Snow for the cape

 There isn't much talk about Thursday's storm since the track has gone south.

There will be a few inches on the cape and maybe a dusting in towns just north of there. I wonder if we will ever get the big one this winter?

If anything changes I will be sure to blog about it, but for now there is nothing to get excited about unless you hate snow. 

Thursday storm going south

 Just a quick update on the storm coming this way for Thursday… the storm track has gone south so we will not be getting a foot of snow. If course the storm is still 4 days away so things could change. I will keep you posted. 

Snow and Ice

Are you ready for the snow, ice and rain coming our way? Although the precipitation will end Sunday afternoon we will still have some big effects on Monday. The slushy mess on streets and in your driveway will become sheets of ice and the high winds will bring down branches and power lines so make sure all your devices are fully charged.  One meteorologist said that some ski lifts may have to shut down Monday due to high winds so plan accordingly.

The snow will begin falling early this evening and continue throughout the night. In the predawn hours we will begin the change over to ice and then southern Mass will become all rain and we will get a lot of rain. then all those wet surfaces will freeze over night Sunday and Monday. Some parts of the state will have dangerous amounts of ice.

Before the change over to ice and rain we will be getting accumulating snow so here are a couple of maps I found today with snow totals.

Once we get past this weekend I will focus on the protentional for a major winter storm coming Thursday. 

Stay safe everyone!

ready for more snow?

 Here we go again. We have another storm coming this weekend. Late Saturday afternoon into Sunday. The precip will start as all snow and after we get a few inches it will change to ice. Hopefully you don't have to drive early Sunday morning. Late morning the ice will change to rain. 

Here are a few snow total maps. 

After this storm passes we start to watch the next one which is coming Thursday. The first snow total map I saw was the GFS computer model which has crazy high amounts which I am sure will be much lower when the storm actually gets here.

The weather channel has predicted 6-10 inches but we all know that amounts change as the storm gets closer. 

Sorry for all the kiddos hoping for a snow day. This storm falls during February school vacation.

I'll post another update as the Thursday storm gets closer. 

Be careful if you have to go out in the ice Sunday morning.

The Snow Keeps Coming

 I am really getting sick of these small 1-3 inch amounts of snow. I would love to have just one BIG snowstorm this winter.

Coming up....

Our next chance of snow is Saturday into Sunday. According to weather.com we will get little more snow than we got today but it will turn to ice and then to rain

After this weekends storm I will keep an eye on the potential for another on little bit of snow on Thursday February 20th

I'll be back with another update sometime tomorrow morning. 

Three small storms

 We have 3 storms headed to us in Massachusetts this week, but all 3 will be small storms which means not much snow. 

The first comes through late Tuesday night. This storm is tracking too far south to give us snow.

Then a round of snow comes through Wednesday night but changes to a wintry mix early Thursday morning and then to all rain by mid morning as temperatures will climb to 40 degrees. We could get a couple of inches before the change over.

And finally we get more snow Saturday night into Sunday. This storm also looks to give us a few inches and then change to rain because the track is bringing the storm inland. If anything changes on this track I will let you know.

Stormy pattern this week.

 Hello snow lovers, we have a couple of chances for some white stuff this week but no big amounts, sorry.

First chance is Tuesday night but this is only for southern Mass. This storm track may come a little further North but right now it looks to stay south.

Then it snows again Wednesday night giving everyone a couple of inches before changing to a wintry messing mix Thursday morning and then changing to all rain.

And then once again we have a weekend storm coming Saturday night and Sunday morning. Since this storm is so far away I haven't been able to find much information yet. I will continue to find as much information as i can and update this blog each day. 

Active Pattern

 Well that weekend storm was a dud. Only 3 inches at my house. We have more chances for snow this week. I will be keeping an eye on Wednesday night into Thursday and then again Saturday and Sunday. I will post more details tomorrow afternoon. 

Snow Tonight

 A few new snow total maps were posted this morning so I have them here. Still expecting more than 6 inches. The snow should start between 9 and 10 tonight and continue through late morning tomorrow. The heaviest will occur between midnight and 5 am. The good news is that you should be all set to head out to your super bowl parties late Sunday afternoon. If anything new comes up, I will post again this afternoon.

Get the snow blowers ready to go!

*7:20 pm update - the snow may arrive a little earlier. You may see the first flakes around 8:00

Snow Update

 Not much changed over night. Still expecting snow to arrive late Saturday night and last into early afternoon on Sunday.

here are the snow total maps I found online this morning. If I find more maps or if the snow totals change, I will post again tonight. If nothing changes I will be back tomorrow morning. Get the snow blowers ready!

First snow total maps

 Some meteorologists have posted their first maps with snow totals for Saturday night and Sunday. The snow should start between 10 pm and midnight Saturday and continuing until early afternoon Sunday. 

Here are the first maps that have been posted. I’m sure these will change and there will be more posted tomorrow so I will update the blog tomorrow morning. 

 

Winter Storm "Garnett"

 Since today's snow event is just about over, time to talk about the next one...

Winter storm Garnett is headed our way late Saturday night into Sunday. This is the headline from the weather channel

This should be our biggest snowfall of the season with most of the state getting over 6 inches and some places up to a foot. 

We all know that the weather changes day to day, so I will keep reading all the updates on this storm and will post here at least once each day if not twice. 

I am expecting some meteorologists to post snowfall total maps tonight. If that happens I will post them tonight.

Hope you enjoy the snow because we have more coming next week too. 

More Snow

Hope everyone is enjoying their snow day. I saw most of the State has closed due to the timing of this snow/ice storm. 

After this storm we have to keep an eye on Saturday night. There is a potential for more than 6 inches this weekend. 

I will pay more attention to the weekend storm after I get through today. I will post an update tomorrow.

Thursday Snow

 Tomorrow’s storm isn’t going to give us a lot of snow but the timing is tough and there will also be ice which is more dangerous. The storm starts in the morning and peaks in early afternoon. Getting to work or school may not be a problem but heading home may be rough. 

Schools will have a tricky decision to make. Usually we think of a snow day when there will be several inches of snow. Tomorrow we may only have 3-4 inches but will be slippery travel. 

I had a medical appointment in Boston at noon time and I rescheduled. So glad I don’t have to be on the roads tomorrow.stay safe everyone 

lots of small snow amounts

There are NO big storms in sight but there are several chances for a little snow to fall. The first chance is Thursday morning with it changing to rain in the afternoon. I have to drive to Boston that day for a medical appointment so the snow does not make me happy.

Then we have a chance of getting 3 or 4 inches over the weekend. probably Saturday night.

Wednesday February 12th we may get a few more inches 

And yet another chance for a few inches on the weekend of the 15th.

Maybe one of these chances will turn into something bigger. I will keep you posted.

A little more snow

 No Big storms yet! We have another chance at 1-3 inches of snow for Sunday night into Monday morning. Not enough to close schools but enough to make the morning commute a little tricky.

Should anything change with this snow forecast, I will update the blog. If it all stays the same then I will be back next week with an update of the chance of snow next Sunday night. The timing for this snow is perfect for a snow day if only we would get more than 3 inches. sorry!
