Thanks for spending part of your Sunday evening with us. For most of New England, the storm is wrapping up with light leftover snow and roads that are wet/slushy where treated. The exception remains the Cape & Islands, where ocean-effect bands keep flakes going and may add 1-2″ before shutting down late evening.
A few highlights before the deep freeze sets in:
Totals snapshot: Many 1-2″ reports around Boston/Worcester/Springfield; 5″ at Stamford, CT; Cape running higher with steady bands; Nantucket 2″ – the snowiest day there since 2018 on the coop observations.
Refreeze window: After ~9 PM, temperatures crash into the teens and everything freezes. If you plan to clear drives/walks, do it now before a solid crust forms.
Wind & chill: Gusts near 30 mph this evening. As colder air pours in, wind chills head below zero overnight.
Black ice Monday AM: Even treated surfaces can refreeze; use caution at the bus stop and on early commutes.
Monday: Mostly sunny but mid-winter cold – teens north, 20s south, wind chill single digits/teens even at day’s warmest. A few mountain snow showers persist in the northern Greens.
Tuesday: Still cold, a touch better – nudging toward freezing for some.
Thursday: Signals favor a milder, south wind setup – translating to rain for much of southern New England later Thursday/Thursday night, with the potential to keep snowflakes farther north.
Beyond: Another chance late next weekend and on Christmas Day; we’ll refine tracks/timing in Monday’s Pattern Predictions.
Track the back edge of tonight’s snow and the freeze-up with radar in the free 1DegreeOutside app (use Past+Future mode), and keep the photos coming via the Send to Us tab – they’re the best way to tell New England’s story in real time.
