Tranquil Times Ahead...At Least Concerning the Weather

A snowy Wednesday for some of us. Snow showers and squalls were pretty much with us all day. The snow started here in Woburn, off and on, around 1 PM and lasted until about 6 PM. All said and done, we managed to get a dusting of snow on the cars, porches, and grassy surfaces. Spots in Litchfield Co., CT, and the Berkshires of MA may see three or four inches of snow. That is about as much action as we are going to see as the next several days look to be very quiet. The possible St. Patrick's Day storm is going to go well south of us and may give some light rain and snow to the nation's capitial. In fact, the storm will be at its peak in southeastern Minnesota and southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois as a good 6-9" of snow is possible there.

Around these parts, a pattern change has been under way and we are going back to the Greenland Block weather pattern of February and early March. Highs the rest of this week and into next look to be below normal, but with the Greenland Block, there will be no chance of storms in this period, as if there was, they would be in the form of snow.
