A wicked good storm…1/13/11

Living in New England my whole life, I’ve seen my share of good storms come and go. However, the storm which plastered the Boston area yesterday, well, I would classify this one as a wicked good storm. This was the type of storm which I remembered as a kid. Being an avid weather enthusiast and self proclaimed snow lover, this was the kind of storm you remember for years to come! As much as I loved this storm, I must say, it’s a little different now then when I was a kid. Back then, all I could think about was getting my snow boots, mittens, and hat on to go sledding or to make snow forts with my brother. Fast forward a good 30 years to yesterday. After shoveling out three homes and a business, the only fun I had to look forward to was my head falling onto a soft pillow when I finally got home late last night and went to bed. But I loved it, and would do it all over again, for the love of weather, and just living in New England!

So what about the storm? Boston was not the only area hit hard by this classic nor’easter. Boston’s Logan airport measured close to 15″ of heavy wet cement like snow. Many of Boston’s neighborhoods including Roslindale and West Roxbury measured close to 17″ of heavy wet snow, complete with thunderstorms and 50 m.p.h. winds whipping off of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a display of winter beauty. Further inland and to the north, snowfall measurements were prolific, with many communities measuring close to two feet of powder! The deepest snowfall was in a town in western Massachusetts called Savoy. They recorded 38″ of snow! Many areas in Connecticut also received well over 20″ of snow. Not to forget our friends to the north, many areas of New Hampshire and Vermont were also hit hard, with one to two feet (isolated three foot amounts in southern Vermont) of snow. All in all, it was a very significant, widespread New England blizzard which will be studied by weather experts in the future.

On Monday, I will talk about how New Englander’s prepared for the storm and whether all the hype was justified. I will also let you know what our chances are for any other major storms which might hit us this winter. In the meantime, enjoy some of the scenery out there, because a wicked good storm only comes around every so often.

Blizzard warning! 1/11/11

The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for eastern Massachusetts including the city of Boston and adjacent south shore communities down towards the Cape. This warning begins at 2:00 a.m. and expires at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday evening. If latest computer models hold true, we may be in for quite a storm tomorrow. As it looks right now, the areas from Boston, Ma. down to Providence, R.I., up to Worcester, Ma., then over to Portsmouth, N.H. look to be the areas that are going to be hardest hit by this blizzard. Within this area, expect in excess of 1 foot of snow along with significant blowing and drifting snow. I would not be surprised if some areas exceed 20″ of snow. With storms like these, there are always some surprises, depending on where the heaviest bands of snow set up. A blizzard warning means we will be having winds sustained or greater than 35 m.p.h. over a period of three hours with visibilities at or below 1/4 mile in blowing or falling snow. A blizzard warning means that this is a very dangerous situation and going out on the roads tomorrow is not recommended. Expect winds of up to 50 m.p.h. with whiteout conditions tomorrow, with significant blowing and drifting of the snow. I expect the heaviest of the snow to be letting up during the middle of the afternoon, but lighter snow may linger along the coast well into Wednesday night. The good news is that people who live along the coastline will not have major coastal flooding as they did with the Christmas storm. However, the northeast wind may blow as hard as that storm which will generate some huge waves and some splash over at times of high tides. I will update this blog with a review on the storm later this week. In the meantime, it’s time to sit back and watch Mother Nature bring a storm to us which makes living in New England so special!

Nor’easter coming…1/10/11

As I talked about in my last update, this past weekends light snowfall would be just a warm up for what’s to come. No, it won’t be the Boxing Day blizzard which struck the I-95 corridor a couple of weeks ago. However, looking at the latest computer data, it does appear as if a significant nor’easter is on the way starting late Tuesday night, and especially on Wednesday. This is true for areas inside of interstate 495 and especially the Boston area. Unlike this past weekends irratic accumulations of snow, this storm looks to be more of the classic widespread storm with significant accumulations. This storm, which has been causing major problems with heavy accumulations of snow and ice over the deep south over the weekend, is moving northeast now and will tend to weaken off the South Carolina coast later today. At the same time, a strong area of upper level energy will be moving through the midwest toward the mid-atlantic region. If these two areas of energy were to remain seperate, we wouldn’t be talking about any storm of consequence here. However, it looks like this energy will conslidate with the storm off of the Carolina coast, and according to the latest information, will explosively intensify just southeast of Nantucket island on Wednesday morning. So what does this all mean? To me, it looks as if we are in for a short, but very intense snowfall. I will go over the details with timing and accumulations in the forecast.

