ?
The average was 6.2. That is a pretty good group guess.
The irony. Here in Woburn: 6.3 fell, which was my Logan guess. Only off by 12 miles. 😉
🙂 🙂 🙂
Shot had 5.5 exactly!!!
That is Shotime
Superb shotime!
Yeah! Thanks
I guessed 5.2, so close. As we get further into february, I think it’s a good call to “bet the under” or the lower amounts.
Snow Facts (Cont.)
Fact 4: Snow is considered a solid. I absolutely have NEVER understood this. There are 4 states of matter: solid, gas, liquid, and plasma. A snowflake is made up of H2O (liquid) and snowflakes contain something like 90% air (gas). Yes, it’s frozen which I guess makes it a solid but it seems more like a liquid or a gas. I never majored in science which is probably the issue.
12z GFS is definitely colder and back on the snow train dropping nearly two feet in the next systems…
https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=gfs&p=snku_acc-imp&rh=2025020912&fh=198&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc=
Not gonna get my hopes up yet.
Were just over 13 inches down for the season for snow for inland CT. Hopefully Thursday and next weekend will chip away at the snowfall deficit. Maybe Tuesday night into Wednesday will give us a light snowfall.
I’m up to 20.5″ on the season here in Coventry
Thank you TK!
Haven’t been out to measure but I would say no more than 4 inches here.
The Plymouth & Carver spotters both had 4.0 before the last band came through, so it may have been up to a couple tenths over those #’s. Pembroke’s observer said 3.3, but that was also before the final band, so more like 3.5.
I had 6.3 here and it’s already settled nearly 1 inch! So going out to measure later – you HAVE to take settling into account. This was driven into me by the state climatologist I worked with. 🙂
My husband is in Plymouth doing snow removal at his work and he thinks they had close to 5.
Updated Snowfalls to date: ❄️
ORH = TBD*
BOS = 21.7”
NYC = 10.4”
* Worcester AP no report since 12:40 AM
NY might be able to add to that Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
Thanks, TK.
I look at the blog directly.
Thanks, TK.
Looks like we have about 6 inches or snow here in Sudbury. Not doing anything now. Earlier, looked like sun wanted to come out.
Snow Facts (Cont.)
Fact 5: There are 7 major classifications of snow which I believe were determined by the Commission on Snow and Ice which is some sort of a scientific organization. There are different sub-classifications, anywhere from 30+ to 40+. Dendrites, of which there a few sub-classifications, are the most common. Dendrites are what we are most likely to identify with.
The tv Mets this morning mentioned that “dendrites” make the best accumulating snow, which we were lacking with the overnight event. Instead mostly “needles” fell which are basically scraps in comparison.
Had we had more “dendrites” maybe Logan would have had the 6 inches? Oh well.
I hope my interpretation is at least in the right direction of understanding. 🙂
30 minutes more dendritic flakes last night get Logan to 6+.
And there are still people out there who think what we do is easy…
7.5 Fitchburg
The last measurement at Logan was taken at 10:30 AM. Not sure if it snowed any after that.
NO, it did not. Perhaps a couple of mood flakes.
Quick look at the EURO for next weekend RAINORAMA! Plenty of time for that to change.
Looks PATHETIC!!!!!
I’d say pembroke had Aound 4.5 to 5 inches . Had a little weight to it .
Okay, I’ll get the ball rolling! I want the Eagles to win for sure!!
I want the eagles to win for various reasons (jalen was the qb of alabama who i root for, it’s great seeing saquon have a stellar year after being with a bad org, I don’t want the chiefs to threepeat.) But I have an odd feeling that the chiefs are going to win, sadly.
NO QUESTION the Chiefs will win!!!!
i Want the Eagles to win!!! Too many reasons to list.
Alright, here are 2:
1. I can’t stand Travis Kelce (Taylor Swift should run for the hills!)
2. I can’t stand Pat Mahomes
Eagles .I cant stand Patrick !
I can’t root Eagles as a Cowboys fan. You never want to see your rival win the whole thing.
Eagles.
