Snow!

The storm that was expected to go out to sea, stalled earlier than expected and backed west. That brought a foot of snow to the Cape and Islands today, and some snow to the Boston area. As of 11 PM, the steadiest snow is over but snow showers will continue through the morning. We may pick up and additional inch or two before it winds down after the commute. More snow now is likely for Wednesday, with amounts still in question.
