It’s been a bit of a strange winter thus far in New England.
We have certainly had more cold this season than we have experienced in recent winters.
If you look at Dec 1-Jan 10, meteorological winter to date, it has been the coldest in 7 years! We are averaging about 5 degrees colder per day than the same stretch last winter.
But, despite all that cold, we still can’t buy a decent snowstorm. It has been nearly 3 years since Boston recorded 6″ or more in one event.
Currently, Boston is 8″ below the average snowfall to date, Worcester’s deficit is more than a foot.
So, despite how cold it has been, the snowfall this winter has been very reminiscent of the last two snowless winters.
In fact, a week from today, Boston will likely be running below last years meager snow total to date!
Things have been very different across the Country this winter…
The second winter storm in the last 2 weeks is currently dropping a wintry mess with winter storm warnings posted from Texas to the Carolina’s.
A wide view of the current snow depth shows snow blanketing much of the Country, a vast change from the last few years.
Zoom in on New England though, and it is all bare ground other than the higher Mountains.
Don’t go home yet snow lovers!
There is SOME snow in the forecast this weekend.
We will get a small little taste from the winter storm now barreling through the south.
Some light snow will be in the air Saturday morning and early afternoon.
Our official forecast, a coating to an inch for southern New England. There is a chance that a few towns could see up to 2″, best chance seems to be in northeastern MA.
Sorry folks, that’s all we got. Next week also looks very quiet. Perhaps a stray flurry on Tuesday and that’s about it.
It will also be more of the same in the temperature department with, yet another shot of very cold air pouring down from Canada mid to late week.
