12/21/11 A Warm Winter Solstice



On this shortest day of the year, warm weather has surged northward into most of Massachusetts, as can be seen on the weather map below. A warm front straddles the region just north of the Mass Pike (I90) where a sharp temperature contrast exists. 15 degrees in about 8 miles!

A warm front straddles Massachusetts tonight.
Temperatures in the mid 50s will continue until another front pushes through late Thursday to drop temperatures to seasonal levels.

Compare to the Summer solstice sunset - Note the sun angle (shaddow)
