The title is a phrase I have said, and still say, during snowy patterns in the late winter \/ early Spring. It seems like when we get into these patterns here in southern New England that it just finds any way it can to snow, and snow more than it “should”, at least in a good part of the region. It’s been doing that this evening and continues to do so as I write this update. Snow showers have been breaking out and moving west to east across the area. This is being triggered by an upper level disturbance that is still moving through. And it’s not going to be long before we are talking about a snow threat again, like how about right now? After this gets out of here we will see a chilly, gusty day on Wednesday with sun and clouds, and only a few isolated snow showers which should stack in the hills and mountains to the west and north, though one or two may find their way into this area. Elongated upper level low pressure will be in place over the northeastern US through the end of the week, and a connection between it and an intensifying storm at sea on Thursday will result in an inverted trough (haven’t we heard this a few times?) over the region. This will trigger another snow threat. Accumulating snow is possible, especially in eastern areas, and the greatest threat seems to exist for Cape Cod this time. A few to several inches of snow cannot be ruled out. As always, inverted troughs are hard to forecast and there is a chance that not too much comes of this threat.<\/p>\n
The colder than normal pattern will continue and the next storm threat comes at the end of the weekend or the start of next week, but right now there is a pretty fair chance that this particular storm system will evolve too far south to directly impact this area. Nevertheless, it needs to be watched.<\/p>\n
