They hit on several more possibilities, regarding wind or lack thereof, and basically covered everything theoretically possible - or even plausible - for the Boston area at that time of year.
They could have made it shorter (and far more accurate) by saying: "We have no frickin' clue, look out your window."
Anyway, I suppose that's what a "Wintry Mix" is. Either that or a bunch of Christmas and Solstice tunes on shuffle play.
