Jan.24th
Didn't change the title of the blog since we are still in the middle of the artic air.In fact today feels much worse than yesterday due to stronger winds. Windchills are below zero or single numbers in most areas.
It was at 1 degree when I left the house this morning.And with a little wind,the windchill was -5 to -10 degrees.Thats cold.
Another cold night tonight,tomorrow slightly warmer but less wind so should be much more comfortable. A little snow tomorrow night,but not much,the best chance of accumulations along the south coast of new england,but the storm doesn't get going until well out to sea.I'm sure everyone will be happy with the warmup next week,eventually getting into the 40's.Heatwave!!!!
Jan.23rd
It was cold this morning,but I've seen a lot worse.8 degrees this morning.I suspect it will be around zero tomorrow morning,since highs today will only get to the teens,so not as far to fall tonight.
The snow on Friday night is looking much less,as models trend weaker with this system and no phasing will occur until well out to sea.Stil time for changes,but I suspect if it does change it will be for less snow.Chilly this weekend,but a warmup coming next week.
Jan. 22nd
So the snow along the coast never materialized,except down on Cape Cod and the islands,which received 2-4 inches and Rhode Island.
I have about .5 inches on the ground.So now the cold takes over with dangerous wind chills through Thursday.Then we have to watch a storm late Friday into Saturday,strength of this storm is still questionable,but at least a moderate snow event will take place.
Jan. 21st
Yesterday's 54 degrees will become a distant memory has winter has decided that he's going to move in and set up residence for a while.
The results, frigid temps,temps we haven't seen in a couple of years, and bouts of snow from time to time.
Our first chance of snow starts later today and through the night. The problem with this storm is that it is strengthening at sea,so prediction where the heavy bands of snow set up is extremely difficult.This will be a coastal event,with the greatest chance of deep snow will be right along the coast,espicially the SE and the NE coastlines.But depending on how quickly this storm strengthens will determine,if more areas get heavy snowfall,and how much.
After tomorrow then the artic air takes over until the next storm moves in on Friday,which could be another significant system.So put away your light clothes and get your shovels and snowblowers ready.
The less said about the Patriots the better,they looked awful last night,not the way I wanted to see them go out.

1.Ravens seem to have more energy(wanted it more)
2.losing Aqib Talib really changed how the Ravens played,they unleashed Flacco.Without Talib in there more guys became open.
3. The dropped pass by Welker really was a game changer,that drive could have kept the Patriots close.They never seemed to recover after that.
4. The Ravens were the harder hitting team,some of those hits were brutal.
5.Time running out for Tom to win another super bowl.
I think your right about me getting more than you on Friday,looks to get its act together to late for you.ECMWF blows it up,and GFS is pretty weak,so right now ensemble models are middle of the road. This may be another one that will get its act together too late for anyone to get a lot of snow.We'll see
At about the same time, a 12-year old girl was killed and at least 20 injured when nearly 100 vehicles piled up in a chain reaction crash on Interstate 275 in Colerain Township, northwest of Cincinnati.
In Columbus, a crash involving as many as 30 vehicles forced officials to close the southbound lanes on Interstate 270 on the city's northeast side. The number of injuries in that crash have not been released.
Interstate 75 reopened just after 3 p.m. after a multi-vehicle chain reaction accident shut down the southbound lanes for several hours Monday.
The crash involved more than 30 cars and trucks just south of SR 122 between Middletown and Monroe.
A driver involved in the accident told 2 NEWS photographer Jamar Black that winds and snow had created a near white-out condition, making visibility nearly impossible. He said cars were sliding out of control at freeway speeds trying to stop. A tractor-trailer jackknifed across the road and a number of vehicles spun off the side of the road. At least one car flipped on its top.

From the old Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
Johnny: Man, is it cold out there today.
Ed: How cold is it?
Johnny: Well, on my way in this afternoon, I couldn't help but notice an exhibitionist on the corner, and it's so cold, he was flashing a drawing of himself.

Johnny: Man, is it cold out there today.
Ed: How cold is it?
Johnny: It's so cold I saw a chicken with a capon.

My cup of coffee turned into a hot slushy!!
Nice of you to post some of the great classic Carson jokes about wintry "cold" air. Sad how low the bar has fallen in the nearly 21 yrs since he gracefully and permanently signed off the airwaves! Thank goodness, PBS periodically airs repeats of its original "Pioneers of Television" documentary series which have saluted him and other great TV entertainers of the 50's and 60's. Ah, wonderful nostalgia!
Have you recovered yet from Sunday night's AFC Championship playoff game's PATS loss to the Ravens? I think the PATS needed to add another Gronk clone (or two) tn the bunch for good measure, as his absence seemingly made a big difference. I'm now leaning towards the 49'ers to win over the Ravens on Superbowl Sunday. Nevertheless, I've been known to be wrong on so many levels. LOL!
Glad to see that bright sunshine overtook that predicted snowstorm today. Glad it strayed well off course and remained mostly in the Cape or out to sea. Hopefully, this luck will remain by week's end, as another potentially serious snowstorm seems to be in the works and arriving Friday night. UGH! These days, manufacturers just don't make enough flannel or thermal garments to suit me!
Have a safe, warm, comfortable week!
I am still planning on taking my walks at night,but going to have long johns,extra thick gloves a couple of layers of thick socks and covering my face,but Im determined not to let weather stop me from walking.When I was sick for 10 days after New Year's I didn't walk and when I started again,it was like I hadn't walked for a year,so I have to keep it up.
Stay warm my dear friend,warmup coming next week.
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHERN
CONNECTICUT...EASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...NORTHEASTERN
MASSACHUSETTS...SOUTHEASTERN MASSACHUSETTS...WESTERN
MASSACHUSETTS...SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...NORTHERN RHODE ISLAND AND
SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT FOR SOUTHERN NEW
HAMPSHIRE
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
A LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW EVENT IS POSSIBLE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
EARLY SATURDAY BUT THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS STORM IS STILL
UNCERTAIN.
Yesterday, I went into a very nice house and we walked around a bit and I realized it was colder than usual and not winterized. It was 43 degrees in there with the thermostat set for 55. Called the other agent right away and she emailed back a thank you because the furnace had quit. Pipes would have burst.
Anyhoo, have a good evening. Stay warm!
Hope you haven't had a relapse of illness or have been hijacked by an overwhelming workload, as your 4 day absence from the blogs is a bit unusual!
Not sure if icy/rainy weather woes have reached your doorstep yet, but out here in the skirts of Eastern Mass. it's still dry, cold and cloudy. Can't wait till Wednesday rolls around with the potentially warm hint of springtime in the air. I don't care if there's rain along with it, as long as I can spend at least one day thawing out naturally. LOL!
Hope you'll soon be able to join us again online as our little WU group seems to be dwindling fast. Take care.
I see we are about to get the dreaded "ice pellets." he and I are going to go out now and put covers on the car windshields--daughter gave them to us for Christmas and we haven't tried them yet. This seems like a good time, as there is nothing worse than trying to scrape ice off the car windows.
Hope all's well with you and that you have an easy week. And, of course, Monday is half over!
