IT. THE START OF THE FIRST STORM. SO WE HAVEN’T HAD A LOT OF SNOW YET THIS WINTER. WE’LL SEE WHERE THE REST OF THE WINTER TAKES US. RIGHT? WE’RE ABOUT A HALF A FOOT BELOW AVERAGE IN BOSTON. WE’VE ONLY HAD 12.5IN OF SNOW THIS SEASON, AND WE’VE HAD 18IN WORCESTER SO FAR. THAT IS A GOOD FOOT BELOW NORMAL. SO SEASONS CAN START OUT SLOW AND THEN RAMP UP. BUT CERTAINLY THAT ONE WAS ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS, RIGHT? HERE’S OUR LOOK AT OUR SNOW THIS JANUARY. MOST OF IT FELL HERE WITH THAT STORM ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. AND SINCE THEN IT’S JUST BEEN COLD THIS ENTIRE WEEK. OUR TEMPERATURES HAVE NOT EVEN MADE IT TO FREEZING ALL WEEK LONG, BUT I THINK WE’RE GOING TO DO THAT TODAY. HOVER NEAR FREEZING TOMORROW, AND THEN LOOK, IT DOES GET A LITTLE BIT MILDER SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK, AND WE’LL COME UP CLOSE TO 40 DEGREES. THAT WILL DO A LITTLE BIT OF MELTING OF OUR SNOW PACK. YOU CAN SEE DOWN ALONG THE GULF COAST WHERE THEY STILL HAVE SNOW ON THE GROUND, GETTING CLOSER TO 50 DEGREES TODAY, SO THEY’LL GET SOME OF THAT MELTING IN AS WELL. BUT HERE LOCALLY, STARTING OUT REALLY CHILLY, YOU CAN SEE OUT TOWARD ORANGE AND JAFFREY. WE’RE ACTUALLY BELOW ZERO AGAIN THIS MORNING. 15 WORCESTER SINGLE DIGITS BEDFORD TO NORWOOD SITTING AT 22 IN BOSTON. SO TEMPERATURES KIND OF ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE WINDS ARE LIGHT, SO NO BIG WIND CHILLS OUT THE DOOR. AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY I THINK WE’RE LOOKING AT SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR TEN MILES PER HOUR. THEY MAKE US A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. SO NOT STRONG WINDS, BUT THEY’RE COMING FROM THE WEST AROUND THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE. AND THAT WESTERLY FLOW OF CHILLY AIR OVER THE LAKES, GENERATING SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOWS. AND SOME OF THOSE BANDS, ALTHOUGH THEY’LL DRY UP BEFORE THEY GET HERE, WILL THROW A FEW CLOUDS OUR WAY THIS AFTERNOON. SO WE’LL HAVE BRIGHT SUNNY SKIES HERE THROUGH NOONTIME. CLOUDS MIX IN THIS AFTERNOON, BUT WE’RE SNEAKING UP TO THE FREEZING MARK IN BOSTON AND BEVERLY. WE’LL GET THERE IN NASHUA AS WELL. SOME SPOTS CLOSER TO 35 DEGREES ON THE SOUTH SHORE, SO DOING A LITTLE BETTER THIS AFTERNOON. THERE YOU SEE SOME OF THOSE STREAMERS WORKING ON IN WITH THE CLOUDS. AND THEN OVERNIGHT, THE SKIES CLEAR AND IT’S BACK DOWN INTO THE COLD. ANOTHER COLD NIGHT. WE COULD BE BELOW ZERO AGAIN. AND A FEW OF OUR COLDEST SUBURBS. OTHERWISE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS. TONIGHT YOUR SATURDAY IS BRIGHT, SUNNY. IT IS THE BRIGHTER DAY OF THE WEEKEND. BUT LOOK, IT’S STILL KIND OF CHILLY. UPPER 20S TO AROUND THE FREEZING MARK AND THAT’S THE BEST WE’RE DOING YET AGAIN TOMORROW. THINGS CHANGE ON SUNDAY. CLOUDS COME IN. WE’VE GOT THIS WEAK LITTLE CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVING ON THROUGH. IT IS STARVED FOR MOISTURE, BUT THERE COULD BE A QUICK PASSING RAIN OR SNOW SHOWER THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON, AND THEN THE SKIES WILL TEND TO BRIGHTEN LATE IN THE DAY AND WE’LL HAVE SUNSHINE TO START THE WEEK NEAR 40 DEGREES ON TUESDAY, AHEAD OF A FRONT THAT IS GOING TO KICK UP THE BREEZE. AND THEN AS THE WIND SHIFTS, IT DROPS THE COLDER AIR ON IN HERE. SO TURNING COLDER AGAIN MIDWEEK. BUT LOOK AT THAT AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT DEVELOPS ON THE FRONT. IT COULD SCOOT BY US WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND BRING A QUICK SHOT OF SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW. SO WE’LL SEE IF THAT PANS OUT OR NOT. NOT ALL OUR MODELS ARE SHOWING IT, BUT I’M KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. BUT IT’S DEFINITELY GOING TO GET COLDER AGAIN NEXT WEEK. AFTER A BRIEF MODERATION. OH MAN, I KNOW A BRIEF MODERATION. WELL, WE’LL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET. TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET. IT FEELS DIFFERENT. CERTAINLY WHEN YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR, IF
