A 2015-esque freeze event prob is only once a decade or less. But Boston harbor and chunks of Cape Cod Bay and ACK sound do freeze at least a couple times a decade. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of Cape Cod Bay was frozen too and it was frozen out to MVY. Someone posted a sat image of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it basically turned into Labrador for about a month with the sea ice extending out from the shore many miles all along the MA shoreline.

I’ve seen Buzzards Bay frozen from the East shore beaches to at least a quarter mile out a few times in my life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 I believe January 1976 they were racing ice boats on the Charles River basin near the hatch shell. I wasn’t allowed to go out on it but I have a picture somewhere of my father and sister standing out on the river. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, my folks neighbor and one of the Woods Hole oceanographic institute scientists, walked way out from New Silver beach / Wild Harbor to the end of Nyes Neck on the frozen bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It freezes most winters though I’m sure that year it was very thick and you could easily have walked on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember sometime in the early 2000s watching the students commute to class across the river between Allston and Cambridge. I mean dozens of students walking across at a time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Sounds like WPC is leaning to a slower evolution late week. Two general forecast scenarios seem to exist in guidance with recent GFS/Canadian runs showing run to run stream separation leading to an upper low closing off in the Southwest/northern Mexico Tuesday-Wednesday that is stronger then slower to eject downstream through the east-central U.S. next week compared to the ECMWF/UKMET. Ensemble members by and large showed similar progression trends as their parent models with the GEFS/Canadian/NAEFS ensemble means less progressive than the ECMWF ensemble mean. This remains a difficult emerging split flow forecast with low predictability, but still suspect that a solution on the less progressive side of the full envelope of guidance makes more sense given much guidance does develop a separated southern stream system of which often are on the slow side to eject.

Snowcrazed71 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Just put my daughter to bed and came downstairs to look outside and it's snowing. Left to dusting and still snowing a little. It's weird because it doesn't even show up on radar. Nice little surprise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowman19 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Said yesterday it’s the same setup as 2 weeks ago. No cold air .. NNE gets pasted The fact that the GFS is showing an inland runner is a red flag IMO. At this range you want the GFS being a complete miss to the east given it’s progressive/suppressed bias because you know it’s only going to correct further and further west as we get closer in time. Normally if there’s going to be an east coast snowstorm, at this point in time before the event, the GFS is a whiff while all the other models show something hitting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
