Good morning folks, we’re waking up to a winter wonderland out there, with our first widespread light snowfall of the season. As pretty as it is, watch for secondary and tertiary roads with ice or snow on them, as travel will be slippery in some areas. If you love winter, soak it up today and tonight as all of this snow will vanish by the weekend.
We’ve got lots to run through, but before we jump into our weather details, I’ve got a note from our local and delicious sponsor, #TandemBagelCo, who just opened a new location in West Springfield, MA.

WEATHER BULLETIN:
–Good morning folks, we’re quite cold out there with fresh snowpack. Temps are in the teens and 20s!
–We won’t rebound a ton today, but we’ll get some partial sunshine to build in with high clouds building during the day
–Highs will reach the low to upper 30s, but some areas of SVT may only sit in the upper 20s
–A warm front approaches the region tonight, and so clouds will thicken up as lows drop into the low to mid 20s, which means snow sticks around
–Not only that, but a band of snow is expected to work through the region after midnight on the leading edge of this milder air moving in
–This could produce some fresh coatings in southwest NH, southern VT and northwest MA before dawn tomorrow
–For Friday, we’ll have mostly cloudy skies but highs will reach the upper 30s to mid 40s, so melting will begin
–At night, another stronger warm front will move into the region, and with temps just below freezing, a period of freezing rain is expected so some slippery travel will be possible early Saturday morning
–Any freezing rain will turn to plain rain by mid-morning Saturday, and our temps will be off to the races behind the secondary warm front
–Highs are expected to soar into the mid to upper 50s with showers at times during the day, so our little taste of winter will vanish by Saturday night for sure

–By the evening, a cold front will be moving into the region, and ahead of it southwesterly winds will likely gust between 30-40mph
–We can’t rule out a thunderstorm with the frontal passage, as well as some heavy showers
–After the front works through from west to east, winds will veer out of the west and gust potentially even stronger, which may cause some isolated power outages and wind damage
–Highs on Sunday will only climb into the upper 30s to mid 40s, but we’l enjoy a mostly sunny day behind the front, and our lows will bottom out in the upper 20s to low 30s
–Monday through Wednesday looks like a fair weather period with highs generally in the 45-50º range and lows near freezing, so we have that to look forward to!
Take it easy on the back roads, live long and prosper, be nice and stuff, and have a great day!
