Unofficial measurement but I'd say just enough to break the no measurable snow streak in Boston after 300 days. 3rd longest streak ❄️

A chance for some minor snow Sunday, especially toward the South Coast. Ensemble odds of 1"+ shown
I'd say a coin flip at the moment whether Boston gets anything measureable
Running out of time for snow chances before Christmas. No opportunities next week.

Point of contention here. People for years have had access to tremendous info & knowledge no one before them had easy access to
The result has been people actively getting less intelligent, believing more nonsense, and viewing intelligence/competence as conspiracy or, at the least, of less value

That's what software has always been, optimize tasks.
Now your boys will have access to every library in the world Everything they are curious about and want to learn, they can find out more from LLMs. As with every generation , they will invent new products, services and who knows what else

I agree with your statement Mark. I use Ai for a lot of menial tasks that used to suck up 5-10 hours a week. But I can't help but think of my 2 boys (15 & 13) and if this is truly the future. So a vast amount of graduates will all essentially do the same job for different companies.

Today briefly ended a streak of 12 straight days with temperatures at or below average in Boston. Coldest start to Dec since 2007
Wondering what the longest streak is? 32 days during Boston's coldest December on record! (1989) Every day of the month was below avg except NYE.

No shortage of cold air in this pipeline. After tonight, the next arctic shot arrives with same timing (Sunday night into Monday). Stays seasonably cold between the two. Impressively cold December rolls on! #wbz

It's been hard to buy some decent snowflakes in Boston. A chance for a coating or so tomorrow, but if not measureable the city will move to 3rd longest streak on record. Last measureable snowfall in Boston was Feb 16th! #wbz

Snowy interior/high elevations tomorrow, cold rain east
Snow accumulation closer to Boston would be at the *end* later tomorrow evening and relatively minor, but slick roads
Toughest call is Merrimack Valley area on the edge of significant snow or minor slop

Boston has officially taken hold of the 2nd longest streak on record without a 6" snowfall
It won't snap this week, but interior areas of New England will pass that mark. Looking at tomorrow's snow on #wbz this evening

In what's been an extremely steady month temperature-wise, today will end up the most anomalous day. 4 shy of the record for the date. Overall November will finish a bit cooler than average, though.

Unless Boston can get 0.1" with a snow shower on Friday, it will make 7 straight Novembers without measureable snow. Ties the longest stretch on record (2005-2011 also 7 straight).