Alot of people have been asking me how the ski conditions have been this year. Personally, I have not had the chance to go skiing yet this winter. As for the conditons, well, it depends where you go. So far, most of the big storms have been by passing northern New England this winter. That’s not to say it hasn’t snowed. It has, just not the widespread big dumping which brings the optimal conditions we wish for. In fact, some areas of southeast New Hampshire, have a sort of snow drought going on right now, with not much snow falling so far this year at all! Luckily, it has been cold enough for resorts to make plenty of snow. That, along with frequent light snowfalls have made for adequate conditions across the region. So far this winter, it  appears as if eastern Massachusetts has been receiving the lions share of snow. With this being said, I do believe that ski country and northern New England will see plenty of snow later on in the winter.

Now for your weekly outdoor recreational winter forecast. I’m giving this week a 9 out of 10 on the severity index, due to the persistant cold weather and possible nor’easter. Look for mostly sunny skies for the rest of your Monday. It will be on the cold side, with temperatures around 32 degrees it will feel colder with the wind. Tonight will feature clear and cold conditions, with lows in the teens. Watch for sunny skies on Tuesday morning to be followed by increasing clouds during the day. Expect the sky to be slate gray at sunset, very wintry looking. Winds will be lighter on Tuesday, so with temperatures around the same as Monday, it won’t feel as cold. Clouds will lower and thicken on Tuesday night, and as everyone is sleeping, snow will develop from south to north and quickly become heavy. Wednesday will be a stormy day. Expect heavy snow falling along with gusty northeast winds and possibly white out conditions. It is not out of the question to have some thunder snow as the storm undergoes rapid intensification. At this point, the worst of the storm should be over by midday, however lighter snow and gusty winds may linger well into Wednesday night. Right now, I’m expecting the Boston area to receive a quick foot of powdery snow. If the storm intensifies further, the heavy snow may linger into the afternoon, increasing accumulations. Look for improving conditions with some sunshine glistening off of the new fallen snow on Thursday. It will continue on the cold side with highs around 32. Friday and Saturday look fair, with slightly milder weather with highs in the mid 30′s. They will receive snow up north from the storm, maybe not quite as much as eastern Mass. However, it should be a great weekend to go skiing. Right now, another weaker system may be crossing New England on Sunday. Early call on this one shows that it may be snowing lightly as the Patriots ground the Jets for the final time this season!

That’s about it for now. I may have a quick update on the impending nor’easter tomoroow if conditions warrant. If I don’t update, then what I forecasted looks good to me, and no changes will be needed. Next week, I will talk about talk about our recent weather patterns and its significance for the rest of our winter. I will also let you know whether we may have any more blockbuster storms this winter. In the meantime, get ready for the nor’easter on Wednesday, and stay tuned for updates!

Some snow coming…1/6/11

Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on the potential storm situation which I talked about for Friday and Saturday of this week. After reviewing the latest computer models and reading the technical discussions, it does appears as if some snow is coming. So the question is, is it going to be some snow, or is going to be alot of snow? First, this will not be your typical storm. The actual storm will miss us, way out at sea. However, this does not mean we are out of the woods. A complex pattern will be setting up to bring snow to us nonetheless. It appears as if this pattern will be setting up over New York City, and eastern Massachusetts. The snow will develop due to cold air blowing over the warm ocean here in Boston. In New York, that same ocean flow will collide with cold, dry arctic air, to produce snow, and in some cases, alot. How much? Starting tomorrow, and lasting through Saturday morning, some areas around the Boston area could see up to 6 inches of accumulation (especially the north shore). Areas closer to New York City may get closer to 10 inches. This is a very localized event coming up, one that can produce some big surprises. If one of these intense bands sets up over your neighborhood, don’t be surprised if you measure well over 1 foot of snow! Whatever happens, look for this event to be over by Saturday night. Sunday looks to be partly sunny, windy, and on the cold side. Looking at some of the long range computer models, there are several potential nor’easters which may impact New England over the coming weeks, so this storm may be just a warm up of what’s to come! I will update this forecast if need be, otherwise, I will see you Moday morning!

