Happy New Year’s Eve! Today isn’t nearly as windy as yesterday – expect a mostly quiet daylight stretch with some sun, increasing clouds, and a few flurries (south coast/Cape). After sunset, a fast-moving disturbance spreads fluffy snow west to east:
7–9 PM: Snow arrives western New England; temps in the 20s → immediate stick.
Around Midnight: Pockets of light to steady snow for many of us.
1–5 AM: Briefly moderate snow SE MA & Cape, then tapering.
7–9 AM New Year’s Day: Snow ends on the Cape and eastern Maine; sunshine returns.
Amounts: A general coating–2″. Expect 1–2″ on the South Shore; 2–4″ on Cape Cod, the Vineyard & Nantucket; 2–4″ for some of central CT; 1–2″ Berkshires/Worcester Hills/SW NH; coating–2″ across much of northern New England, with a few locally higher totals in northern NH and north-central VT. It’s a fluffy snow (a bit stickier on Cape Cod) expect areas of slippery travel late evening/overnight on untreated surfaces especially.
Out-and-about: We’ve had colder New Year’s Eves, but you’ll still want to bundle up – wind chill in the upper teens near midnight, with a few gusts just over 20 mph. Overnight lows fall to single digits north, teens – low 20s elsewhere (near 30° on the Cape).
