SUMMARY…
\nA quick look at the weekend storm. Snow totals were higher than expected by me in portions of the region for both part 1 and part 2 of the storm. Both times these higher areas were portions of eastern MA and southeastern NH, also parts of RI as well for for part 1. Boston’s snow total of 16.2 inches for the latest storm brings their seasonal total to 95.7 inches so far moving it into 3nd place on the all time snowiest winters list. #2 is the 1992-1993 Winter with 96.3 inches but that is in close reach, and they are within 10 inches of the #1 snowiest Winter, 1995-1996 with 107.6 inches. With additional snow threats in the forecast, Boston has a very real chance of reaching #1 with the 2014-2015 Winter, after having only 5.5 inches through January 23! Incredible. Now onto the week upcoming. It’ll be an Arctic Monday, Presidents Day, with bright sun, gusty winds with blowing snow, and frigid air. Low pressure tracks out of the Southeast States and off the Atlantic Coast Tuesday bringing a shield of snow to the region. Light to moderate snow amounts are likely, with greater totals further southeast and less to the northwest. Additional snow showers are likely Wednesday as upper level low pressure slowly traverses the region. Another blast of Arctic air arrives Thursday and Friday before broad trough moves in and brings another snow threat for next weekend.<\/p>\n
