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).

There was an excellent standing lenticular cloud over the Presidentials today! Otherworldly standing over Mount Washington.

Will it or won't it? So close to a true major SSW end of this week
Feels more like a "stretch" event but either way, what does it mean?
We're chatting polar vortex on WBZ this evening

Feeling like every day is the same? The temperature range so far this month in Boston is only 30 degrees. If it holds, that would be the smallest range on record for any month of the year except July and August.
A slight chance of topping 62F next week or getting a bit below 32F...we will see

Coldest night so far with excellent radiational cooling. Should be the first 32F of the season for Boston as well
Coldest it’s been yet this season. 27°F.

Taking a look around at which New England ski areas are open or planning to be open this weekend
Bretton Woods and Black Mountain opened last weekend but currently don't have an update on if they will be back open this weekend (my guess is probably yes). #wbz ⛷️🏂

Sometimes November just feels like a holding pattern month. Not quite fall, not quite winter. Just waiting for the next thing. Not a whole lot of action next 7 days...seasonable. #wbz

Mount Mansfield acting as an excellent fence to catch all the moist upslope flow lately
Highest snow depth since at least 1954 for this date!
