SUMMARY…
\nAnd more synoptic surprises in a Winter that is stacking up as many of those as inches of snow. Go figure. We’ll save the analysis for later and just say that snow amounts for not only part 1, which overachieved for some areas but not all, but for part 2 have overachieved but in even more locations, especially eastern MA (as usual) where an intense comma-head snow band took shape about 30 to 50 miles further southwest than I expected. The NWS was concerned about this and I give them props for putting it out there as a wild card to the snow amounts. Even they had to add to the totals, but not as much as I do. So going forward, the rest of this would be a repeat of the last entry regarding the weather set up for the rest of today and well into the coming week, so we’ll just go to a forecast update and save the next full discussion for The Week Ahead post later today. Plus there are so many comments on the previous entry it’s time to hit “refresh”.<\/p>\n
