Snow Way?....Way
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
It's going to snow later today and for some of you, a lot. Another winter storm is taking aim on New England. This won't be quite as powerful as its older brother from a few days ago (in terms of wind & coastal flooding) but it will require you to gas up the snow blowers & ready the shovels & plows....but not in the same spots.
Here's what we're thinking on the storm:
*First snowflakes arrive between 12-2pm.
*Storm is a 12 hour storm---from 1pm today until 1am Sunday.
*Height of the storm will be from ~5pm until 11pm tonight.
*Metro Boston and cities/towns along south shore will actually see plain rain for a few hours early this evening before changing to a heavy snow.
*Just about entire area receives a plowable snow (2" or more), our *Special Map* in our *Maps section* details snowfall potential with this storm.
*Wind will gust along south shore/cape islands between 20-30mph this evening & overnight tonight.
*Cape & Islands won't see accumulating snow until after midnight tonight.
*No concern of coastal flooding with this storm
*Travel will be poor later today & especially this evening/ overnight.
What am I missing??---hit me on twitter if you need gaps filled in.
As for the remainder of the weekend, our storm will explode as it departs the region early tomorrow morning and that means a windy & cold Sunday with northwest winds 15-30mph for the entire region. That will keep wind chills in the 10s & 20s for the entire day (including Gillette stadium). The sun will shine though.
Looking into day 366 for 2012, it will offer a bunch of clouds & even a few flurries for First Night festivities. Afternoon highs on Monday reach the low 30s & evening temps in the upper 20s.
Enjoy that snow today.

Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees. Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight. No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May. As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!
This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees. So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right? Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

Rain, rain, rain...
...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.
