Looking more meh here, but still wouldn't rule out a few inches.

Boston even cheats on temps *

Yeah. I must’ve just missed them. It’s funny because I looked for them at the time too. #old

That was in reference to the sounding levels. Not the 2D upper dynamic maps.

I recall talking about the soundings, but not the multiple 2D map levels. Maybe I just missed them there.

Some of that includes the next 24hrs.

Yeah quite a bump south.

Wow. Pivotal added a ton of new high res euro levels/maps.

Falls in the early morning to limit sun angle damage.

The GFS blows the sfc boundary up to CON...puts me on the north side of the gradient. We'll see about that. I'd presume the northerly drain holds better over the interior.

Sure...I'm more worried about the models showing 3-5" here.

Another event where i’m torn between snowblower or shovel. Will probably blow it since a bigger one is coming and I need a packed layer to avoid throwing rocks.

And the rocks were the solution at CON...not the problem. They originally had dark mulch down around the ASOS. The compromise was white rocks. They’re so worried about a couple tenths warming per decade, but no one wants to grow grass and maintain it at a proper height. lol

Yup slick out here with the snow and fzdz.

We tried to tell’em

Yeah...too warm for most of the coast. Especially anyone in MA.

-RA and 38° now. And btw, I’m not arguing it’s reporting correctly. I like the 2° argument as well.

37° and CAA flurries are nbd.

28° Sad

Toss the kuchie on the left hand side

And yeah, I know, asterisks

Climo site highs today. These are unofficial...just did a little digging right now... BOS 74F...new all-time Jan record high (72F 1/26/1950)...2nd warmest winter (DJF) temp on record (76F 12/7/1998) PVD 70F...new all-time Jan record high (69F 1/29/2002 and 1/14/1995) BDL 70F...record high (60F 2018)...tied 2nd warmest January temp on record BDR 69F...new all-time Jan record high (68F 1/6/2007 and 1/29/2002) MHT 69F...record high (60F 2018) CON 67F...record high (61F 1885)...3rd warmest January temp on record) ORH 66F...record high (59F 2018)...tied 3rd warmest January temp on record PWM 52F...record high (51F 2014 and 1980)...set at 6:24am

Temps today look like the Texans’ win probability.

Illustrative description... The red enclosed obs are METARs...Logan released their hourly ones at :54 past the hour. The blue enclosed obs are 5 minute obs. The METAR (red) obs are released in tenths C so they convert to the exact whole F reading. The 5-min obs (blue) are released in whole integers C so they convert to a decimal F from the vendor sites. So those 73F METAR readings would also be 73.4F in they were a 5-min ob.

Yeah Gene it doesn't work that way. It's a little complicated top understand the hourly METAR obs and how the off-hour 5-min obs work. Logan will never report 73.4F. The 5 minute obs is sent out as 23C to the public. When the vendors convert it to F it gets posted as 73.4F. However, the real temp at Logan at that time is either 73F or 74F because the 5-min obs distributed to the public are in whole degree C instead of tenths. If they released them in tenths C like the hourly METARs, it'd be released as 22.8C or 23.4C which converts to 73F or 74F. In other words, there's a good chance BOS had a 74F in there. A 5-min of of 74F at BOS will be seen by us as 73.4F. But a 73F ob will be 73.4F as well. It's a little confusing. But when you see quite a few 23C/73.4F obs in a row there's a good chance one of them made it to the higher end.
