Another generally cold week is settling in across southern New England… but we finally begin to dry things out as a quieter pattern takes hold.
Our drought status remains front and center, even with today’s rain…
We continue to gain more daylight by the day…
And now something to start paying attention to the UV Index is climbing and becoming noteworthy.
All that, plus a look at that late-week warm-up back toward the 60s…

A colder pattern settles in as we head through the final full week of March… a reminder that while the calendar says spring, the atmosphere doesn’t always agree.
At the same time, our daylight gains, after peaking are now beginning to slow, but just how much light have we actually picked up since the depths of winter?

🌦️ The final full week of winter is here… but winter isn’t going quietly.

Temperatures are on the move this week and not quietly. We’re stepping into a much more active and unsettled pattern across southern New England, with multiple chances for precipitation and plenty to watch as the atmosphere keeps shifting gears. That means one big focus right now: ice safety. Changing temperatures and variable conditions can make ice incredibly unpredictable, so awareness and smart decision-making are key as we head deeper into February.
At the same time, something powerful is happening above us. The Sun is climbing hi...

We’re heading into a much different weather pattern this week — a clear shift toward milder air with very few opportunities for precipitation. The focus now turns to ice dams, not snowstorms. Meanwhile, daylight is increasing fast, and the sun is starting to make its presence felt.
So just how cold has February really been in the past? And what does “the sun always wins” actually mean as we move deeper into late winter?

We’ve finally settled into a true New England winter. Cold air has been the dominant story, with temperatures running well below average, but there’s a subtle shift ahead as we finally sneak back above freezing at times this week. Daylight is making noticeable gains now, adding minutes each day and offering a reminder that the seasonal corner has been turned—even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.
Precipitation chances are limited, making this a relatively quiet stretch of weather, but there’s still plenty to break d...