Could NY cut into BOS lead in the snowfall standings. 18z NAM says YES for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=nam&p=snku_acc-imp&rh=2025020918&fh=69&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc=
Based on that run, it would also give DC another decent snowfall for the season. ❄️
Go Eagles! For today anyway.
Game forecast…
Eagles 28
Chiefs 24
OH, yes PLEASE !!!!!!
I am also looking forward to at least one “tush push” in the game. 😉
I’m not a fan of either. The eagles are a rotten team So it’ll be the chiefs for me.
I saw yesterday that Travis spent his first dollars after signing on a building for his at risk youth group so they’d have a place to safely do homework, gather. Etc. Swift devotes a ton of time and dollars to helping others and to thanking her fans.
The one thing I will not watch is the pregame interview.
I don’t watch any preview stuff, even if the Patriots are involved. I just want to watch THE GAME itself, along with the commercials of course.
I’m loving the new Budweiser commercial and krafts is incredible. For the first time I like a commercial over the Budweisers …always a favorite for me
I was kind of hoping it’d be the first ever 0-0 tie. 😉
Oh now. I could get on board with that
Serious question for those who “can’t stand” Pat Mahomes.
What is your reason? Just curious what prompts that opinion. 🙂
Not I. He is an incredible talent. And as with the majority of talented folks his personality sometimes suffers due to the focus on his talent. We have seen the same with many greats. But then most everyone outside of our area hated Brady and was convinced the refs were favoring the pats.
I have had to remind myself of much of what I just wrote on more than one occasion
And I did see you asked those who can’t stand him but ….. 😉
He could surpass TB-12 in terms of SB/NFL records I believe.
He could. It’ll be a task…
I think he is a huge cry baby for one thing.
He is a huge baby & cocky as hell that’s my reason . However, I will say he is a great athlete I just don’t like him .
Storm Update: ❄️
BOS = 5.5”
ORH = 4.4”
Total Snowfalls to date: ❄️
ORH = 25.6”
BOS = 21.7”
NYC = 10.4”
Boston will NOT go away quietly this time! ❄️
They’re on their way to 40-50 inches for the season. 🙂
Marking that one for later reference
Not like it was the first time I said it. It was in my long range forecast in November… 🙂
As I said earlier NY could cut into that BOS lead if the 18z NAM is right for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
18z RDPS also says YES NY you will cut into BOS lead in the snowfall standings.

Snow Facts (Cont).
Last One
Fact 6: Snow can cause blindness but usually only temporarily if at all. Too much sunlight off the snow or probably from anywhere can damage the cornea. The snow can reflect a huge amount of UV light. If you get eye damage from UV light, it can be treated and most of the time at home. When I was in Antarctica, sunglasses were mandatory.
Fabulous Facts!
I know. I want to go back and copy all. My oldest said she and her girls just learned about seeing different colors. I thought they’d like this.
Some may consider this political, but it is the REASON
why my wife and I and my whole family will NOT lay one eye
on this year’s Super Bowl.

Oops sorry about the double link. I guess I am doubly ANGRY.
Disgusting. When racism is considered political, we have lost every shred of decency.
Did you see krafts ad for antisemitism that will air?. I’m hoping more people/companies step up too. But not expecting much
Kraft has done several antisemitism ads and I applaud him for it.
totally agree with you Vicki and JpDave , not watching it
Sorry. I wasn’t clear. I am watching. Like TK I watch for the sport but will add that it’s a sweet memory of games with Mac and my younger brother.
For Thursday’s system, the 18Z GFS has secondary development, enough to keep it mostly frozen, albeit with some sleet.

This is the trend I expected.
It’s likely that the last time I paid any attention to the NFL, some of tonight’s players hadn’t been born yet. Based on my rich knowledge of the game, here are my predictions 🙂
Chiefs: 20
Eagles: 17
I can go with that.
Early call from David Williams (Ch.5):
MOSTLY RAIN next weekend!!! 🙁
He’s only interpreting what is on one or more models. I wouldn’t put much stock in that.
Once upon a time “the models” had last night’s event is snow to rain for the region. Nope.
Feels like the least 21.7” of snow I’ve ever seen.