Turning the corner…1/3/11

Happy New Year to everyone! To start things off, I have some good news and some bad news to share with you today. First, the good news. The good news is that we have passed the shortest day of the year, and from now until the summer solstice in June, the days will be getting longer! I know that is very good news for alot of people out there. It’s a subtle change, but you can start to see the difference in the sunlight already. Unfortunately, that is about the only bit of good news I have for you in the world of weather for this morning. There is an old saying in weather that holds true to this day. The saying goes, “as the days lengthen the cold strengthens.” This is because of the phenomina which I’ve told you about in the past called latent heating and cooling. In other words, there is a lag time in the fall and early winter for the oceans to cool down relative to the land, thus delaying the onslaught of severe winter weather. The same holds true in the spring and early summer, as it takes longer for the ocean to warm up, thus delaying our spring many years. In other words, before we get to spring this year, we have a long way to go! This should come as no big surprise for any of us who live in New England.

Now that we have turned the corner and are into another year, I thought that this would be a good time to review what the weather was like in 2010, and also to give you a preview as to what January may have in store for us. One word comes to mind when I think of the weather in 2010… extreme! In fact, 2010 may go down as the warmest year on record here in Boston! From flooding rains in February and especially March, to an unusually warm spring, then a blistering hot summer, 2010 had something for everyone. The year ended with day after Christmas blizzard with 18.2 inches of snow falling in Boston. In fact, this was Boston’s 4th straight snowier than normal December, also ranking as the eighth snowiest on record. In addition, after a much warmer than normal year, December was decidely colder than normal, making it a very festive time for the holidays, but not so much for your wallet or pocketbook!

So what about January? Well after a very pleasant early January thaw, which saw alot of our snow from the blizzard melt away, it now appears as if we may be in for quite a wintry month. Typically, January is our coldest and snowiest month of the year. We “average” about 12″ of snow, some years not so much, while other years we can triple that number. The month starts out with highs averaging in the mid 30′s and lows in the lower 20′s. Temperatures drop to their lowest points in mid January, before slowly starting to warm up very slowly towards the very end of the month. For this January, I’m expecting near or slightly below average temperatures, with above average snowfall. I’m expecting one to perhaps even two heavy snowfalls (six inches or greater) to affect the Boston area. One of these storms could even be a major storm of 12″+. So you may aske me, Pete, what happened to the less than normal snow you predicted for this winter? Well, it now appears as if the temperature profile for the month of November has become the player which I thought it may become after all. In addition, the jet stream seems to be surpressed further to the south, perhaps due to all the volcanic activity we’ve been having over the summer? These were some of the wildcards which I talked about in my winter forecast to keep an eye out for. All of this, combined with unusually strong high latitude blocking and an ongoing strong La Nina, has made this winter possibly one to remember for a long time. Stay tuned!

Now for your winter weekly outdoor activity forecast. I’m giving this week an 8 out of 10 on the severity scale, due to colder weather and possibly a late week winter storm. After a milder stretch last week, expect the mountains to crank the snow guns and receive some natural snow this week, so expect improving conditions heading into next weekend! As for your Monday, expect sunny skies, but much colder than recent days, with highs only in the lower 30′s. Look for increasing clouds overnight, but no precipitation, lows will be in the 20′s. Tuesday will feature variable clouds and some sun, it will be on the blustery side, with highs in the mid 30′s. There also may be some snow flurries or even a touch of light snow during the afternoon. No accumulations are expected. Expect a mixture of sun and clouds on Wednesday with temperatures in the mid 30′s once again. The period Thursday through Saturday looks complicated at this point. A storm will develop south of New England and possibly intensify into a major nor’easter, starting Thursday evening and continuing into Saturday morning. Timing and intensty will have to be ironed out in future updates, but the potential is there. It should clear out and turn windy and cold on Sunday. As always, check back for updates on this storm as condtions warrant!

Well that’s about it for now. In my next blog, I will discuss in more detail what the outdoor winter recreational conditions are like out there (skiing, snowmobile & ice fishing) and what we may expect in the coming weeks. In the meantime, , if you’re thinking spring, count the extra minute of daylight we gain every day, it will pay off in a couple of months! Otherwise, come over to my side, and enjoy a good winter storm or two?

