That Silly Groundhog

Posted by Pete Bouchard

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.

Pretty Good Weekend Overall

Posted by Chris Lambert

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?

Still Good

How about yesterday?  The 82 in Boston matched the warmest temp we've had since September 13th.  Of course, with a wind gusting past 30mph and relative humidity near 18%, it certainly didn't feel oppressive. 

Top 10?

Lower 80s, low humidity and sunshine... would you call it a top 10 kind of day?  Only complaint, other than it not being the weekend, is maybe the wind was a bit much?  It certainly was gusty, at times blowing 30-35mph.  No sea breeze will move inland with a strong west wind like that.
