Default The next ten days.....

The next ten days will be colder than normal, so the lake ice will thicken where it has skimmed over. Places without ice will freeze up for the most part during this time.

There will be several minor snow events. There will be 2" to 4" events on this Sunday-Monday, again on Tuesday-Wednesday, and again on Friday-Saturday. These will be little storms, nothing to get wound-up about.

The coldest days will be the 15th through 18th. We should see zero or below those nights.

It will get windy the next two days as this storm pulls away. It will also be windy in the middle of next week. Other than that, the air will be moving, but it will not be gusting over 20 MPH.

Looking further out....

As I said some time ago, BIG TIME January thaw is on track for the last ten days of January and Feb still looks above agerage tempwise. We could see daytime highs in the mid 40s around Jan 22nd to Jan 26th. The ice will still hold where it is currently formed. I do not think the broads will be safe in Feb at this time.

It is risky making forecasts here in New England for periods more than four days out, but this winter seems fairly easy to predict. Things could change and March might be interesting, but for us "weather nuts", this is not an exciting winter.

Of course, if I am incorrect, this could be an interesting thread.
