Hi Tim,
What a crazy night last evening. We picked up 4 inches of slop. We snowed
until about 11:30. Then we had a thunderstorm and the snow changed to
freezing rain and rain. This morning, we have slop on the ground then a
layer of slushy ice then a thin layer of snow as the precipitation changed
back to snow early this morning. We have about a 1/4 inch of ice on the tree
limbs this morning. Temperature has fallen back to 30 degrees and skies have
cleared. Winds are starting to pick up gusting to 20 mph. Have a good
Sunday.
Best,
John

A rapidly deepening Storm is bringing Snow, Ice, Rain andThunderstorms to New England. As the storm races away Sunday we get alittle thaw.
This is the same storm that brought the second snowstorm in a week ToDallas Texas. Yes, snow in Dallas and Rain in Boston. The track of thestorm is right across central New England. The counterclockwisecirculation is bringing warm air to southern New England, while cold airwith Ice and snow falls just north of the center from Rutland Vermontto Augusta Maine. This storm is cut off in the upper atmosphere with atremendous Jet Streak deepening the Low Pressure from 1002 millibarsnear Pittsburgh tonight, down to 978 millibars over Nova Scotia Sundayto 966 Millibars over Newfoundland Monday! Such strong dynamics causedanother round of Thunderstorms (had some GroundHog Day too), inSouthern New England. Damaging wind gust from Cape Cod to Maine throughsunrise Sunday. Ski areas are getting heavy snow, or ice changing tosnow. amounts to15" Likely.Serious freezing rain glaze is also occurringbetween the rain south and snow/sleet north. Winds will subside Sundayafternoon, allowing for us to continue the ice/snow redistributioneffort with melting through Sunset Sunday. The refreeze happens SundayNight. the next storm is Monday Night, looks like 2"-5" of snow, thenNew Cold and another storm threat the rest of the week.
Sunday AM Update: This week we have two snow or snow/rain situations.Tuesday Morning we wake up to wind and snow, 4" seems likely. Then NewCold blows in Tuesday Afternoon through the rest of the week. Though the nextStorm Thursday Night may come close enough for another rainy mix nearthe shore. The Thursday Storm may wind up as one of the stronger Stormsin a winter of Strong Storms.
Yes.. I know most Guidance has that storm missing to the south, butPositive North Atlantic Oscillation, and Strong La Nina say this stormcomes up the coast. Plus, again.. how many storms miss this year?
