It will be noticeably colder today. Despite more sunshine, highs will only top out in the low 30s. Since there will still be a breeze, wind chills will be in the teens and 20s. A very messy system on the way for Thursday. Expect increasing clouds tonight with snow developing by daybreak. (Solid chance schools will be closed.) We will likely pick up 1″ to 3″ across the state before the snow switches to sleet and/or freezing rain. Of course, that freezing rain will put a glaze of ice on everything–driving could be hazardous in the afternoon and evening. ANOTHER tricky storm is looming for Saturday night–another snow to wintry mix situation.
Today is National Weatherperson’s Day, commemorating the birth of John Jeffries in 1744. Jeffries, a Boston physician and one of America’s first weather observers, began taking weather observations in Boston in 1774.
