April Fool's Blizzard?

I was only 5 when we had a big blizzard on April 1, 1997 and Boston got 2 FEET of snow. I don't remember the storm too well, but anyone who lived in JP at that time and is older I'm pretty sure remembers. Now, I am not forecasting a repeat of that storm. However, a powerful Nor'easter is expected at this time. A very strong storm will pass SE of Nantucket on Friday giving us heavy precip and gale force winds. The big question at this time how will most of the precip fall during the day on Friday. At this point most models are suggesting A MAINLY WET SNOW EVENT with a plowable snow possible (6+), even close to Boston. This would create many power outages all over New England. However, with water temps around 40 along the waters edge we would need a wind more to the north than NE to keep the mix away. At this point I think that winds will stay more northerly keeping it mainly snow, except on the South shore and points SE where rain will mix in. But just a slight shift in the atmosphere Boston could have more a wind off the water-cutting snow totals down quite a bit compared to just a little inland.

Boston, MA forecast:

Tonight: Clear with lows in the 20's.

Wednesday: Mostly Sunny with highs around 50. NE wind of 10-15 MPH.

Wednesday night: Increasing clouds with lows around 30.

Thursday: Cloudy and cooler with highs in the low 40's.

Thursday night: Cloudy with precip arriving around dawn. Lows around freezing. Stay tuned for a timeline tomorrow.

April Fool's Day: A powerful nor'easter may give a major winter storm and gale force winds to most of the area. Highs around freezing. I will give my snow amounts tomorrow. Stay tuned for more updates!
