Those maps are great. Nice job you guys do there.

KMGJ, two miles up the road is currently -7 and I'm +3. I always find this stuff interesting, I don't recall ever having such a large difference with KMGJ.

Half inch here. Pembroke/Marshfield 3”. 2” Duxbury. 2.5” Gloucester and Rockport.

-5F this morning.

Last weekend the ice here was just starting to thicken safely after the first two weeks of warmth. But then the snow came to insulate it. I know even the ponds in SNH had slush at the bottom of the snowpack.

Down to 8F so far this am; does anyone have some lake/pond ice depths in SNE? Got To think we close to be over 12” or more in most areas.

-3 this morning, was surprised that the high temp. yesterday reached 30.

Low of 19 imby. Looks like we make a run at freezing today

United Stein of America.

looks like it's on to next winter.

-4F there have been at least 12 mornings below zero in Greenfield.

Unfortunately, 2-5-10 was one of our worst cases of suppression as the record snows went just to our south.

3.4 this morning. My coldest in a long time

It’s currently 1° at the house, and I’m on a hill above the lake. Most certainly is below zero around the sheltered valleys. I also see TRI is reporting -6° Wow! MRX issued a cold weather advisory for just the temperatures as they said they didn’t expect it to get this cold. As others have said, it’s the power of a healthy snowpack. It will do it every time.

Forecast for today: It’s gonna be cold, it’s gonna be grey, and it’s gonna last you for the rest of your life. .

Euro AI is pretty amped. Definitely trending towards a little snow, although temps will be borderline for accumulation

This overall dry pattern has been persistent as hell for quite awhile now (started back in the fall of 2024). We’ve basically seen relentless cold with very few breaks since the end of November but the dryness has continued. The only real exception was last weekend

Lot of roads look like that now.

I'm down here at City Island at the crack of dawn shooting some pictures with my dslr, although I forgot my d*** tripod.I'll post when I get home.

5.2/0.5

The EPS is suggesting that the PNA+ regime that commenced is approaching its end. Moreover, a WPO+/EPO+/AO- (neutral)/PNA- pattern will develop near February 10th +/- a few days. The evolution of this pattern will very likely mark the end of the severely cold pattern that has gripped the eastern third of the CONUS and seen multiple waves of Arctic air masses sweep into the East. It will likely also dent the persistently warm pattern that has dominated in parts of the West, at least for a time. The West will probably see a resumption of the warmth during the closing 7-10 days of February. The outlook for the eastern third is a more uncertain. A WPO+/EPO+/AO- (neutral)/PNA- pattern is typically a milder pattern, but not exceptionally warm one. Were the AO to go positive, the probability of more significant warmth would open up. Finally, there is the complication of shortening wave lengths that will increasingly become a factor mid-month and beyond. As wave lengths shorten, teleconnections lose their predictive skill. Instead, synoptic factors that can only be forecast at shorter lead times play a more prominent role.

Very impressive Arctic outbreak possible next weekend as a lobe of the polar vortex is forecast to dive into the Northeast. Places like NYC have a chance to drop lower than this weekend since the winds look to be stronger with more of NW flow and stronger high pressure to the west. Instead of the light winds like we had this weekend which didn’t transport the coldest air into the heat island. My guess is that we will finally get a thaw beginning a few days later as the entire polar vortex shifts back closer to the Arctic and Asia.

Thanks MAG. I know most on this forum love cold and snow, so in reality, I don't belong here, but some of the most knowledgeable mets and hobbiests reside here, and I need good information and analysis. That being said, I have about as bad of a job as one could have when it's crazy cold. That's why I need some warmer breaks periodically. The ice alone at the springs gets insufferable at times. The water mixes with the snow and creates an unavoidable 2-3 inch ice sheet that we have to try to walk and work on. It starts to get tiring and overwhelming over time.

I opened the door to let the dog out and said "man it's warm." Amazing how quickly 21 degrees feels warm after days and days of Arctic air.

Yep. A waste unfortunately.
