An Incredibly Moist February
An Incredibly Moist February
Boston may be on its way to a record moist February. So far, precipitation has totaled 6.72" That makes this the 5th wettest February on record already.
And, we still have more time and more precipitation to go through. The wettest February on record occurred in 1984 with 7.81" of precipitation. Our next round of precipitation will probably come in the frozen variety. Yes, I'm talking about the likelihood of some accumulating snow Friday afternoon and/or night. The colder air that is moving in now will be setting the stage for the very end of the week snow threat. Meanwhile, don't forget to check out Wednesday night's total lunar eclipse, which begins (partially) at 8:43 p.m., reaches totality from 10:01 p.m. thru 10:52 p.m., and then ends shortly after midnight.