Blizzard 2010…12/27/10

After days of speculation, everything finally came together in the world of weather to deliver a very significant winter storm along the east coast from New Jersey to Maine. The storm, which began here in Boston around noon on Sunday, proved to be be every bit as mighty as advertised. Generally 1 to 2 feet of windblown snow fell here in eastern Massachusetts, with Boston’s Logan Airport officially coming in at around 17″. As with many storms such as this, some places received even more snow, some had less. In addition to the snow, howling winds from the northeast were clocked as high as 80 m.p.h. down the Cape. Not to be forgotten, there was also moderate to major coastal flooding in the usual vunerable areas such as Scituate, Hull and Rockport. People who live or have a home in these coastal areas fully understand the power of these nor’easters, and the destruction which comes along with them.

I received many inquiries from friends and family before and after the storm asking me if this was a blizzard? To be honest, we’ve had worse storms before. Nonetheless, I do believe when we add up all of the hardship, clean up costs, and damages from coastal flooding, we will realize that this was a very powerful nor’easter. This storm originated in the deep south, giving areas from Alabama, to Georgia, to the Carolina’s a rare white Christmas on Christmas day! By the time it hit the atlantic ocean it began to rapidly intensify as it started to head due north towards New England. With this kind of a track and low barometric pressures, it put most of New England (except for the Cape) on the cold side of the storm. Like many professions, things need to reach certain criteria to qualify as “official”. For a winter storm to qualify as a blizzard, three things need to be accomplished. First, visibility needs to be 1/4 mile or less in falling or blowing snow for at least three hours. Second, winds have to be sustained at 35 m.ph. And third, temperatures have to be 28 degrees or lower. So, did this one make the qualifications? I believe it did in many locations, especially closer to the coast. It wasn’t a severe blizzard, but I would say it did. Sometimes we bend the rules a little if a storm has impressive 2 out of the three qualifications. Some storms, the snowfall is so impressive, but it didn’t quite technically reach the temperature criteria, we still call it a blizzard. With this storm, the winds and temperatures were good, but I believe the visibilty was lacking for the complete three hours in all areas. Just technical stuff though. Suffice to say, it was a good storm!

Now onto your weekly winter outdoor forecast. Skiers and snow mobilers are happy with the storm! Expect skiing conditions, which were good, to be excellent this week. This storm came just in time for the school vacationers! Look for this week to be a 6 out of 10 on the scale. Weighted heavily on the stormy conditions on your Monday. For the rest of today, look for the nor’easter to slowly begin to loosen its grip on us. It will still be windy, but expect the snow to diminish during the afternoon. Look for clear and cold weather tonight, with lows in the single digits and teens. For the period Tuesday through Friday, expect sunny, dry weather, with a slow moderating trend! Temperatures will start in the lower 30′s on Tuesday, and end up in the upper 30′s by Friday. This will not be a bitter cold new years eve! Look for temperatures to be around 32 degress on Friday night. Temperatures will moderate even further this weekend with highs both days in the middle 40′s. Not bad to start off 2011! There may be a rain shower by late Sunday? No big storms are in sight for at least the next 7 to 10 days.

Well that’s about it for now. In my next blog, I will look back and see how our interesting December turned out weatherwise. I will also have a preview on what January may have in store for us. In the meantime, no need to worry about any more blizzards for the rest of 2010! As for 2011, well that may be a different story for a different time! Happy New Year to everyone, and thank you for your continued support!

Blizzard possible… 12/24/10

Merry Christmas to all! Since this may be my only chance to update the blog, I wanted to give everyone an update on the latest information I have concerning the possible holiday weekend storm. As I wrote in my last post on Monday there was a possibility of a storm this weekend. As was the case last week, the computer models have been nothing short of leaving meteoroligists and weather enthusiasts gasping for breath. Thus far, it has been a very frustrating pattern for everyone following the weather. As for the storm this weekend, earlier computer model trends have shown a paralyzing storm, only to back off yesterday. New computer runs have now trended west again with the storm. The implications with this could put eastern New England (including the Boston area) in line for a possible blizzard with heavy snow and high winds starting Sunday afternoon and continuing through Monday morning. If the trends continue, eastern Mass. could be lashed with 12 to 20″ of wind driven snow, shutting the area down come Monday morning. I will continue to follow the latest computer model runs and keep updating if possible. My gut feeling is that this thing is coming, we’re due for a good storm! The pattern looks good to me for a storm to hit. In addition the models have been showing it for several days now, so something is brewing. Merry Christmas!!

