Track Shift

The track has shifted further NW, putting the greatest totals in the Boston area. The snow will come down quickly all morning, but will abruptly end early in the afternoon. Many schools have already called off school, and if you can I would leave extra time to get to work. After the storm ends, arctic air will come into New England. Temps below 0 are possible in Boston for the first time in several years.
