DAYS 1-5 (JANUARY 22-26)
The deep freeze continues today – probably the coldest daytime hours of the stretch, but again not too much wind will make it slightly more tolerable to be outside if you must be. A blanket of clouds comes in tonight in response to a mid level disturbance, and that will prevent the temperature from falling as low as it did last night. Clouds depart during Thursday as dry air returns and a low pressure area I’d once been watching as a threat passes well out to our south at night. High pressure to the southwest noses in with fair weather and a moderation in temperature Friday and Saturday, before a cold front swings in with a chance of a few snow showers on Sunday.
TODAY: Cape Cod clouds and maybe a snow flurry this morning, otherwise mostly sunny. Highs 15-22. Wind N 5-15 MPH.
TONIGHT: Clouds return. Lows 7-14. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY: Limited sun morning / abundant sun afternoon. Highs 25-32. Wind W up to 10 MPH.
THURSDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 11-18. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY: Sunny to partly cloudy. Highs 30-37. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 15-22. Wind SW up to 10 MPH.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny. 31-38. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly clear. Lows 17-24. Wind SW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Partly sunny. Chance of snow showers. Highs 32-39. Wind SW 10-20 MPH shifting to NW.
DAYS 6-10 (JANUARY 27-31)
Overall trend is dry with near to below normal temperatures but have to keep an eye on moisture / disturbances both south and north for any interaction (eyeing January 27 and the last couple days of the month).
DAYS 11-15 (FEBRUARY 1-5)
Near to below normal temperatures. Pattern may turn more unsettled.

20 years ago today began one of very few storms to drop 2 feet or more of snow at Boston.
As usual, I have no memory of that event. That’s 5 years before WHW. Those were the days, though. 🙂
Good morning and thamk you TK
6 this morning here.
More wasted cold.
We are now a bit more than a month out from the Solstice. There is noticably more daylight. Shortly we will be exiting the coldest part of Winter. Soon we’ll be saying Where did the Winter go? And perhaps where was all the snow? We need some action. Gfs has a good one down the road, but we know where those go.
Thanks, TK!
+3 this morning. 0 yesterday morning.
You’re right, JPD. It is getting noticeably lighter during the morning commute.
Thank you TK. At 6F right now.
Walked the shore. definitely COLD but the absence of wind makes it a lot easier!
Thanks, TK.
GFS for late day 2/1

A week from Friday looks quite cold.
What have me learned to this part of this particular winter ……
The cold air is plentiful this year.
I don’t feel like the atmosphere has come together for the big 1 this year, yet.
Feb or March for the intense storm yet to come, is my opinion.
right and I’m Santa Claus. We shall see.
FRUSTRATING WINTER SO FAR!!!!
Plenty of cold, NOT enough SNOW and too many suppressed
systems.
Sure, there is plenty of time. So Let’s get going!!!!
At least we had 2 events and at my location up to 15 inches on the season.
Thank you TK!
Thanks TK.
-3F this morning in Coventry; we “only” got down to 1F yesterday.
Bakersville, CT in Litchfield County, the typical cold spot of CT, got down to -18F this morning. Impressive.
Beyond that, coldest readings I am seeing are around -25F in northern NH and VT.
Certainly very COLD, but nothing we haven’t seen before. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Where’s the SNOW???????????????????????????????????????????????
Panama City
ha ha ha, so right!!!!

The widespread swath of 8-12 along the Gulf Coast with pockets of 12″+ around New Orleans and northern Florida is just unheard of.
Yesterday the snow records were shattered and now today the cold records are going down….

Parts of south LA are waking up to their coldest morning ever recorded.
Lafayette 4°F (all-time record)
Baton Rogue 7°F (2nd lowest on record)
Slidell 8°F (all-time record)
Lake Charles 6°F (2nd lowest)
New Iberia 2°F (all-time record)
1899 record still stands at BTR and LCH.

As the snow departs and skies clear, we see the swath of higher snowfall rapidly cool (pink/purple colors at -15 to -20°C) due to enhanced radiative cooling. x.com/tylerjstanfiel…

Don’t discredit the GFS too much. Lately, it’s been the one to sniff things out, then the EURO fills in the details
Wanna bet that system is gone on this morning’s 12Z run?????
The alligators aren’t pleased this morning.
I’m sure they are spending as much time as they can in the mud
at the bottom of the river, pond or lake in which they reside. 🙂
-4.2 this morning in North Reading, I absolutely love the cold!….agree with Tom the big one comes when the cold and warm clash later this Winter and we are on the right side of the boundary…there is a reason February is our snowiest month
Actually, January is the snowiest with February a close 2nd. 🙂
I think in some previous 30 day periods used, February was the snowiest, but with the latest period used, January is the winner. If I am wrong, I think there are a couple of people on this blog that will soundly correct me. 🙂

This speaks for itself. 🙂
You don’t see that every Winter!!!
We haven’t seen that up here the past couple of winters.
SNOWFALL STANDINGS to date:
ORH = 18.2”
BOS = 12.5”
NYC = 5.8”
Don’t expect any movement anytime soon. ❄️ 🙁
I think you might be right Philip as nothing in the immediate future unless you live on the Islands
