We've had two days stay stuck in the teens so far this winter in Boston. Sunday should make three and will contend for coldest day of winter 2025-26 (current forecast is 16F). #wbz

Today is the final day of solar winter, the darkest 3-month period of the year By next week the sun angle is the same as October, which we affectionately call #SunAngleSzn Brighter times ahead 😎

Sunsets in Boston are after 5pm starting *tomorrow*. In just over 1 month we'll have daylight at 7pm again. #wbz

Congrats everyone you did it. Above freezing for the first time in 9 days. Longest stretch since 2018 (13 days). #wbz

The next chance to hit the freezing mark in Boston is Monday, and it's not a lock That would be 9 straight subfreezing. In 2015 our longest was 15 straight. In 2018 we had 13 straight. Record is 16 (1961)

Tonight's snow just nudged Boston above 20", now putting it into the Top 10 of largest snowfalls on record. #wbz

If you can get around 2 feet in Boston, you've got yourself a very notable snowstorm. It's going to try to get close before all is said and done. #wbz

Odds of 1"-2"+ per hour rates Sunday evening are #LockItIn territory This is also when thundersnow will be most likely ❄️ ⚡️ (6p shown)

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 24/01/2026
I wouldn't want to be driving around after the Pats game Sunday evening. Some of the heaviest rates of the storm that should be in the 1-2"+ per hour range

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 23/01/2026
Anticipation building for the Pats and the snow! Biggest question remains how far north any mixing with sleet gets late Sunday. Most likely on the South Coast, but will have to watch trends over the next 24 hours. #wbz

Geomagnetic storm has arrived! On the aurora watch now when there are breaks in the clouds A G4 level storm can be visible even near city lights, but especially away from bright ambient light Skies will start clearing more in an hour or two

Short version of what we'll be keeping tabs on for the upcoming weekend. Arctic cold will be here no doubt. The question will be how much (any) snow? That won't be clear for a few more days. #wbz

Entering the winter gauntlet Coldest air of the season coming this weekend and with it another chance for snow MLK to Valentine's Day usually apex of winter around here. Definitely looks the case this year

Moooore snow Trends farther NW for tomorrow's snow. Scattered during the day but majority of accumulation evening/overnight Looks like a chance of an inch or two by end of the Pats game in Foxboro #SnowGame 🏈 ❄️ Forecast always available on WBZ and wbz.com

A look at the season so far in Boston. Despite the cold December, still below last year's pace for snow. Expecting <2" on Sunday at the moment...full forecast is on #wbz

At the midway point of Climatological Winter Most of the west having their warmest on record Colder east...Boston is dead center in the middle of all winters on record (since 1872)

Upped the snow for interior spots a little for Saturday. Full forecast for the return of winter at 11 #wbz

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 15/01/2026
Lots of chatter about Sunday, but what about Saturday? Mostly minor stuff but a coating to an inch or two possible with higher end of that most likely in the higher terrain (borderline temps Saturday). #wbz

Update on how the Sunday system is looking Most ensemble members for both GFS and Euro are misses/a graze. Odds of 3"+ very low BUT...a few days out still. I do think there's a chance for *some* snow but unlikely anything big for now Also some minor snowfall (and rain) Saturday
2202
Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 14/01/2026
Sunday PM getting a little more attention for snow potential, though nearly all ensemble members are still a miss Still, worth keeping an eye on as things develop as we are 4 days out

Weather doesn't currently look like it'll be much of a factor on the field Sunday for Patriots v Texans. #wbz

January thaw making quick work of ice on the Charles. One more very mild day to go before cooling down
0271
Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
Staying relatively mild for mid-winter over the next 6 days. Cold air looks like it will try to make a return next week. Full forecast details are always on #wbz

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
More net ice loss ahead through the middle of next week. Be extra careful on some local ponds and lakes as things will be thinning out. #wbz

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 09/01/2026
Patriots forecast has remained steady all week. Low 30s and a gusty breeze. Wintry, but certainly not harsh for the time of year. Outside shot of a passing snow shower. #wbz

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 08/01/2026
⚠️Looks like another icy night tonight as the lower levels of the atmosphere saturate. Areas of freezing fog likely and pavement that may look OK at first glance but will be very slick into the morning hours. #wbz

2025 was the third-highest year... and none were due to hurricanes (no hurricanes hit the U.S. last year for the first time since 2015). **Five** events were caused by hail. Yikes.

Nice little January thaw ahead. Nothing exceptional but certainly milder than it's been. Boston hasn't had 4 straight 40F+ days since November!

Pushing twilight past 5pm again this week for the first time since the start of November. Baby steps. #wbz

Precipitation is over, but another very slippery night ahead with icy untreated surfaces into tomorrow morning ⚠️ After that...a lot of melting coming in SNE through the weekend

Eric Fisher @efisherwx.bsky.social · 05/01/2026
Some light spotty snow tonight, but generally speaking nothing of interest in the snow department for foreseeable future in Boston Pretty much zero/little shot of 1"+ events through mid-month

The December wrap from @bhobservatory.bsky.social Colder, drier, less snowy, and sunnier than average. Like Boston, it was the coldest December since 2017 bluehill.org/december-202...

This weekend we start the process of gaining daylight on both ends of the day. Sunsets have already been getting later, and sunrises start getting earlier on Sunday. Tomorrow also marks perihelion - the day earth is closest to the sun. #wbz

The city has yet to have a 3" snowfall this winter, let alone a 6" one. What do we say people? Does the <6" streak end in January, February, March, or next year?

Those in the squall track this morning did best. A quick couple inches in that burst along the arctic front on top of the light stuff overnight. #wbz

January things. Often the coldest month of the year, but also one where the daylight starts coming back. "As the days get longer the cold gets stronger"

My energy bill confirms: that was a cold December. Been a few years since one that chilly (coldest since 2017). Haven't had many in recent years that had so much cold consistency. #wbz

Most will not see large snow totals, but slick streets will demand slower travel.

Talk about extremes. If you've lived in Boston for the past 20 years or so, it's been very boom or bust. 2009-2018 was the snowiest 10 year stretch on record with tons of huge snowstorms It has been immediately followed by the 2nd least snowy 10-year stretch. #wbz

No shortage of cold this December, but another lackluster one in the snowfall department. Right around and after midnight NYE a bit will affect celebrations, especially toward the Cape! Forecast on #wbz

On wind this December... By average wind speed, not notable. But by average gust, top shelf! When it's been windy, it's been *very* windy

Hope Santa put some chapstick in your stocking. Today is the only day with moisture in the air for a while. Plenty of cold ushered in on strong winds (again) late tonight into tomorrow. 40-60mph winds and wind chills in the single digits...huzzah

Some snow totals tonight. Not much more to come. Anyone with 2"+ should be able to keep 1" for an official "White Christmas" Thursday morning. Those with 1"+ will at least have some scraps of wintry decoration. #wbz

This is hands down my favourite #SolarFlare in recent years, an event from September 2024. The flare persisted for several hours, giving us a jaw-dropping view of ‘coronal rain’ (seen in the yellow structure) and ‘supra-arcade downflows’ (seen in the cyan structure). A beauty!

New England may have the most typical/quiet weather in the country for Christmas Widespread record warmth expected elsewhere (should be the warmest Christmas on record for the Lower 48 as a whole) Extreme flash flood risk developing in southern California tomorrow
