Records May Fall

So much for the La Nina winter. Revised winter forecasts were released this week and the theme of the story for the country will be very dry in the west, very cold in the east. In particular, the next 3 weeks in the Northeast will be quite cold, possibly highlighted by record breaking cold Sunday night into Monday morning.

January 22, 2005. That was the last time that the city of Boston fell below 0 degrees. That streak will be over after Sunday. But whats really wild is that portions of the state and the area may fall to as low as -15 or -20 degrees! Areas in Northern New England could drop even further. I can't wait to see what Mount Washington's low temperature is!

A few notes...

- 49.6 inches. That is where we stand for snowfall total in Boston and that is larger than our expected winter total! More will fall as well.

- Next weeks storm looks like a messy situation right now. The rain/snow line situation will unlikely be solved until very close to storm time. But, what is confirmed is that we are in the line of fire for storms right now. After next weeks storm, there are indications of at least two more that are right behind it.

Stay warm!
