We’ve finally settled into a true New England winter. Cold air has been the dominant story, with temperatures running well below average, but there’s a subtle shift ahead as we finally sneak back above freezing at times this week. Daylight is making noticeable gains now, adding minutes each day and offering a reminder that the seasonal corner has been turned—even if it doesn’t feel like it yet.

Precipitation chances are limited, making this a relatively quiet stretch of weather, but there’s still plenty to break down. We’ll also take a quick mental escape to a tropical location while the bitter cold lingers here at home. All of that, plus the full Weekly Weather Preview, on Episode #229 of Obsessed with the Weather.

Enjoy!

Join Steve on Episode #228 of Obsessed with the Weather for an awesome interview with one of the most interesting people in the Southern New England surf scene, Mark Keup, owner of the Nor’easter Surf Shop! 🌊🏄‍♂️🔥

Mark is the real deal: a dedicated business owner, a truly obsessed surfer, and a competitive triathlete and cyclist who lives and breathes endurance, adventure, and the ocean lifestyle. This conversation is packed with energy, stories, and insight and Mark is the kind of guest who makes you feel like you’re hanging out in the surf shop just listening to him talk about the things he loves.

We dive into the Southern New England surf scene, what it’s really like chasing swell around our coastline, and what makes surfing here such a unique challenge and a total thrill. Mark also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to run an incredible local surf shop, build a community, and keep that stoke alive year-round.

And it doesn’t stop there; Mark is also deep into the world of competitive racing, including velodrome cycling, which is absolutely fascinating. Whether you’re into surfing, fitness, triathlon training, cycling, or just love hearing from passionate local legends who are all in on what they do… this episode is for you.

Our January thaw continues, and we’re also keeping an eye on a potential coastal storm toward the end of the week. We’ll break down what we’re watching and what could change as the forecast comes into focus.

With fluctuating temperatures, it’s a good time to talk pond skating and ice safety; why ice conditions can change quickly and what to look for before heading out.

We’ll also highlight our increasing daylight, now gaining sunlight on both ends of the day, along with an updated look at drought conditions across the region.

All that, plus your daily weather preview for the week ahead, on Episode #227 of Obsessed with the Weather.

Enjoy!
