snowstorm

A spring snowstorm has dropped snow and rain across the region overnight, but it will taper off as the morning progresses and temperatures rise.

Even without a ton of sunshine, temperatures Tuesday reached the mid-40s. It will be much colder Wednesday — about 10 degrees colder, with a mix of sun and clouds. This will set the stage for a wintry mix, or even a burst of snow heading into Wednesday night and Thursday morning. At this point, it appears it will be a…

Overnight Thursday Night: Ground moisture refreezes, mostly cloudy. 20s.

A shot of winter air is not only cold but dry – meaning this Canadian air will make for plenty of Friday sunshine that will be rather ineffective since temperatures will not exceed the 20s and wind chill values will be stuck around or under 10 degrees for most of us.  Of course, wind chill is driven not just by…

Parts of eastern New York and western New England have had more than 20 inches of snow; it’s those locations where the storm is done now. But in eastern New England, a few more hours are left as accumulating heavy snow bands slowly push offshore Tuesday afternoon….

The lingering snowstorm that swept through New England finally reached parts of northern and eastern Maine on Tuesday, more than 24 hours after it had first started dumping snow on southern Maine. Virtually all Mainers felt its impact to varying degrees with widespread school closures and speed restrictions on the state’s 295 mile-long stretch of Interstate 95. The range of…
