Wait, we thought we were supposed to get some freezing rain, but that sure looks like snow - big, big, big flakes - outside the French Toast aerie on the Roslindale/Hyde Park frontier.

FIRST ALERT: A wintry mess is zeroing in on southern New England this evening. Here's what to expect where you live. on.nbcboston.com/X6qskyd

Our skein of pesky little storms continues: The National Weather Service says we could see 1 to 2 inches starting late Monday afternoon. How're those fixins holding out? bostonfrenchtoast.com #Boston

Missed the French Toast ‼️ this time around so I made mini apple Dutch babies instead ❄️ @universalhub.com @bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social

Looks like parts of the Gtr French Toast Area could get a bit more snow than the dusting we once thought. NWS says there's a chance of up to 4' right up to the Neponset. Might want to make a fixins run Sat. because we could get iced in Sun. night (then it changes to rain). bostonfrenchtoast.com

THE WICKED WHITE STUFF IS HERE BOSTON @weatherishappening.com @universalhub.com

Might wind up as a white Christmas after all - NWS is no longer saying we can expect snow Tuesday to change to rain, it will instead likely just stay snow. Not a lot of snow, but enough to hunt Black Bart in the back yard (just be careful not to shoot your eye out). bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS says we could get some snow Tuesday. But a white Christmas? Maybe not: Although the Greater French Toast Area might get an inch, it might also be washed out when the precip turns to rain. Still, worth an upgrade from 1 to 2 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

"Confidence increasing for a potent storm system to impact the area late Thursday into Friday," NWS says, but, of course, these days that means lots and lots of rain, not snow (so get those Morrissey Boulevard and Quincy Shore Drive detour routes ready). bostonfrenchtoast.com

We got just enough #snow ... www.universalhub.com/2025/we-got-... #Boston #Allston #snowmice

I was a bit surprised to wake up with ❄️ but glad i was prepared for it. @universalhub.com @bostonfrenchtoast.bsky.social

Latest NWS forecast says 1-2 in. possible south of the turnpike - maybe even 3-4 inches closer to the Cape - Sat. night into Sun., but just a dusting to an in. north of the 'pike. So people in Hyde Park, Roslindale might want to double check the fixins, while people in Allston and Cambridge, meh?

Snow? Is NWS saying snow? And even on the coastal plain? Yes, they are, more or less, for Saturday night into Sunday: "Now, before everyone becomes too excited this system doesn't appear to be a prolific snow maker." So 2 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

The NWS says all the forecasting models now say we mostly can expect lots of rain on the coastal plain. So down to 2 Slices/Guarded, partly because the rain snow line is still pretty close to 128, partly because we might see a bit of snow on Thurs. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS now has two scenarios for Tues.: Mainly rain on the coastal or a chance of up to 6 inches in the Greater French Toast Area. Frankly, we're no longer used to large amounts of snow, so we're getting vexed - and raising the alert to 3 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS got us out of our tryptophan haze with news of a poss. storm Tues/Wed. At first looks like any snow would be mostly outside 128, but NWS says we could see a "gloppy/sloppy wet snow-to-rain scenario" on the coastal plain. So we'll start with 1 Slice/Low for now ... bostonfrenchtoast.com

A little early for French toast, but then, it is a #noreaster out there: Downed trees, water everywhere, and in one supermarket - the rain was coming from inside the house #Boston www.universalhub.com/2025/little-...

NWS: "It's true, a late season nor'easter is on its way to southern New England for Thurs. All this name means is this is a coastal storm with winds out of the northeast. While these most often develop between Sept and April, they are possible any time of year." forecast.weather.gov/product.php?...

Look who's back in the Greater French Toast Region!

Maybe some snowflakes tonight? But, the NWS says: "A minor, slushy accumulation of snow is expected in the interior, with any snow being washed away by rain early Monday in the coastal plain," i.e., the Greater French Toast Region.

Musk administration lays off weather forecasters, including at least one locally www.universalhub.com/2025/musk-ad... #Boston #NWS

3 Slices. We weren't feeling it last night - not after last weekend, a 4 Slicer that didn't really deserve it, the NWS is saying we could see snow, sleet and then rain, so tomorrow could be enough of a mess you won't want to go to the store, so you should really go out now. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Latest forecast from the NWS Boston office: "A widespread 5 to 9 inches is expected regionwide with a low probability (10-20% chance) of 10-12 inches possible across northern MA, including the city of Boston." bostonfrenchtoast.com

It's a winter-storm-watch kinda weekend. NWS says 6-8, Matt Noyes says maybe a foot! But we're not going to 4 Slices because of this but because this storm could be followed by at least two more storms in a few days. That adds up to a lot of French toast. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Anytime the NWS mentions The Benchmark, we get a twitchy Alert trigger finger. A storm Sat. night could pass right over The Benchmark, but we'll restrain ourselves just a bit longer before raising the Alert to 4 Slices. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Have upped the alert to 3 Slices / Elevated, because we're going to get a mini-wallopping (2-3 inches with ice/rain on top). Then we could see a storm Sat. followed by one or maybe two storms Tues. or Weds. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS says there might be a few snow squalls Tues. morning, although likely well outside the Greater French Toast Area (yes, beyond 128). But then a "weak clipper system" moves in Tuesday night, possibly leaving behind 2-3 inches, "especially near and north of the MA pike." bostonfrenchtoast.com

