BUST! Story Becomes Bitter Cold

No way to sugarcoat it- this will go down as a bust for everyone outside of 495 and North of the Pike.  Here was my map from Monday Night

Snowfall Map from 1/20/14

Here is what we have so far

I should have trimmed the 6-10 and brought the 3-6 into Southern Worcester County.  I also should not have included Cape Ann.  I can't call the Cape a bust yet, but I think it will be hard for it reach 10" given the current radar presentation

We'll see, but overall I am not happy with the forecast.  I have a feeling I'll have plenty of chances to try again before the winter is over.  Now the big weather headline is bitterly cold temperatures and wind chills for awhile.

Current Conditions/Short Term Forecast

Here are the temperatures as of 4 am

Even though this map shows a Winter Storm Warning still for Eastern MA/RI this will be dropped soon.  A Wind Chill Advisory has been issued in its place through 10 AM

Temperatures stay in the teens tomorrow.  This is nasty stuff.  I'll update later today as there is the potential for light snow on Saturday, but maybe enough to get crews on the roads. 

Bundle Up
