Finishing Stages
Posted by Jeremy Reiner
Alright, I guess we can still have powerhouse snowstorms in Boston--it's been 2 years since we had a snowstorm like this. In fact, the 21.8" of snow (as of 9am) puts this storm into the top 10---number 6 to be exact. here is a sampling of other storm:
Worcester 28.0"
Topsfield 20.0"
Belmont 27.0"
Natick 23.0"
Norwood 24.0"
Acushnet 12.5"
Plymouth 11.5"
Just like that it, this storm pushes our seasonal snow totals up near normal---and beyond for Worcester. The storm was also responsible for some incredible wind gusts. Check these out:
Hyannis 84mph
Nantucket 77mph
Barnstable 75mph
Scituate 68mph
Fall River 63mph
Brookline 58mph
Not bad for a storm named after a fish. #Nemo. Moving forward we see this storm slowly pull away during the afternoon taking the final snow band & strong, gusty winds with it. Cold though, as wind chills stay pinned down into the teens for much of the afternoon.
By Sunday, cabin fever will be in full force & the good news is you'll have a great winter day to bust out of those cabins. Brilliant sunshine & no wind for the entire day with afternoon temps in the 30s. An epic day for skiing, sledding or just playing in the backyard with the kiddos.
Monday it's back to work & school and also back to inclement weather as another storm moves in--relax----a weaker storm that starts as some light snow but actually ends as some light rain/freezing drizzle Monday evening. Sunshine is set to return Tuesday.

Pulling The Fade
Posted by Chris Lambert
Our fun in the sun ends this afternoon as morning sunshine fades behind thickening clouds. As those clouds increase, a few showers break out this afternoon from west to east, with the highest chance for rain late afternoon and this evening. Most of the showers are light, especially the early afternoon ones, but a heavier shower or two is possible near day's end and early this evening. Highs reach the mid to upper 60s around noon, then fall back to near 60 mid to late afternoon thanks to scattered showers. These showers are brought to us by a warm front.
Back and Forth

Quite a few clouds in the sky at times this afternoon, but the atmosphere lacked ample moisture to produce showers, so we made out just fine with temps near 70. Even the coast made it well into the 60s before the onshore wind knocked temps back.
Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Sure, it's a cool start with many of the suburbs down into the upper 30s and lower 40s, but we'll warm up quickly through the day as that sun helps us out.
Strong Finish

An overall cooler day, but also a great end to the workweek as highs neared 70, low humidity continued and plenty of sunshine dominated the skies. Now all we need is this to continue through the weekend right?
