I’m a third-year atmospheric science student at Cornell University who has been blogging about the weather since 2011. While I’m not officially a meteorologist, I have accumulated a bit of experience forecasting both local weather (in western Maine and New Hampshire) as well as national/international weather during my time writing for weather.us and weathermodels.com. I also have experience programming in Python, teaching concepts in weather forecasting, and communicating forecast information to general audiences.

Friday snow update

Leave a comment

We are tracking a snowy end to the workweek for much of New England and upstate New York. Snow will move in tonight and will continue falling through the day friday. Snow may mix in with sleet or even rain along the extreme coast (eg. islands and tips of peninsulas) and that could hold down total accumulations there.

ACCUMULATIONS

1-3″ along the coast inland to around Fryburg, North to around Agusta, South to Rhode Island, and Northeast to Mount Desert Island.  Areas within a 30 mile radius of that should expect a coating to around 2″.

TEMPERATURES

Temps will rise to around the freezing mark on Friday at the coast. Highs in the 20’s inland.

Stay tuned!

Surprise early morning snow

Leave a comment

I woke up this morning to a soft snow. This is due to some long-range lake effect moisture strenghened by a trof south of Boston. Accumulations sould reach about an inch in most spots. The afternoon will feature a clearing sky with cold temps. Highs will only reach 30 in most spots. Lower in the Mountains.

Stay tuned!

Storms we have but rain or snow?

Leave a comment

Well now we are coming into a more active pattern. This is due to the jet stream ( the storm “highway”) is sliding down over the area. This will mean that we have 2 chancs at putting down some snow before christmas day.

Thursday storm

This morning some of us will get some snow with a detached shortwave. (A little disturbance in the atmosphere) This will wrap up as the morning heads on. Tomorrow will see some rain. In fact a lot of rain. This will arrive in the morning around 7:00 am. It will wrap up around 7:00 pm.

Stay tuned!
