Northern Lights Chance!
This is a picture of the northern lights last night in Norway
The other day a sunspot on the sun set off a solar flare-the strongest in several years. Its tough to explain, but it creates a geomagnetic storm to hit the light and race towards earth. That creates the Auroras first around the pole, and we will have a chance Tomorrow night at around 10. The only problem may be the clouds around and the full moon- and also you will need to be away from the city lights. Also, it is almost impossible to predict at this latitude if it will actually occur or not, but there is a higher chance than most nights. Personally, I have seen the northern lights twice-once at Farm School in Central MA, and the other in Iceland a few years back.

Wet Night
The track of the storm has shifted much further NW than I thought, meaning dry conditions this afternoon in Boston, and freezing rain all the way to the Canada border. Now, showers and even a rumble of thunder will last thru this evening before tapering off. No snow is expected, as the precip will end before temps get below freezing. Another storm will threaten the area Monday night, at this point it looks like it will head out to sea.
Boston, MA forecast:
Tonight: Rain showers with isolated thunderstorms this evening, then isolated pockets of freezing drizzle late. Foggy with a low of 31. SE wind increasing to 20-30 MPH with gusts to 40 MPH late.
Sunday: Cloudy early, then sunny and windy. High 40. West wind of 20-30 MPH in the morning, decreasing to 10-20 MPH in the afternoon. Be careful of slippery spots before 8 AM.
Sunday night: Increasing clouds with lows around 20.
Monday: Mainly cloudy with snow possible by dark. Highs in the mid 30's. Some light snow is possible at night based on the current track.
Tuesday: Snow possible in the morning-depending on the track of a storm. Highs around 30.
Wednesday: Sunny and cold with highs in the mid 20's.

Alaska Weather: This winter they have had very weird weather. Including 39 days straight days of freezing rain in Fairbanks and rain as far north as the arctic sea. Then temps fell to 40 below in Fairbanks in December, only to rise to 40 above a week or 2 later. Temps near 50 above in Anchorage caused the cancellation of the dogsled race.

Warmer Solution
After the 6-9 inches of snow today, another storm will come in behind it and snow will be flying by 4 AM. Snow will eventually change to sleet and freezing rain all the way to Rte. 495. Even in the city, I am worried about ice buildup causing downed trees and power lines. The cold air will tough to remove near the surface, but temps higher up in the atmosphere will cause sleet pellets or rain to freeze on contact. I don't think plain rain will make it into the city- meaning temps would need to be above freezing-but it will be close.
