Before we talk about the active week of weather systems in the forecast, we need to report that January 2020 was the 6th warmest ever in Albany and the 3rd warmest ever in Boston. We're starting to see that headline often in all seasons in the last five years. Things are going to get worse before they get better if we don't start taking steps to rein in humans' impact on the climate.
On a more uplifting note, we may actually see enough frozen precipitation this week to cause a delay. We have had a few dustings recently, which were nice, but we are now looking at Thursday as a possible delay day.
We will see a minor weather system Tuesday/Wednesday that should be rain, but something is starting to take shape for Wednesday night into Thursday. Surprise, surprise--the models are in disagreement. The Euro wants to make it warmer--thus a shorter period of snow--but the North American thinks it will be colder, which would give us a more snow.
The timing looks great, but the lack of agreement on the models means you'll have to return to this site a few more times before we get a better handle on the track of the low pressure system.
And more good news is that the middle third of February is supposed to be active, according to the models, and we could see a significant snow storm in that period.
