It was encrusted in rhinestones and now a couple tons of snow. Unbelievable. Unfortunately, two more opportunities this week. Thursday night into friday and then into sunday late sunday night and monday morning, the possibility of more measurable snow from new england. Not good at all.

It will move through and get a second reinforcing push of this cold air by saturday. Heres the cold front on the futurecast. As it comes through the timing shows the front passing through about 8 00 in the morning. Often, what happens with the arctic fronts is the cold air lags behind a bit. Thats what well see. After the front goes through we may still get into the 40s for a couple of hours. But then the cold blast in the afternoon, maybe a few flurries but cold air will take up residence and then just as we try to warm into the low 30s on saturday, another bitter blast from the arctic arrives with a better chance of scattered snow showers and falling temperatures, gusty winds to go along with it. Thursday winds are kind of strong. Very active weather pattern. No major storms for us. A major change in temperatures. 28 in the morning. 41 at midday. 46 degrees for a high tomorrow afternoon.
