The NWS says all the forecasting models now say we mostly can expect lots of rain on the coastal plain. So down to 2 Slices/Guarded, partly because the rain snow line is still pretty close to 128, partly because we might see a bit of snow on Thurs.

NWS now has two scenarios for Tues.: Mainly rain on the coastal or a chance of up to 6 inches in the Greater French Toast Area. Frankly, we're no longer used to large amounts of snow, so we're getting vexed - and raising the alert to 3 Slices.

NWS got us out of our tryptophan haze with news of a poss. storm Tues/Wed. At first looks like any snow would be mostly outside 128, but NWS says we could see a "gloppy/sloppy wet snow-to-rain scenario" on the coastal plain. So we'll start with 1 Slice/Low for now ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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."

Have lowered the Alert to 1 Slice/Low, with the National Weather Service says confidence is high it'll just be rain on the coastal plan on Thanksgiving.

Who's dreaming of a white Thanksgiving? Forecast not set in stone, but the NWS is talking about possible snow Thanksgiving, and they're mentioning the dreaded 40/70 benchmark, so might want to throw some extra bread, milk and eggs in with your turkey shopping, just to be safe.
