We've had two days stay stuck in the teens so far this winter in Boston. Sunday should make three and will contend for coldest day of winter 2025-26 (current forecast is 16F). #wbz

Today is the final day of solar winter, the darkest 3-month period of the year By next week the sun angle is the same as October, which we affectionately call #SunAngleSzn Brighter times ahead 😎
Sunsets in Boston are after 5pm starting *tomorrow*. In just over 1 month we'll have daylight at 7pm again. #wbz
Congrats everyone you did it. Above freezing for the first time in 9 days. Longest stretch since 2018 (13 days). #wbz
The next chance to hit the freezing mark in Boston is Monday, and it's not a lock That would be 9 straight subfreezing. In 2015 our longest was 15 straight. In 2018 we had 13 straight. Record is 16 (1961)
Tonight's snow just nudged Boston above 20", now putting it into the Top 10 of largest snowfalls on record. #wbz
If you can get around 2 feet in Boston, you've got yourself a very notable snowstorm. It's going to try to get close before all is said and done. #wbz
Odds of 1"-2"+ per hour rates Sunday evening are #LockItIn territory This is also when thundersnow will be most likely ❄️ ⚡️ (6p shown)
I wouldn't want to be driving around after the Pats game Sunday evening. Some of the heaviest rates of the storm that should be in the 1-2"+ per hour range
Anticipation building for the Pats and the snow! Biggest question remains how far north any mixing with sleet gets late Sunday. Most likely on the South Coast, but will have to watch trends over the next 24 hours. #wbz
Geomagnetic storm has arrived! On the aurora watch now when there are breaks in the clouds A G4 level storm can be visible even near city lights, but especially away from bright ambient light Skies will start clearing more in an hour or two
Short version of what we'll be keeping tabs on for the upcoming weekend. Arctic cold will be here no doubt. The question will be how much (any) snow? That won't be clear for a few more days. #wbz
Entering the winter gauntlet Coldest air of the season coming this weekend and with it another chance for snow MLK to Valentine's Day usually apex of winter around here. Definitely looks the case this year
A look at the season so far in Boston. Despite the cold December, still below last year's pace for snow. Expecting <2" on Sunday at the moment...full forecast is on #wbz
At the midway point of Climatological Winter Most of the west having their warmest on record Colder east...Boston is dead center in the middle of all winters on record (since 1872)
If you're looking for a casual weather chat about the weekend snow chances, I'm hopping on wbz.com right now streaming with @terrywbz Will be posted up on @youtube afterwards as well

Upped the snow for interior spots a little for Saturday. Full forecast for the return of winter at 11 #wbz
Lots of chatter about Sunday, but what about Saturday? Mostly minor stuff but a coating to an inch or two possible with higher end of that most likely in the higher terrain (borderline temps Saturday). #wbz
Go away, Susan Collins. We need NCAR to remain
Alan Gerard@wxmanms1.bsky.social · 7mo agoPer Senate Press Gallery, CO senators Bennet and Hickenlooper just spoke on the floor about NCAR. Sen Bennet tried to raise their amendment to protect NCAR through unanimous consent, but Sen. Susan Collins objected, killing the motion.
Update on how the Sunday system is looking Most ensemble members for both GFS and Euro are misses/a graze. Odds of 3"+ very low BUT...a few days out still. I do think there's a chance for *some* snow but unlikely anything big for now Also some minor snowfall (and rain) Saturday
Sunday PM getting a little more attention for snow potential, though nearly all ensemble members are still a miss Still, worth keeping an eye on as things develop as we are 4 days out
Weather doesn't currently look like it'll be much of a factor on the field Sunday for Patriots v Texans. #wbz
January thaw making quick work of ice on the Charles. One more very mild day to go before cooling down
Staying relatively mild for mid-winter over the next 6 days. Cold air looks like it will try to make a return next week. Full forecast details are always on #wbz
More net ice loss ahead through the middle of next week. Be extra careful on some local ponds and lakes as things will be thinning out. #wbz
Patriots forecast has remained steady all week. Low 30s and a gusty breeze. Wintry, but certainly not harsh for the time of year. Outside shot of a passing snow shower. #wbz
⚠️Looks like another icy night tonight as the lower levels of the atmosphere saturate. Areas of freezing fog likely and pavement that may look OK at first glance but will be very slick into the morning hours. #wbz
2025 was the third-highest year... and none were due to hurricanes (no hurricanes hit the U.S. last year for the first time since 2015). **Five** events were caused by hail. Yikes.
