Blizzard starts tonight

 Sometimes I get all hyped up about a big storm and then it goes out to sea. Well, that does not appear to be the case with this storm. I did a quick check of snowfall maps this morning and the amounts are all still very high. 

here are some new maps I found this morning. I will probably post one more time later today

Blizzard of '26

 The BLIZZARD warning has been posted! The snow will begin after dark tomorrow night and will continue all day Monday. I think it is safe to say that schools will be closed Monday so February vacation gets extended one day.

This storm comes with lots of wind which usually means power outages so be prepared. Charge all your devices and have candles and flashlights ready. I have a couple of good books to read all day if I lose power.

Every meteorologist has changed the snow maps with slightly higher totals so here is everything I could find. 

As usual, if anything changes I will post again tomorrow. Have fun with the snow clean up but be careful as this will be heavy wet snow 

Will School Vacation be extended?

Students in Massachusetts are supposed to be heading back to school Monday after enjoying a week off. I say "supposed to be" because we may be getting a blizzard which would give many a snow day. 

Make sure you have all your devices are fully charged because this will be heavy wet snow and there will be quite a bit of wind. 

Here are all the snow total maps I could find.

If anything changes over the weekend I will post again.

Weekend Snow/mix

 Happy Friday everyone. We have some more winter showing up today and then Sunday night and all day Monday

Today, in my area of southern Mass, we will be getting a mix of rain/sleet/snow which may turn to all snow for a short period tonight. Be careful driving but at least you don't have to worry about shoveling today.

The next storm storm arrives Sunday night and lasts most of the day Monday and this one is snow. The computer models are starting to agree that the storm will come close enough to produce snow but things could certainly change depending on the track of the storm. As of today there aren't many snow total maps out but I did find a couple. At weather.com I found 4-8 inches and then online I found a map with a little more. 

As more snow map totals are put out I will get them posted here on my blog. Maybe tonight or if not tonight then definitely tomorrow morning.

3 chances for winter precip

Storm #1 - this is a small one. We will get a mix of rain and snow this afternoon and tonight. We may end up with a coating to an inch by tomorrow morning. Areas north of the Mass Pike will get more snow

Storm #2 - This one is a little more potent than storm #1. This one starts early Friday night and continues to Saturday morning. Those that are in he southern part of the state may see some rain misxing in.

Storm #3 - This storm is the most potent but the track of the storm is still uncertain so we could end up with nothing if the storm goes out to see. Right now it appears the storm should arrive very late Sunday night and continue through the first half of the day on Monday. This will probably change since the storm is still 5 days away.

I will update when I have more information.

Tuesday Snow

 Here we go again but with a much smaller amount of snow. Snow should start Tuesday afternoon and we will accuulate a few inches. Here are the snow maps that I found tonight. If things change overnight I will post again tomorrow morning.

Saturday Snow and bitter cold

I heard we were getting snow Saturday but hadn't blogged about it because I thought we were only getting a coating to an inch.....well that has changed. We are going to have light snow falling all day Saturday and if you live near the coast you could have 6 inches.

Here are the snow total maps

When the snow is done falling the bitter cold temperatures will be here. Actual temperatures will be right around zero degrees and the "feels like" temperatures may get as low at 15 below. I suggest everyone stay inside Sunday and enjoy the superbowl. GO PATS!

Cape Snow

 Tomorrow's storm has tracked so far off shore that the only place getting plowable snow is the cape. Here are the latest snow total maps for the storm that will start just after midnight. 

Cape Cod Bracing for a storm

 Another Sunday, another round of snow, but only for part of our state. As of today, this storm track appears to be keeping it off shore so only the southern areas will get plowable snow. The snow is expected to start in the very early morning hours of Sunday February 1st and continue all day. This storm is more powerful than the last one with strong winds and a wtter heavier snow so that could mean power outages.

I can't find many meteorologists ready to give snow total amounts but I did find these two maps.

I will continue to follow this storm and post another update some time tomorrow.
