Two years ago on December 9th, we had a surprise snowstorm that dropped more than 1 foot of snow in about 4 hours, making the Friday afternoon commute a messy one. Snowfall totals from the storm above - click to enlarge.
Current satellite imagery showing a small storm system advancing east towards New England, which will give us a mixed bag of precipitation through tomorrow.
A series of small storms will be impacting our area through the upcoming week. Although none of the storms look to be very strong, they will make driving a headache for some of us, with three seperate wintry events possible during the workweek. Tonight's storm looks to leave us with 1-3 inches of snow and sleet, with some icing on top (no, not the cake icing!) Our below average temperatures will continue as December has proved to be rather wintry so far.
Apologies for the infrequent postings, however, a heavy course schedule coupled with impending finals, projects, and a flurry of last minute exams thrown at me by professors has left me with very little available time to devote to the blog. Unfortunately, this trend will continue until the end of the semester. However, if there are any major weather events on the horizon, I will make sure to stop by to let you know.
And now for the detailed forecast:
Tonight: Snow mixing with sleet at times. Changing to a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and possibly rain towards dawn. Low near 26. 1-3 inches of accumulation possible.
Monday: Cloudy with light freezing rain possible early. Remaining cloudy with leftover patchy drizzle for the afternoon, with a scattered snow shower possible. High 34.
Monday night: Partly cloudy. Low 22.
Tuesday: Becoming mostly cloudy, with light rain or snow possible by afternoon. Mixed bag of precipitation possible during the overnight. High 35.
Wednesday: Mostly sunny. High near 38.
Thursday: Cloudy, with another bout of snow and sleet possible. High 33.
Friday: More clouds than sun. High 37.
