A White Christmas!

As my family was driving home from a party it was snowing at around 11 PM, and by the time I had gone to bed there was a coating on the ground. The snow was produced by the cold winds going over the relatively warm water, producing ocean effect snow showers along the coast. However, by the time I woke up this morning temps were above freezing and the snow from last night had melted.

The band of rain we expect seems to be a little delayed coming in, so the rain will arrive in Boston in the early evening. Little if any wintry precip will fall in the area, because temps are now above freezing in most of the region.

Alerts: Winter Weather Advisory in effect until noon today for Worcester points north and west.


Local forecast:

Today: Cloudy with drizzle and light showers. Temps nearly steady in the mid and upper 30's. NE wind of 15-25 MPH.

Tonight: Rain arriving by 7 PM in Boston and then continuing heavy at times. Near steady temps in the upper 30's. SE winds of 15-25 MPH.

Sunday: Rain until 11AM, then turning partly sunny with showers in the afternoon. Warm, high 46.

Sunday night: Clearing early, then mostly cloudy late. Lows in the 20's to near 30.

Monday: Light snow arriving from west to east accumulating an inch or 2 from Boston points north and west. Temps in the 30's.

Extended: Behind the system on Monday arctic air will once again come into the region as highs will struggle to reach the mid 20's most of the week.