Something wintry this way comes www.universalhub.com/2025/somethi... #snowmygod #clouds #Boston

NWS has expanded its winter-storm warning to all of the Greater French Toast Area - 4-8 inches with even the odd 10-incher. "If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency." Spare pet for warmth wouldn't hurt, we suppose. bostonfrenchtoast.com

NWS has issued a Winter Storm Warning right up to the Suffolk line for 8 inches Sun night, maybe even 10 in some spots. Suffolk and Norfolk only get a winter-storm watch, for maybe 4 to 8, but make sure the pantry is fully stocked: Snowstorms rarely follow county lines. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Oh, man, we were just getting ready to do a recap of the infamous IT'S BOMBOGENESIS BABY blizzard of aught-15, when more current weather snuck up on is. NWS says we could get up to 6 inches on Sunday, so no, not a repeat, but still. You know what to do. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Who knew Arlo and Janis live in the #Boston area? www.gocomics.com/arloandjanis...

A little light reading from the National Weather Service about Saturday: "Light snow through the day with light accumulations."

Yeah, nor'easter will pass well outside the dreaded 40/70 benchmark. But, NWS says we could still get "a quick dusting to 1 inch of snow, possibly localized 2 inches on Saturday." So throw on a couple slices with which to contemplate the (maybe) pretty dusting outside. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Big storm coming. Big, big. Gonna bury Texas. But it's looking like it'll miss us (the headline below, btw, proves Betteridge's Law of Headlines: Any headline that ends with a question mark can be answered "no"). www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

Snow totals of 3 to 6 inches in the #Boston area, Jeremy Reiner reports, using the finest artisanal, hand-crafted weather map - marker on actual paper. www.threads.net/@wxguru1977/...

Hmm, looking out the windows of the French Toast Alert bunker, looks like that festive pre-Christmas snowfall is coming early. Like right this second (granted, we're up in the higher elevations along a mountain pass in #Roslindale). NWS still calling for 1-3 inches.

The NWS now says we can expect "more of a festive pre-Christmas snowfall that will drop anywhere from a coating to an inch or two from Friday into Saturday afternoon." Festive? Sounds like a good reason to make some French toast first thing Saturday morning.

NWS says a potential nor'easter is heading our way, but it will mostly be outside the dreaded 40/70 benchmark, so it's mostly only going to churn up the fish well out to sea, but we could see 1 to 3 inches - or maybe even "a more significant impact." bostonfrenchtoast.com

Wait, what happened to all the rain on the coastal plain? www.universalhub.com/2024/wait-wh... #CambridgeMA #snow

Um, that's not rain on the coastal plain. At least it's pretty. NWS now says: "Gusty conditions and below normal temperatures continue Friday into Saturday with a low chance of an isolated snow shower or snow squall." So still a good reason to have some French Toast tomorrow morning.

The NWS forecasts rain "along the Boston to Providence corridor," starting Wednesday night, says we might see "a bit of snow...but do not think it will amount to much if anything." So 1 Slice/Low it is for us. bostonfrenchtoast.com

Touch of snow Weds. into Thurs? NWS: "It will likely be cold enough for precip to fall as snow or a rain/snow mix all the way to the coast, but snow totals continue to look light at this time." We're staying at 1 Slice for the nonce, but might update to 2 if need be. bostonfrenchtoast.com

🌨️ Thanksgiving Storm Details: Lasts most of the day. Rain south, snow north & west, but sharp elevation differences. A foot of snow possible in high terrain. Gusty winds: 40+ mph on the Cape to Boston. Matt Noyes breaks it down: 1degreeoutside.com/insights-202...

Have lowered the Alert to 1 Slice/Low, with the National Weather Service says confidence is high it'll just be rain on the coastal plan on Thanksgiving. bostonfrenchtoast.com

OK, class, we can settle down again. the NWS now says that while we'll be getting a storm Thanksgiving, "confidence is high the coastal plain will see mainly rain." But we'll stay at 2 Slices/Guarded for just a bit longer, just in case. #Boston

Who's dreaming of a white Thanksgiving? Forecast not set in stone, but the NWS is talking about possible snow Thanksgiving, and they're mentioning the dreaded 40/70 benchmark, so might want to throw some extra bread, milk and eggs in with your turkey shopping, just to be safe. bostonfrenchtoast.com

@tevinwooten.bsky.social is here now, so another addition to the Boston Weather starter pack.

Have added @petebouchard.bsky.social to the Boston Weather starter pack. bsky.app/starter-pack...

Wait, is the NWS's Boston-area office mentioning "snow" in a forecast? Yes, but just as a possibility Friday for "the higher elevations," which means the Worcester hills and the Berkshires, not the Greater French Toast Region, so zzzz. forecast.weather.gov/product.php?...
