🌦️ The final full week of winter is here… but winter isn’t going quietly.
A significant warm-up kicks off the week, and the big melt is officially underway across Southern New England. Snowbanks will shrink, puddles will grow, and it will finally feel a little like spring.
But don’t pack away the shovel just yet.
❄️ Winter is not finished.
A few systems moving through this week could bring another round of rain… and possibly some sno...

🚨❄️ THE BLIZZARD OF ’26 RECAP IS HERE! ❄️🚨
Scituate just lived through a storm that will be talked about for YEARS and we’re breaking it all down.
How strong was it?
How historic was it?
And what actually makes a blizzard… a blizzard?
As we flip the calendar to March and welcome Meteorological Spring, winter clearly didn’t get the memo. Temperatures stay below average most of the week, and we’ll talk about whether this cold is here to linger or fin...

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 higher, an...

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?
All...

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 down...
