If you are out and about, dress in layers. The sky should be clear. We will a few inches of fresh snow on the ground, with temperatures in the teens and single numbers on New Year’s Eve. The wind will be from the northwest 15-25 mph.

As the advertised “wall of snow” approaches, live chat with Matt, live coverage on NECN, and interactive opportunities for everyone

Posted by Matt Noyes December 19, 2008 at 10:04 am

We’ve been tracking today’s storm for days - after producing record snow in Las Vegas, dense fog in Houston, heavy snow and sleet in the Midwest, and a snow blitz through the Great Lakes, this well-defined storm is making a bee-line for New England. During the afternoon, snow will fall at one to two inches per hour for most of Central and Southern New England.

Through it all, we’ll bring you continuing coverage on NECN, here on WeatherNewEngland.com, and on the weather page of NECN.com. Live radar updates can be found on NECN at the top of each half hour as I track the wall of snow and its trip to New England. A live interactive chat will take place starting just after 10:30 AM (immediately after my on-air update) on Boston.com. Through it all, we cherish your reports, as our viewers serve as the eyes and ears for NECN across New England, in addition to our team of reporters fanned out across the region.

To submit photos to the Sky Scenes group for air on NECN, click here. If you’re already a Flickr member, you’re set to go. If not, it’ll only take you a minute or two to sign up and start submitting!

To send us text emails and updates and let us know what’s happening in your neighborhood as the storm rolls on (with snow measurements, please!), email weather@necn.com, and your email will go to our entire team.

We’ll keep you posted every step of the way as this storm plasters New England. In the meantime, enjoy this collection of images from the mark this storm has already left on our nation:

Record Warm & Windy Monday, Colder Snow Ice Rain Tuesday Night

Posted by Tim Kelley December 15, 2008 at 9:37 pm

Southerly wind gusting over 55 mph pushed the temperature to a record highs Monday. The good news was that warm air melted a lot of ice, the bad news was more tree damage reported in Maine.
An overnight cold front passage will bring seasonable chill Tuesday.
The front stalls south of New England with low pressure tracking near Cape Cod Wednesday. The air will be cold enough for a few inches of snow in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine from Midnight Tuesday to sunset Wednesday. For Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the precipitation will transition from snow to sleet, then rain, at the shore. But inland we may have a low level wind from the north, trapping air cold enough for snow to change to sleet and freezing rain. This time though, ice accretion amounts will be less than a quarter inch, probably less than a tenth of an inch. If this forecast works out, we should not see further tree damage, but we will have icy roads with possible delays and/or cancellations Wednesday.

3″ Snow Baton Rouge Louisana- 3″ Rain Boston MA

Thursday December 11, 2008 Snow fell in New Orleans Louisiana for the first time since 2004. Many records were set for early and deep snow in Texas and Louisiana. It appears that 8″ in Amite LA, where two roofs of businesses collapsed under the weight of heavy snow, received the most. Check this link to The National Weather Service for specific records.

Look at the snowman in Houston Texas! Mel and Santiago and Lilyann due dec. 28th by Mel Hayden Houston Chronicle Online.
In New England we have snow rain and ice. There are two kinds of ice Storms. Ice that bounces is sleet. Ice that falls as liquid then freezes on contact is Freezing Rain (Glaze). We have both bouncy and drippy tonight. Detailed nicely by Matt and Danielle below.
Damage Reports are coming in- Southern New England, Northern New England, Vermont

Warmer With Snow- Tracking 3 Day Storm. Rain/Ice/Snow

Posted by Tim Kelley December 9, 2008 at 7:32 pm

A warm front brought huge temperature jump with a bit of snow. This image from CrownofMaine.com of Presque Isle Maine Snowing 16 degrees 5 PM Tuesday. For most of New England our temperature warmed 40 degrees from zero and below at Sunrise to 40 degrees and higher at sunset. For the next three days we have a front oscillating north and south across our six states. This makes for a dizzying array of Rain/Ice/Snow/Wind into Friday.

Acorn Count Controversy, Ski Season Update, Wolf or Coyote?

Posted by Tim Kelley November 14, 2008 at 9:43 pm

I wanted to comment on something which Tim Kelley said on the report. Which is that every town in New England had Coyotes. I live in Chilmark Mass. on Marthas Vineyard and to my knowledge their are no Coyotes in any of the Towns on the Island of M.V. I know they are on the Cape and also the Elizabeth Islands I do not know about Nantucket but doubt they have gotten out there at this point. By the way Your Weather Forcasts are top notch I am a surfer and keep close track of the weather thanks, Chas de Geofroy Chilmark Ma.

From Tim.. Yes Chas, my error. Mark told me no coyotes on Vineyard and Nantucket. Thanks for the correction.
