Hello everyone!
Today will feature a quiet day for a change in terms of weather. High pressure is over the area which will cause sunny skies to prevail. Temps will be comfy, in the 20’s, however there will be a fly in the ointment so to speak. This will be the winds behind our ‘storm’. WNW winds will gust as high as 25mph causing the freshly fallen snow to blow around a little bit.
Our ‘storm’ last night was a bit of a dud because it tracked farther east than expected. We got about 1.5″ here in Yarmouth while areas in Eastern Mass got over a foot.
For those who love snow (myself included!), keep in mind that this almost works to our advantage in that all this snow over the Mid Atlantic and Southern New England will protect us from any big warm up. As the warm air mass heads north this week, 2 things will happen. First, it may not even get to us in Northern New England as warm fronts are notoriously hard to get through a deep deep dish snow pack. Also, if/when it does get here it will have been travelling over hundreds upon hundreds of miles of snow. This will cause it to “modify” or become less warm.
Tomorrow looks to be a lot like today except without the wind. Our next chance for snow looks to be Tuesday with 1-3″ expected.
