It's snowing! Again....

So far, snow totals in Southern New England have been between 1-2".  I haven't seen any reports from Central and Northern New England yet.  The National Weather Service office for that region isn't very timely with releasing that information. 

The first batch of snow and wintry mix has moved through and now the back edge of the precipitation is sliding through.  This will put down around 1 more inch of snow, particularly in Southern New England and along the western facing slopes of the region's mountains.  This last batch of snow should be clear of eastern areas around 2 PM.  The clouds will hang around until this evening before finally clearing.  There will be a surge of cold air behind this storm and temperatures will drop into the single digits by tomorrow morning.  Wind chill readings will be below zero overnight.

Looking at the rest of the week, conditions will remain "calm".  There will be a significant storm system that will slide out so sea south of New England on Friday.  This looks like it will bring some snow to the Mid-Atlantic and some of the Southern States.

Temperatures will stay chilly through Friday, highs will be in the mid 20s Wednesday and Thursday.  Upper 20s for Friday and then into the 30s for the upcoming weekend.  It may feel a bit warmer than it will be as we should have a good amount of sun right through Saturday.

So once you get the snow cleared up today, take a break and relax.  It's probably going to be about a week before we really have a decent chance at more snow.  If we do have anymore snow, I think early next week will be our best shot as a storm system slides out of Canada.  There shouldn't be much snow associated with this system as it will be moisture starved.