As JMA, WxWatcher, and I said, a lot of “smaller” events. This is not a pattern of blockbusters. Many “normal” winters don’t seem like much because the events are not major. I rather like it like that, actually.
I think it would be more palatable if the snow stuck around for more than a week or 2
Well, not every winter is the same here. But the amount of snow is still the amount. It’s not somehow counted differently based on how long it stays. That’s a separate state called “snow cover”.
If you want snow that sticks around longer most seasons, northern New England is definitely going to carry it over southern areas.
Chiefs 34
Eagles 31
Snowfalls to date: Updated ❄️
ORH = 26.8”
BOS = 22.3”
NYC = 10.4”
Note: From now on, I’ll wait until the final climo stats come out on the NWS website at the end of day instead of trying to add measurements in my head. My math isn’t usually THIS bad. Sorry. 🙂
I still don’t know where I made my mistake. Oh well.
The removal of a slogan (which I absolutely 100% agree with) is NOT enough for me to miss watching a Super Bowl. Sorry. 🙂
Thanks anyway for posting that info JPD. It’s the first I’ve heard about it. Maybe it will return for next regular season?
I watch this for the teams and players, and the love of the sport. I never let anything outside of that get in my way. These players work really hard to get here, whether they are perceived as crybabies or not. 😉
Reiterated prediction…
Eagles 28
Chiefs 24
I misspoke. It’s hate not antisemitism. It’s with Brady and snoop dog. Scroll down

And I learned at a very early age that you are not supposed to applaud.
I’m not sure if it’s the birds’ great D or the Chiefs poor O-line.
Yikes so far. Commercials are lame too with some exceptions.
I agree about the commercials. Not exactly knocking my socks off.
A few were quite good. Some make me wonder who’d spend over 8M for 30 seconds for mediocre.
I like them
Which ones did you like?
The dodge one ,
Brady & drake
The song about Jesus
I don’t know a lot
Do far in order. But they are few compared to the whole.
– [ ] Brady and snoop dog
– [ ] Budweiser
– [ ] Hey cancer pfeizer
– [ ] Disney was cute
– [ ] Rocket. Country roads
– [ ] Duracell and Tom
– [ ] I am somebody it takes all of us ..not sure of sponsor ..NFL?
– [ ] Breast cancer
– [ ] Pringle’s maybe
So not do
Dunkin one with Belichick
Hmm I must have missed. Although I didn’t think I missed Any. Will look tx
Didn’t miss it. Just didn’t like it. But we all have different tastes which is as it should be
Biggest sporting event & that’s your half time show , ok .
On that we agree.
I am so far pleased with everything I have seen. 🙂
I’ll take Brady and Snoop.
Me too. VERY unusual for me to like an ad over Budweiser
I detest seeing a blowout for any final game. You know both teams earned its spot here.
Absolutely loving the old music on a lot of the commercials. I love it when we’re cruising together!!!
I agree re old music. I have most if not all on my favorite list
Me too
It’s a 4-score game for the Chiefs. They need a score before the end of the 3rd!
And they heard you
KC just didn’t show up. Very sad
Wow on jeep ad
Freedom. The most sacred thing in life isn’t the path. It’s the freedom to choose it.
Liked the Jeep ad.
Game is over!
Sure is over.
I am so Happy. By Patrick !!! Poor Taylor , oh my !!
Yikes
Lol nice absolute destruction of the chiefs.
Reason i dont like Mahomes, is that he is such a divia, he complains always when he is hit his oline always gets away with false starts. I also do not like all the talk of him being in the conversation of being near the goat.
Right on brother . I am absolutely in my glory , perfect way to end a crappy week .
Well they showed up. Just wayyy too late.
Brady’s legacy is saved, at least for now.
With these 2 “messy mix” events coming up on Thursday and next weekend, it’s not likely Boston will be able to reach the 6+ goal.
Oh well, the count continues:
1,081❄️
It’s too soon to talk in “absolutes”. They don’t look like 6+ events for the city initially, but I would not rule out the 2nd one in a colder scenario, which is quite possible.
New post…
