Nor'easter Forecast

A powerful storm will come up the coast and give the area a lot of snow Thursday into Friday. It looks like light to moderate snow will start overnight Wednesday night and continue thru Thursday. The heaviest snow will be overnight Thursday night into Friday morning. At this point several inches are likely, but it does not look like a blockbuster storm. However,  just a slight shift to the west could bring higher totals of snow to eastern MA. And , the snow will blow and drift because oft the strong winds.

Boston forecast:

New Years Eve: Partly to mostly cloudy. Low 18. NW wind of 10-20 MPH. Happy New Year!
