Last night, an area of steady snow layed a covering of .3" of new snow on the ground, which was enough to make things white at least.
The clipper system responsible for the snow has begun to lift northward. An occluded front has crossed the area and is aligned from NNE southeast to near Boston. Colder air has begun to infiltrate the northeast behind the front, and scattered snow showers could affect portions of western New England through the early afternoon. The Berkshires will continue to shelter Cheshire County from any heavy snow bands however some light addition snowfall is still possible. Any additional accumulations will be under a half inch.
As the clipper continues to move away from the region, much colder air will flood the northeast. Taking a look at current surface air temperatures, much of the upper midwest is stuck in the single digits.
This air will reach us tonight, with low temperatures tumbling to around 5 above zero in Keene - the coldest so far this season. High temperatures tomorrow will only reach the low to mid 20's.
Up ahead:
Snow / ice threat Tuesday - Tuesday Night & Wednesday Night
Significant winter storm potential continues for Thursday - Friday
Both of these I hope to post on later tonight.
