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

Sure I'm down to like 8-10" from 24" already

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 😎

Sunsets in Boston are after 5pm starting *tomorrow*. In just over 1 month we'll have daylight at 7pm again. #wbz

Congrats everyone you did it. Above freezing for the first time in 9 days. Longest stretch since 2018 (13 days). #wbz

Ice dams form when there's a bunch of snow on the roof and the meltwater from daytime freezes up at night. We had a ton of them during the snowy 2015 stretch, too

Just the dumbest time to be alive. Not even close

I'll take it!

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)

huh? It's already in the 10s and it's not wet

Yeah a much more powerful storm. Hoping it's not a direct hit and more of a grazing because this one mean's business

The weekend one has the potential to be much worse

yep annoying to have it so far after the fact

Tonight's snow just nudged Boston above 20", now putting it into the Top 10 of largest snowfalls on record. #wbz

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'm not sure what seasonal snowfall totals have to do with single storms, but in any case yes 12"+ storms do happen pretty frequently. Nearly 1 a year, on average

Odds of 1"-2"+ per hour rates Sunday evening are #LockItIn territory

This is also when thundersnow will be most likely ❄️ ⚡️

(6p shown)

Looks like it really starts to fill in/pick up after 2pm at the moment

Probably around an inch per hour

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

Yeah we have most in the 12-20" at the moment with 6-12" closer to the South Coast/Cape

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

Was at a conference...back now!

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

Yes indeed...once the sun gets higher I stop caring about the cold/snow. You start to get the feeling that it's just a matter of time. That usually kicks in after the 1st week of Feb for me

If you can make it through the next two weeks of winter, you'll be past the worst of it

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

Very pretty 3.5” 🥰 #Malden @1degreeoutside.com @petebouchard.bsky.social @efisherwx.bsky.social @tevinwooten.bsky.social @growinwsdom.bsky.social @nestormcenter.bsky.social @weatherken.bsky.social @terrywbz.bsky.social @jreineron7.bsky.social
