The “Super Moon” has risen! Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard the hype about disasters all supposed to take place today because of this moon, a little closer to the Earth than it has been in a while. The only impact from this will be tides that are slightly higher than average. The rest? Nonsense. So, the sky has cleared nicely over most of the area and we’ll have a great view of this full moon tonight. Enjoy!

The Weather…

Back to reality. Colder air has moved in behind the warmth of the last couple days. Often at this time of year we’ll be teased with a warm day or 2, only to be back to the chill fairly quickly. But this return to chill is a return to a new weather pattern, or an old weather pattern, depending on how you look at it. For several days now I’ve been advertising a return to a colder than normal weather pattern, including at least one more snow threat. This appears to be taking shape now. I will go into more detail about this pattern on tomorrow’s look at the week ahead. For now, let’s look at a quick updated forecast for the Boston area…

TONIGHT: Clear. Low ranging from near 20 inland valleys to near 30 along the shoreline. Wind north under 10 mph.
