And now the slow wind-down of a long, drawn-out, complex weekend storm system comes as snow gradually tapers off from northwest to southeast as of the writing of this blog late Sunday evening. After all of it, not a whole lot of snow fell in much of the forecast area, but amounts did build up to greater than 6 inches in parts of north central MA into southern NH, with some double-digit snowfall amounts further north in east central NH into Maine.<\/p>\n
During the overnight hours as the final flakes end and the clouds break, watch for some freezing of newly fallen wet snow and slush. Icy spots on untreated surfaces will develop overnight and last through much of Monday morning. Monday itself will be a nice day with sun & some clouds as low pressure moves away and high pressure builds in. This high will hold on into Tuesday before giving way to approaching low pressure late\u00a0 Tuesday into Wednesday. Enough cold air will be in place so that some snow falls in north central MA, interior northeastern MA, and southern NH\u00a0 Tuesday night into Wednesday. But eventually milder air will take over so that rain falling elsewhere will overtake the snow areas as well. The problem is that cold enough air may be trapped at the surface over inland areas, resulting in a set up for icing. This storm system will lead into a long period of unsettled weather as February ends and March begins. It’s hard to time precipitation and specifics on movement and strength of disturbances this far away. That will be fine tuned as the week goes on.<\/p>\n
