6 degrees F (-14.4C) when I got home from skating last night just after midnight, about 9 F (-13C) when I left for Newton this morning on an errand.
Bright and sunny, and feeling deceptively warm for an air temp of 12 F (-11C), but there is no wind at all for the moment.
Next round of snow starts tomorrow and we are expecting anything up to almost a half meter (16 inches) by Tuesday morning.

Cal - 7" rain on the Olympic Peninsula the past couple of days, and snow level at 6000Ft
We need our own wet coast weather predicting rodent - Mt Washington Margie the Marmot or some such 😉

Our rain has been a lot less but I've noticed we keep the dog drying towel by the door now instead of putting it away. 😉 ,but the warmth is throwing everything all off kilter.
I saw the light today, between the clouds and the rain. ...It was like a postcard of a newborn.
17ºC and cloudy at 15:00. Shorts and a T for the dog walk.
All the local ski hills are long closed.

I'll see your 17 and raise you 2. Yesterday was 71f here. (22C). Tomorrow should be about the same. Unheard of for early Feb. Ski areas still open, they're a mile higher and have diy snow.
Was Maggie the marmot carrying an umbrella when she came out?

It's insane - the East coast is getting pummeled, and we're havinf warm rain with the temperature in the mid 60's F. We definitely can use the rain but I wasn't expecting it to be warm this time of the year.
Only got to 11.5C here today, but still warm enough for an enjoyable spin on the bike.🙂

It's a slow motion train wreck here, the public transportation infrastructure here in Boston is finally collapsing. Large parts of the subway system will be shutdown just after tomorrow's morning commute for god knows what purpose, and will resume operation after 3PM.
It has been dribbling snow for a day and half and we expect it to continue for another 36 hours at least. So far about 8 inches have fallen and we are expecting more than another foot. This will put us over six feet (2 meters) in the past couple of weeks.
Driving around here is a real menace because you cannot see around any corners until you pull out, we have 2 meter + snow banks on most corners of our neighborhood now, and more than 2 meters in our yard.
It's getting very old.. Working on a number of projects to keep entertained and outside mostly to run the snow blower on a periodic basis, it's also rather cold, currently 14 degrees F or -10C..

I can understand what a total nightmare it must be to have that much snow around. As a young lad, I worked in Kitimat BC, were it would snow 3 feet overnight, which was perfectly normal. No subways though, and a small army of equipment to deal with it, meant very little disruption to normal activities.

We're used to big snow storms, but not right on top of each other. We're getting a couple of feet in each storm and only days apart in most cases. I think the biggest problem is that there is nowhere to put it.
We had commuter rail crash a few miles from here due to snow on a crossing causing a truck from down south to get stuck on the tracks, two subway train fires, a station fire, and a stranding of about 500 people on a red line subway train running on the surface portion of the Braintree line. We've had snow related accidents on some of the LRV lines as well.
It feels shambolic.. lol
They want to have the Olympics here in 2024, can't imagine it, Boston is not at this point world class..
We have not had major power interruptions so far fortunately.

Jeff mentioned Kitimat - 168cm in 12 hours

In respect for our neighbours in the east, I think I'll just keep my mouth shut about our weather. I feel for you guys. I hope the end is near.
Make it stop... Please
I hate snow. I hate snow. I hate snow..
Got up this morning to a fresh 18 inches or so (almost half meter) of fallen snow, and it's coming down at the rate of an inch an hour or more.
Here are some pictures out of my bedroom window this morning. The snow directly outside the window is on our porch roof and reached a height of a meter or more. My wife shoveled the roof while I cleared a lot of snow from the driveway and walks with the snow blower.
The NWS is predicting another storm close on the heals of this one which won't end until sometime tomorrow.
Nowhere to put the snow. We have 10 foot (3 meter) snow piles in our yard, and our ground story windows will soon be covered - some of the front porch ones already are.
Another epic MBTA fail this morning. MBTA pictures via twitter.. This is not too far from our house. (Rails and third rail under snow, electric train don't go..)

Indeed it is. Next time I feel motivated I'll take some more pictures and post them. It's starting to look like Rochester NY around here, unlike here they are equipped to deal with massive amounts of snow.
The real problem is that we had no snow at all for two months and in the past couple of weeks have gotten perhaps 70 inches + in heavy storms spaced a day or two apart at most. It's very unusual.

We seem to get the storms one or two days ahead of you. The precipitation ended here about two hours ago, but some sporadic snowfall still lingers. The temp has dropped 14 degrees since noon, that usually marks the end of the falling stuff.
We have been on the edge of the rain / snow line for most of the past week, so it snows at night and rains by day. The creek is about 3 feet above normal, and is flowing fast enough to knock you over. All of the standing water is freezing over.
There has been a truck stuck in the mud out at our construction site for about a week. Every day it sinks a little more. As of yesterday they couldn't open the passenger side doors.
The radar looks clear to the northwest, but the NWS and the weather channel call for snow on Wednesday and Thursday.
Snow now coming down at the rate of 2 inches an hour, and although I snowblowed a couple of hours ago, it looks like I will be going out shortly to do some more. 🙁
