Storm Timeline

A storm will come in from the west in pieces. While it appears that Boston will not get a lot of snow, it will still be a good storm. Determining the rain/snow line is very difficult with this storm as the warm east winds collide with cold air aloft. So, just a slight shift in conditions will make a big difference in snow totals.
