The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning & Blizzard Warning from 2am thru 8pm Wednesday. The timing of this storm looks similar to what I discussed in the previous blog, so I won’t get into that again.
I have added a little to the snow totals, due to a slightly colder solution and a fluff factor of accumulating snow. Total snow across eastern MA, except Cape Cod, should be in the 10-16 inch range. It’s not out of the question that a few isolated 17 or 18 inch amounts are seen. I still think the majority of the amounts will come in at 14 inches or less, due to the quick movement of the storm.
Also, do not be surprised to hear thunder during the heaviest snow Wednesday morning. It is during these periods of heavier snow that blizzard conditions are most likely.
Another update will follow this evening!
Hey when will state usually call a state of emergancy? Usually my work will call off if that is the case… Just wondering… 🙂
Wish I had a good answer for you. Predicting decisions by government officials is alot harder than the weather sometimes. 😉 I’d expect they may very well call it later this evening though, given Boston is included in a blizzard warning area.
