More Snow and Ice on the Way!

The Monday 9:00 a.m. conditions:

31.5 degrees F and rising;
91% humidity and steady;
29.80" pressure and steady;
USFS Fire Danger Class is NONE;
everything is coated in a sheet of ice, but black ice, so watch carefully.
as it was all ice the rain gauge has no reading.

MORE WEATHER HEADED IN!

The Hazardous Weather Outlook from the National Weather Service Sums it up nicely:

A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WITH AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW
FOLLOWED BY THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING. THE MOST LIKELY AREA
FOR SIGNIFICANT ICING APPEARS TO BE ALONG AND NORTH OF LINE FROM THE
GREATER SPRINGFIELD AREA EXTENDING NORTHEAST TO FITCHBURG AND
LAWRENCE MASSACHUSETTS.

ONE THING TO KEEP IN MIND...THE POTENTIAL CERTAINLY DOES EXIST FOR
SOME DOWN TREE LIMBS AND POWER OUTAGES WITH ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF
INCH OF FREEZING RAIN ON TOP OF THE SNOW/SLEET. HOWEVER...THIS
EVENT WILL ALSO FEATURE A PERIOD OF SNOW FOLLOWED BY SLEET...BEFORE
THE FREEZING RAIN. THIS MEANS THAT THE AMOUNT OF FREEZING RAIN WE
RECEIVE SHOULD BE LESS AND NOT AS DESTRUCTIVE/WIDESPREAD AS WHAT WE
SAW A MONTH AGO. NONETHELESS...THIS STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS OVER A PORTION OF THE REGION THAT WAS HARD HIT
LAST MONTH SO WE CERTAINLY ARE CONCERNED. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE MANY
TREES ARE ALREADY SEVERELY DAMAGED...WHICH WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR
LIMBS TO COME DOWN AND COULD RESULT IN MORE POWER OUTAGES.

So there you have it folks!
While this will be worse to our north, and weather is fickle, we could end up with another storm that brings down more limbs.
