The Ice Sculpture Artists like this weather, no melting from here to 2009!
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.

Record Warm Sunday, That means more Strong Wind.

As the warm air arrives, wind may gust over 45 mph from the southwest Sunday, then shift and gust over 45 mph from the northwest Sunday Night.

“When I was a Boy, The Snow was So Deep”

Posted by Tim Kelley December 22, 2008 at 8:19 pm

We hear that line a lot.. that the snow seemed much deeper when we were little. Compared to how tall we were, the snow was much deeper! :). This young man may grow up to tell tales of Christmas 2008, as the Good Old Days. Thank you Kathy Fox, of Chelmsford Massachusetts, for sharing your Snowy Sunday Scene.

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:

Sky Scenes! Wednesday, December 17, 2008

Posted by Matt Noyes December 17, 2008 at 9:10 am

The recent ice storm has meant a lot of damage across interior New England, but has also meant a sleu of amazing pictures. Whether from the hardest hit areas, encased in glassy ice, or pictures of big puddles and coastal flooding from others, the photographs have been astounding. I invite everyone not only to peruse the image gallery, but also to start your own Flickr account and start sharing your own photos today! You just may see them on NECN!

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

Posted by Tim Kelley December 11, 2008 at 9:24 pm

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
