A little early for French toast, but then, it is a #noreaster out there: Downed trees, water everywhere, and in one supermarket - the rain was coming from inside the house

A little early for French toast, but then, it is a nor'easter out there
Patrick Snyder woke up this morning and, naturally, his thoughts turned to French Toast. On Webster Street in East Boston, though, some people's thoughts turned to how to get rid of the tree that snap...

NWS: "It's true, a late season nor'easter is on its way to southern New England for Thurs. All this name means is this is a coastal storm with winds out of the northeast. While these most often develop between Sept and April, they are possible any time of year."

Look who's back in the Greater French Toast Region!
April 13, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Maybe some snowflakes tonight? But, the NWS says: "A minor, slushy accumulation of snow is expected in the interior, with any snow being washed away by rain early Monday in the coastal plain," i.e., the Greater French Toast Region.

3 Slices. We weren't feeling it last night - not after last weekend, a 4 Slicer that didn't really deserve it, the NWS is saying we could see snow, sleet and then rain, so tomorrow could be enough of a mess you won't want to go to the store, so you should really go out now.

Latest forecast from the NWS Boston office: "A widespread 5 to 9 inches is expected regionwide with a low probability (10-20% chance) of 10-12 inches possible across northern MA, including the city of Boston."

It's a winter-storm-watch kinda weekend. NWS says 6-8, Matt Noyes says maybe a foot! But we're not going to 4 Slices because of this but because this storm could be followed by at least two more storms in a few days. That adds up to a lot of French toast.

Anytime the NWS mentions The Benchmark, we get a twitchy Alert trigger finger. A storm Sat. night could pass right over The Benchmark, but we'll restrain ourselves just a bit longer before raising the Alert to 4 Slices.

Have upped the alert to 3 Slices / Elevated, because we're going to get a mini-wallopping (2-3 inches with ice/rain on top). Then we could see a storm Sat. followed by one or maybe two storms Tues. or Weds.

NWS says there might be a few snow squalls Tues. morning, although likely well outside the Greater French Toast Area (yes, beyond 128). But then a "weak clipper system" moves in Tuesday night, possibly leaving behind 2-3 inches, "especially near and north of the MA pike."

NWS has expanded its winter-storm warning to all of the Greater French Toast Area - 4-8 inches with even the odd 10-incher. "If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency." Spare pet for warmth wouldn't hurt, we suppose.

NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning right up to the Suffolk line for 8 inches Sun night, maybe even 10 in some spots. Suffolk and Norfolk only get a winter-storm watch, for maybe 4 to 8, but make sure the pantry is fully stocked: Snowstorms rarely follow county lines.

Oh, man, we were just getting ready to do a recap of the infamous IT'S BOMBOGENESIS BABY blizzard of aught-15, when more current weather snuck up on is. NWS says we could get up to 6 inches on Sunday, so no, not a repeat, but still.

You know what to do.

A little light reading from the National Weather Service about Saturday: "Light snow through the day with light accumulations."
January 11, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Yeah, nor'easter will pass well outside the dreaded 40/70 benchmark. But, NWS says we could still get "a quick dusting to 1 inch of snow, possibly localized 2 inches on Saturday." So throw on a couple slices with which to contemplate the (maybe) pretty dusting outside.

Big storm coming. Big, big. Gonna bury Texas. But it's looking like it'll miss us (the headline below, btw, proves Betteridge's Law of Headlines: Any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered "no").

Hmm, looking out the windows of the French Toast Alert bunker, looks like that festive pre-Christmas snowfall is coming early. Like right this second (granted, we're up in the higher elevations along a mountain pass in #Roslindale). NWS still calling for 1-3 inches.
December 20, 2024 at 2:23 PM
The NWS now says we can expect "more of a festive pre-Christmas snowfall that will drop anywhere from a coating to an inch or two from Friday into Saturday afternoon." Festive? Sounds like a good reason to make some French toast first thing Saturday morning.
December 20, 2024 at 4:39 AM
NWS says a potential nor'easter is heading our way, but it will mostly be outside the dreaded 40/70 benchmark, so it's mostly only going to churn up the fish well out to sea, but we could see 1 to 3 inches - or maybe even "a more significant impact."

Wait, what happened to all the rain on the coastal plain?

Um, that's not rain on the coastal plain. At least it's pretty.

NWS now says: "Gusty conditions and below normal temperatures continue Friday into Saturday with a low chance of an isolated snow shower or snow squall."

So still a good reason to have some French Toast tomorrow morning.
