This is a weather report on MassLive.com from Dan Brown, abc40 meterologist:
A PVTA bus traverses through the snow on Main St. in Springfield Monday morning
The snow totals may not be as impressive as first forecasted, with between 6-12 inches of snow piling up across the Pioneer Valley, but that does not take anything away from this storms strength. In fact, the central pressure is now down to 968mb making it as strong as a category 2 or 3 Hurricane. Impressive!
A dry slot of air kept us mainly dry for a period of time overnight but now we are dealing with more falling snow. The snow will be winding down by mid-morning but the wind and blowing snow will continue throughout the day.
It will remain cold, too, with highs only in the middle and upper 20s. Winds gusting over 40 mph combined with temperatures in the 20s will make it feel as though it's in the single numbers and teens.
If you hate all this cold and snow, hang in there — it looks as though we have a decent warm-up on the way. It will remain cold and windy both today and tomorrow however as we close out 2010 temperatures could be well into the 40s and perhaps even over 50! All this snow could be gone by the New Year!
Have a great Monday!
Dan Brown
