Blizzard Wednesday!

A powerful ocean storm will slam the Boston area on Wednesday with heavy snow and wind. The heaviest snow will fall during the morning commute, along with blowing and drifting as the wind gusts over 4o MPH. The snow will last thru most of the day, really piling up-especially away from the coast. Although amounts in Boston and near the coast won't be too bad either, except on the Cape and islands.
