Temp Swings...
I went out to Upton to visit with the 2nd graders at Memorial Elementary School today and noticed that the ice on all the lakes and ponds heading out to Upton had some beautiful ice on them...

Low pressure traveled to our West today but the warmfront wasn't able to penetrate deep into New England...in fact it stalled over SE Mass where the snowpack is limited or even gone!
Temps are falling...nothing drastic but enough to change rain to snow as the atmospheric structure is cooling from above to the surface.
With a fresh 6-12 inches of snow set to fall in northern New England, skiing should be great this weekend. Todd Gutner reports.
Spring surging up from the south Winter hanging around to the north...the two will be doing a nice little dance over the next several days...
All are on board with a warm and wet solution for Friday...the GFS has finally blinked. A potent shortwave will eject out of the Mid-Mississippi Valley and a fast moving surface low will pass over Southern New England on Friday
Winter at its finest...I have to say that when you get days like this one Winter is actually very enjoyable! The sun angle this late in February is making all the difference...it is so much stronger now than just a few weeks ago and it's really throwing off the models (and me too, but I'm not biting anymore!)
The final installment of Way Back Week was delayed for a few days, but it was worth the wait.
Tough keeping up with Mother Nature today. Once again Boston saw a high of 60 degrees...set just after 4PM. This makes two days in a row of 60 degree days, the first time this has happened since last October!
We just missed a record today in Boston the high was 59 set one minute before 4PM the record of 61 set back in 1981 still stands. Of course the near record warmth was interesting today but what I found most interesting was the temp drop that occurred between 4PM and 5PM...59 to 42 in one hour!!!
With the warmer weather, it hardly seems right to be talking about skiing.
In this episode of the "Way Back Machine" we look at where Kate Merrill got her start.
The Melting has commenced as highs today cleared 40 in Boston...41 just before 4PM. That 41 marks only the 8th time we have cleared 40 since January 1st...so this thaw is much needed.
Chief meteorologist Todd Gutner recently paid a visit to Spofford Pond School in Boxford.
We begin "Way Back Week" with chief meteorologist Todd Gutner.
What a day! It certainly felt, sounded and smelled like Spring...those last two aren't that obvious but I noticed a ton of bird chirping and maybe it was just the smell of melting snow but if I closed my eyes I was imagining April...or maybe I'm just weird...probably the later!
Weekend is here and good timing for a little mini-thaw that should soften up the snow enough so that we can rearrange some snowbanks.
My town had out all the heavy machinery today widening the streets and rearranging the piles of snow. It is absolutely incredible how high the snowbanks are now...to the tops of the stop signs!
If you haven't already, scroll down and read the blog scripted by Joe Joyce this afternoon...he crafts a great outlook on the rest of the Winter...must read!!!
Cold air is pouring in at the surface creating some steep low level lapse rates this evening...the result have been for some intense, prolonged snow showers and squalls mostly up in Essex County.
People have been asking me how my weekend was I have been telling them I had no weekend...last week was a seven day workweek.
Next storm arrives tomorrow afternoon and before it gets here warm air will work in at all levels meaning rain to start...mixing with wet snowflakes north and west.
I, along with many others (maybe not all of you snow lovers on this blog), have the Winter blues. I was driving around taking care of some errands today and drove past Russells Garden Center on the Wayland-Sudbury line...I decided to stop and check it out. As soon as I walked into their greenhouse I immediately perked up!
