Storm Forecast

 A powerful nor'easter will impact the region from Saturday evening thru Sunday. Snow will arrive in the evening and in some places it will snow all the way thru the day on Sunday. But, in Boston I expect it to mix with rain at times cutting back on accumulations. But, just a degree or 2 could make a huge difference in how much snow falls in JP. At this point several inches appears likely with a bit less towards the beaches and a tad more inland. Stay tuned for any last minute chances in the forecast on Saturday!
