Lucked out!

Glad I was wrong, glad everyone was wrong.  The storm that was supposed to cause problems ended up staying too far to the south to make a significant impact.

Today:  Partly sunny, a few leftover snow showers for parts of Maine, highs around 40 south, 30s north.

Tonight:  Clear, chilly, lows in the 20s south, teens north.

Tomorrow:  Lots of sunshine, highs in the upper 30s south, low 30s north.

Tomorrow night:  Mainly clear, lows around 20 south, upper single digits to low teens north.

Saturday:  Sunshine continues, still cool, highs near 40 south, 30s north.

Discussion: 
As the title of the blog states, we lucked out.  All the forecast models were off on this one, trying to bring the storm further than it actually did.  This kept the precipitation further to the south and spared New England from another round of accumulating snow.  Some spots in Extreme Southern New England saw a little snow yesterday, but its not going to hang around.

Over the next few days we'll be under the influence of high pressure at the surface and a upper level trough.  This will result in sunshine, but colder temperatures.  The high at the surface will supply sinking air, keeping our skies generally clear of clouds.  The upper level trough is feeding cold air in aloft which will hold our temperatures down, keeping them below normal.  This overall pattern is going to remain in place right into the middle of next week.  So it will look beautiful outside, but it will be much cooler than most people want it to be.

Right now it looks like our next round of unsettled weather will come late next week.  Appears to be rain at this point, but it's over a week away and much can change before then.

Thanks for reading!