First snow! 12/20/10 (evening update)

Just thought I would do a quick update this evening on our first snow of the season. It’s not much, but it certainly seemed to catch everyone by surprise…even me! As soon as I hit send for this morning’s post, I looked out the window and saw that it had started to snow! If you plan on venturing outdoors tonight, be aware that it is very slippery. It appears as if the city is in denial that it is snowing. There was not a single salt truck to be seen out there! This winter, this may be the rule rather than the norm, due to tight state budgets. We’ll have to see how this goes. Anyway, look for the snow to continue periodically right through Wednesday. In boston, I’m still not expecting major accumulations, generally 1 to 3 inches. However, if you live on the south shore, look for amounts to increase to 3 to 6 inches. And if you live on the Cape, you are under a winter storm warning overnight for accumulations in excess of 6″ of heavy wet snow! Will this snow stick around until Christmas? Tough call right now. In Boston, if we were to receive 3 inches, it might . Down the Cape, the ocean air may eat away at the snow by the time Christmas arrives, so even there it’s a tough call. I’ll update you with this, and also the Christmas night storm later this week!

White or Green??…12/20/10

With less than five day’s left to go until Christmas the pressure is on people in the weather business to put up or shut up…Is it going to be a white Christmas or not! Later on in my forecast, I will give you my opinion on where I believe you will see a white Christmas this year. Before I get into all of that, however, I would like to talk a little about last week’s computer model fiasco.

Have you ever heard of the phrase, sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you? Such was the case with most of the local (and national) weathermen and meteorologists last Thursday. Have we not learned our lesson from past experiences! How many times does Mother Nature need to tan our behinds to let us know who’s in charge here? Unless you live under a rock, let me remind you what  transpired Last Thursday morning when the latest computer model runs came out. So I was sitting there in my office going through my usual morning routine. One of my morning rituals is to check the latest computer model runs for the upcoming weather. When I looked at the screen, my eyes nearly popped out of face! I said, that can’t be possible! The latest European computer run, which had been forecasting this weekends storm to pass far out to sea, had suddenly switched, and now had a historic storm lashing eastern New England with a crippling snowstorm! I gasped as the model painted heavy amounts of precipitation spinning back from the ocean into eastern Mass. through Wednesday! In addition, as the day moved forward, the U.S. model, the GFS (Global Forecast System), came into agreement with the Euro model and also was predicting a massive storm. At this point,  “all hell broke loose in the world of weather.” The only thing that was missing was Mayor Menino sending the salt and plow trucks out before a single flake had fallen. By the way, in case you’ve been counting, that’s about how much snow has fallen here in Boston this year, about a single flake! In addition, to make matters worse, the media went into hyper storm mode! To make a long story short, the very next morning, the computer models pulled a fast one on everybody, as I was shocked again. The models now were saying that the storm was going to develop 300 miles further to the east, sparing us the massive snowstorm. Since the storm was still 72 hours away, I decided to wait for further computer model runs before I hit the panic button on the storm.As it turned out, I made the right call on the storm, not getting bit by the bear this time! As far as the industry has come with computer technology, I must say, we still must respect Mother Nature, and the ways she continues to humble us.

Now onto your weekly outdoor winter recreational forecast. I’m giving this week a 7 out of 10, (remember, the higher the number, the tougher the winter weather will be). Expect the rest of your Monday to be on the grey and cold side. If you look out to the east, you will see our snowstorm going out to sea! Along the coast, we may have some very light snow, or flurries. If you live down the Cape, you will actually have a snowy day today, with 2 to 4″ of accumulation. Tonight will continue to be mostly cloudy skies with a cold wind. In addtion, there may be some more flurries or very light snow in the air. temperatures will fall into the mid 20’s. As our storm continues to spin to our east on Tuesday, look for it to possibly spin back some warm advection light snows, especially along the coast. This may be enough to whiten the landscape with up to an inch of snow? This light snow and flurries may continue into Wednesday morning before tapering off. Look for temperatures to be in the lower to mid 30’s both days. Thursday looks to be fair and chilly, with highs around 32. For Christmas eve, I’m expecting sunny quiet weather, with highs again around 32. Believe it or not, the long range computer models do show a storm around Christmas. This storm, will most likely hit the mid-atlantic region, giving them a true white Christmas! The question is, will this storm make the turn and head up the coast giving New England a good old fashioned nor’easter? Right now, I say, when in a doubt, forecast a snow drought! – With that being said, if you live anywhere from Hartford Ct. to Worcester, Ma. to Manchester N.H. up to Portland, Maine to the east, I don’t expect this to be a white Christmas. I may be wrong, so check in later on this week, as I may update this blog if need be!

