7:21AM

DAYS 1-5 (FEBRUARY 27-MARCH 2)
Low pressure moves across the region this morning then away this afternoon through tonight, making a day that starts out breezy and quite wet turn out drier and windy by its end, and initially on the mild side, but followed by the arrival of cold air by evening. This leads to a period of quiet but colder weather to wind up the month of February and open March, chilly lamb style. By Monday, high pressure to the north and low pressure to the south means that clouds may be back.
TODAY: Overcast with rain, possibly heavy, early to mid morning, ending abruptly from southwest to northeast by late morning. Sunshine and passing clouds midday on with only a brief passing rain shower possible. Highs 45-52 morning, falling through the 40s afternoon. Wind E 10-20 MPH early to mid morning becoming variable then shifting to W increasing to 15-25 MPH midday and afternoon with higher gusts.
TONIGHT: Clearing. Lows 21-28. Wind W 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 10-20 MPH, higher gusts.
FRIDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 11-18. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY: Sunny. Highs 32-39. Wind NW 5-15 MPH, higher gusts.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Clear. Lows 12-19. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY: Sunny. Highs 33-40. Wind NW 5-15 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Increasing clouds. Lows 25-32. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.
MONDAY: Cloudy. Highs 35-42. Wind NE up to 10 MPH.

DAYS 6-10 (MARCH 3-7)
A more unsettled period of weather starting with a brief warm-up then followed by colder air again. Will have to watch for a couple systems, the first favoring rain and the second possibly favoring more frozen precipitation. High degree of uncertainty at this point.

DAYS 11-15 (MARCH 8-12)
Potential winter weather event early in the period, followed by fair and colder weather then a warm-up later in the period with possible additional unsettled weather.

  2. Thanks TK even though I am not living in Mass right now, its good to know that this winter was a dud while I been gone lol. 😛 If I can’t enjoy the snow no one can 😛
    Anyways Vicki, I am not entirely sure when I will be returning back home. So much to do from the large group capstone project on Stony coral tissue loss disease to my thesis work and of course the large amount of class work. Proposal defense is in April. My plan is to have my field work done by July. Hopefully that makes it so that any hurricanes do come though my project is already done in terms of the field. 🙂

      1. I would still have Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 to continue my degree. the Second year is writing my thesis and finishing up the rest of my credit count. I would only be visiting. I also have emergency money in case a big hurricane did look to take aim at us I can get back to Massachusetts.

  3. Good morning and thank you TK. 6th in a row with Spring-Like temperatures and
    I am not wowed by the “cold” coming in. 🙂

    We shall see down the road..

      1. Indeed and that is why I said we shall see down the road.

        Models “appear” to have any system around that time
        CUT through the lakes. Hmmm, sounds like the main
        theme of this Winter.

        2. It is time to call it for Logan (and most of SNE east of the Berkshires) for the snow season 2019-20 once and for all.

          Logan = 15.1” (tied for 6th least snowiest; 2001-02)

          I’m somewhat surprised at TK going against his own advice at biting at early model runs like he did yesterday.

        1. Yeah, not sure what to make of it????

          I’ve literally written this dozens of times, but thanks for usual trolling

          Didn’t get into it with someone else before about
          the validity of the logan sensor? Seems he thinks it’s
          fine????? I am confused and don’t get it.

          How could he possibly say that the Ed of Blue Hills Obs
          was trolling?????? Makes no sense.

          1. That may have been intended for Steve Gencarelle who forwarded the post. Steve is a good guy and not a troll by any means. Don’t get it.

    2. Get together as a group and approach nws. Complaining on any form of social media accomplishes nothing. If it take dozens of meetings with nws, then it takes dozens of meetings.

      Although this comment by Steve O confused me. I’m hoping he means Boston. If worldwide, I’d agree with Eric.

      Seems every month breaks new records. Every year is a top 10 warm year. How can that possibly be? Bad data…that’s how.

  16. Snow in the Ardennes (Belgium). Winter has been a no-show there until now, but they’re having some snow – https://nos.nl/artikel/2324842-flink-pak-sneeuw-in-belgie-code-geel-in-limburg.html

    This is the area where the Battle of the Bulge took place in the winter of 1944-1945. That was a very cold winter in Europe. The Ardennes were impacted by significant snowfall. The battle itself sounded the death knell of the Third Reich. However, the German offensive that initiated the battle took many by surprise, and an absolutely fierce and deadly fight took place in the snow-covered landscape of Belgium.

      1. I only looked at it for a minute or 2. I have no idea as to it’s
        authenticity. Just found it most interesting. Going to check it out
        more now.

    1. Go figure. Still time for that to change a bit, BUT given the track record
      for this Winter, I wouldn’t hold my breath. 🙂

  20. Made my first corona virus supply run today picking up a crap load of
    non-perishable food items with expiration dates of 2022 and 2023. 🙂
    Pastas and sauces, cereal and even some bread and bagels to be frozen.

    1. Doing the same. I have a list of things I created with Macs brother years ago. He writes the emergency manuals for most CA hospitals and now western US. Also having propane delivered and that type of thing. The most we can do is prepare and not over worry.

      Sutton schools sent out a letter to parents explaining steps. If parents would just keep kids home we’ll after, it will be a huge help.

  21. Philip.. Definitely not “biting” at model runs. I was analyzing the overall pattern and I found an opportunity for snow in there. But the key word is “opportunity”. That still doesn’t mean it comes together. I’ll assess that as the time period gets closer, using my usual methods.
