Advice on antenna for Boston area

New here, and hoping to get some advice. I’ve begun researching to take a step towards cutting the cable cord. I would like to install an antenna on my roof. My plan is to dedicate one TV right now to OTA channels to see if we like it, and if we do, will cut the cord on the other two TVs in the house.
Attached is my tvfool report.

Some details/questions:
1. I live about 10 miles south of Boston.
2. My goal is to get as many channels as possible because I need to convince the rest of the family that cutting the cord is worth it.
3.I’m hoping that I don’t need a monster of an antenna. Too big, and the family will ax my attempt at cutting the cord.
4.General question: is reception effected by weather, or is it more of either you get a channel or you don’t? I’m basically wondering if you have to deal with inconsistent reception when using an antenna.

Any advice and antenna suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
