Sometimes it is easy to jump on a weather bandwagon, sometimes you just don't see any other option and other times you realize that the science of meteorology is still growing.
The snow event that was to bring a few inches of snow to the Boston area is not going to happen as originally planned.
So, you want to know, what happened? For starters, yes, there is a storm, a potent storm actually that you can see on the map below.
 |
| The storm is impressive looking on satellite images, but will be pushed out to sea instead of tracking closer up the coast. This is why the snow will be minimal in accumulation across New England today. |
 |
| The snow will fall into warmer air as can be seen in the temperature reading in red. The Arctic cold front will usher in much colder air. Less than an inch of snow is now expected across New England |
Yesterday, it was thought that the storm would track just 20-30 miles north of its now present track, and allow a band to set up across New England and to fall into the colder air as snow and accumulate.
 |
| 8 AM EST Temperatures (F) |
The coldest air will stay in Northern VT, NH and Maine and will be trapped by the mountain ranges to our north, however the temperatures currently in the Ohio Valley will move in for Sunday, but will rebound by Monday.
Sunday Weather, The sun will return, it will be colder, with a gusty Northwest Wind creating a bitter wind chill.

| High in Boston on Sunday will be 28 |