Well that’s about it for now. Next week, I will peer into the future for the rest of 2010! I will also have a more detailed ski and snow mobile forecast for you. In the meantime, whether your Christmas is white or green, enjoy it for the day that it is, and the weather will take care of the rest!

Potential storm… 12/13/10

In last week’s blog, I talked about  the potential for a major winter storm hitting New England for this past weekend. As it turned out, many areas did get hit by a blizzard, just not here. Parts of Minnesotta, Wisconsin and Michigan received well over a foot (some places two) feet of windblown snow over the weekend. If you caught any of the Patriots crushing the Bears yesterday in Chicago, you know what I’m talking about. One thing that has become evident over the years, is that the Patriots know how to win when playing during snowstorms! Come to think of it, they know how to win period!

So we all saw the pictures of all of the snow in Minneapolis and Chicago over the weekend. So what about New England? Where’s the snow this year? So far, there’s been lot’s of potential for snow and close calls, but nothing. So, is our luck going to continue? Can we really go through the whole month of December without snow? The short answer to this is yes, we can go through the whole month without snow, we have before! Back in 1999 it took until mid-January before we saw our first snowfall! Will it happen this year? Probably not, the way I see things. So far, Mother Nature has blitzed the west with snow in November, and buried the midwest this past weekend. So is the northeast next in line? I say yes! There is big potential with the pattern we are in right now. The upper steering currents  only needs to make a slight adjustment, and then look out, a blockbuster storm is possible along the east coast! The next chance of this happening is next weekend. I will go over this possibilty in my forecast, and as always, I will update this blog during the week if conditions warrant.

Before I get to my forecast, a bit of weather history. Back in 1992 on December 11th and 12th, southern New England was blasted by a two day nor’easter. This storm was one of the most intense storms in modern day history. Along with near hurricane force winds, many areas along the coast had major coastal flooding and beach erosion. Boston had nearly 6″ of precipitation, not all of it falling as rain. During the storm, Boston staddled the rain snow line, flipping from rain to snow several times. Eventually the snow won out, delivering a heavy, wet 9″ of snow at Logan Airport. Further inland, away from the ocean, snow accumulations increased dramatically. Many areas received one to three feet of heavy wet snow! On top of Mt Wachusett in Princeton, Mass. a whopping 48″ of snow fell! In storms like this, elevation played a key role in how much snow you got. By the way, after a mild January, that winter really got cranking during February and March, with record amounts of snow!

Now for your winter outdoor recreational forecast. For this week, I’m rating it another 6 out of 10 on the winter severity index. Some winter weather on the way, but not that bad by our standards. For the rest of your Monday look for cloudy skies, with some occasional light rain showers. Temperatures will be on the mild side, starting out in the lower 50′s but dropping towards evening. Look for colder conditions tonight with temperatures falling back into the 20′s. Watch for some slippery spots as any left over moisture may freeze up. From Tuesday thru Thursday expect colder blustery weather to return, with high temperatures a mainly in the upper 20′s and lower 30′s. look for alot of clouds and some snow flurries and snow showers from time to time, but no serious accumulations are expected. Friday looks fair and dry, with temperatures in the mid 30′s. With a lighter wind look for it to fell more tolerable out. After taking a hit over the weekend, ski resorts will begin to start cranking the snow guns once again starting tonight. In addition, there will be some natural snow falling in the mountains this week, so conditions will begin to rapidly improve by next weekend! Speaking of next weekend, the forecast becomes a bit tricky. The long range computer models are hinting of some kind of a significant storm along the coast, but this can change several times during the course of the week, so I will have to keep you posted if need be.

Well that’s about it for now. In my next blog, I will let everyone know what their chances of a white Christmas will be. I will also have your hopefully improving outdoor winter recreational forecast for the holiday weekend. In the meantime, don’t let the word potential scare you, I’ve never had to grab the snow shovel for potential!

Pete
