Blizzard Warning

 A potential historic blizzard is on the way with feet of snow, winds to hurricane force and coastal flooding. The storm will arrive Sunday evening and last thru the day on Monday. The height of the storm will be on Monday. There will be whiteout conditions for several hours as snow falls a few inches per hour. Please stay at home on Monday and make sure all electronics are charged.

A Blizzard Warning is in effect for the Boston area from 4 PM Sunday thru 7 AM Tuesday. For blizzard requirement to be met we must have winds over 35 MPH, snow and visibility lower than 1/4 of a mile for at least 3 hours in a row. And I expect that to be met in the Boston area.
