The lawn in Mattapoisett is looking great. A little frost on it this morning......but it's ready to green up.

We watch. KEY MESSAGE 3 Discussion... Cold trend continues for the forecast winter storm late Saturday into Sunday. High pressure to the NW will aid in feeding cool air at the surface from the NE through Saturday evening. Still a good signal in guidance for CAD to keep surface temps below freezing for much of southern ME and central/north NH. No change in thinking regarding primary low track out of the Great Lakes. Still some differences in guidance re: transfer to coastal low, and this will have impact on QPF and temperature profile aloft for precip type. Continue to think foothills northward remain mainly snow until after midnight, in which sleet then mixes in. A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will be possible for points in the foothills and interior, with mostly rain into southern NH and far southern NH. Should cold trend continue, would see wintry mix hold on longer and closer to the ME coast.

8 years ago today in GC.

Driving was tough until PWM. Temps in 20’s until about York. 30 in portsmouth.

Snow/IP at the moment First time I've heard IP hitting the windows this morning, probably all snow before. Looks like we'll just be having some of this for a while unless it warms quite a bit. I'll measure in a bit when I clear off my car. 23.7*

What a torch period we have coming up. Monday is forecast to be the only day with a sub-freezing high here. And even that is just 31*.

I was thinking the same thing. And it's only 9 days away. I need to head back to RI. How are the roads down in northeast mass?

Pete ftw.

My parents made it all the way to 61 and 63. Just luck of the drawn--not life style stuff. I have several older siblings who have made it passed the 63 barrier, so I have hope. In any case, I'm looking forward to being permanently retired--you never know how much time you'll have left.

Just woke up and we're in a precipitation lull. Radar history suggests we were snow the whole time.....but I don't know if that's accurate. 23.0 Edit: Precip has started back up, and it is snow.

Considering how often progged "good patterns" end up with a whole lotta suck, I'm willing to roll the dice on this boring 15-day models.

Hours to go before anything here. 20.8*

Miraculously, the GYX beam doesn't go over my head.

Looks like I'll need to wait for another time to get to 30". I'm at 27" and tonight ain't gonna do it.

Just got in from a walk......temp is 24.*, but it has a feel of March out there.

Right where we want it.

Just got up to Pit2. Looks like we only got about an inch or so last night It was pretty exciting to read the last couple pages of posts. Some fragile emotions on the board. lol

I'll be there in 3.5 hours and will find out.

31 here in PVD, 21 at Pit2.

My wife got it last night--my daughter earlier in the week. I'm hightailing it out of town.......hope I'm not too late!.

For me, it's all about having seasons. Outside of a non-existent spring, the Midcoast region gets it done. True winter, typical fall, and tempered summer. Mattapoisett wins for the summer, but the spring is still crappy and winter is more of an idea than an actual thing.

Do your penance.

I still need to determine what we got at Pit2 overnight, but there's a good chance I'll break the 30" barrier tonight.

deep deep winter

I'm heading back up today----I've been away for over a week. No doubt there's a few inches from a few events waiting to be cleared.
