Cold Weekend

The snow band that was supposed to come through the Boston area this morning missed the city and and went to the south shore. It snowed on the south shore and the Cape most of the morning, amounting to around an inch. After a snow shower at around 8AM this morning in Brighton, we had a break from the snow. The sun even came out around lunch time, making it seem like there was no more snow to come. But, the second piece came through this afternoon and put down a coating to an inch in most spots. 

Local Forecast: 

Tonight: Scattered snow showers until 10PM, then clearing and becoming breezy.  An additional coating is possible, especially on the Cape.  Lows in the mid teens.

NW wind of 10-20 MPH. 

Saturday: Sunny, but very cold. High 23. NW winds of 10-20 MPH. Wind chill values as low as 5 below in the morning, and remaining in the single digits throughout the day. 

Saturday night: Clear and frigid. Lows near 12 in downtown Boston and the middle single numbers elsewhere. 

Sunday: Sunny in the morning, then some more clouds in the afternoon. Still cold and breezy. High 26. NW wind of 10-20 MPH. Wind chill values as low as 10 below in the morning. 

The cold in the south continues: The high in New Orleans today was only 34, and a hard freeze is expected all the way to the gulf coast tonight. In Atlanta snowflakes fell last night, and the high today did not make it out of the 20's. There is a wind chill advisory in effect for Miami, FL as temps there are expected to drop as low as 35! In Brownsville, Tx, right on the mexican border, temps did not make it out of the 30's, and a Freeze Warning is in effect for most of southern TX. Also, temps hit -52 in Nebraska this morning, as the core of the cold air is currently centered over the northern plains.
