That Silly Groundhog

Well, it's in the books. Officially 24.9" in Boston with the Blizzard of 2013. While some are left to wonder 'where do I start cleaning up?' we draw comparisons.
This storm ranks as the 5th greatest snowfall in Boston's history behind the mighty April Fools' Day Blizzard of 1997:
Did it snap you back into winter mode? If it didn't, the cold tonight certainly will. Low temperatures will tumble into the single digits - some just below zero - and low teens! Cold start tomorrow, but the 'warmth' of the (almost) February sun will shine through. Highs should manage to crack freezing and do some melting.
But where will the melted snow go? Back into the snowpack at night to refreeze. Watch your step Monday morning. And don't forget, that there are always several post-storm mornings to adjust to navigating snowbanks and step over new obstacles on the sidewalks.
Together we can...
...drive on the roads again.

Summer officially starts Friday at 1:04 A.M., and Mother Nature's sending in summer weather for us just in time. Mid to late June averages highs near 80 degrees, and we'll be there temperature-wise over the next few days. Mostly dry too!
That's A Wrap--I Think

I hope I'm not jinxing us with this statement.."The recent wet pattern is over....onto sunshine & a more summer- like pattern.." The last time someone from 7 weather called a pattern change too soon we got a blizzard and 3 subsequent nor'easters (looking at you Pete!!--LOL). We don't have to worry about any blizzards or nor'easters but one never knows in the new world order.

If you were caught in those 'cloudbursts' today, you had more than you could handle in the rain department. Torrents fell in a short amount of time - what we deem 'flash flooding' in the weather biz. Since it happens suddenly, the National Weather Service has adopted the acronym TADD:
Bam! Pow!

Bam. Pow! Those were some nasty storms last evening with some towns in metrowest & the city itself blasted with locally heavy rain, hail, lightning and strong wind gusts. A cool front is the culprit and that front will linger across the region again today. That means another round of some scattered showers & t-storms likely.
