We've had two days stay stuck in the teens so far this winter in Boston. Sunday should make three and will contend for coldest day of winter 2025-26 (current forecast is 16F). #wbz

Today is the final day of solar winter, the darkest 3-month period of the year
By next week the sun angle is the same as October, which we affectionately call #SunAngleSzn
Brighter times ahead 😎

The next chance to hit the freezing mark in Boston is Monday, and it's not a lock
That would be 9 straight subfreezing. In 2015 our longest was 15 straight. In 2018 we had 13 straight. Record is 16 (1961)

If you can get around 2 feet in Boston, you've got yourself a very notable snowstorm. It's going to try to get close before all is said and done. #wbz

I wouldn't want to be driving around after the Pats game Sunday evening. Some of the heaviest rates of the storm that should be in the 1-2"+ per hour range

Anticipation building for the Pats and the snow!
Biggest question remains how far north any mixing with sleet gets late Sunday. Most likely on the South Coast, but will have to watch trends over the next 24 hours. #wbz

Geomagnetic storm has arrived! On the aurora watch now when there are breaks in the clouds
A G4 level storm can be visible even near city lights, but especially away from bright ambient light
Skies will start clearing more in an hour or two

Short version of what we'll be keeping tabs on for the upcoming weekend. Arctic cold will be here no doubt. The question will be how much (any) snow? That won't be clear for a few more days. #wbz

Entering the winter gauntlet
Coldest air of the season coming this weekend and with it another chance for snow
MLK to Valentine's Day usually apex of winter around here. Definitely looks the case this year

At the midway point of Climatological Winter
Most of the west having their warmest on record
Colder east...Boston is dead center in the middle of all winters on record (since 1872)

Lots of chatter about Sunday, but what about Saturday? Mostly minor stuff but a coating to an inch or two possible with higher end of that most likely in the higher terrain (borderline temps Saturday). #wbz

Go away, Susan Collins. We need NCAR to remain
Per Senate Press Gallery, CO
senators Bennet and Hickenlooper just spoke on the floor about NCAR. Sen Bennet tried to raise their amendment to protect NCAR through unanimous consent, but Sen. Susan Collins objected, killing the motion.

Update on how the Sunday system is looking
Most ensemble members for both GFS and Euro are misses/a graze. Odds of 3"+ very low
BUT...a few days out still. I do think there's a chance for *some* snow but unlikely anything big for now
Also some minor snowfall (and rain) Saturday

Sunday PM getting a little more attention for snow potential, though nearly all ensemble members are still a miss
Still, worth keeping an eye on as things develop as we are 4 days out

January thaw making quick work of ice on the Charles. One more very mild day to go before cooling down
