A major nor'easter will track up the coast and give us a historic blizzard. During the day on Friday snow will overspread the area and roads will become snow covered and dangerous. Friday night will be the height of the storm with blizzard conditions. Saturday will also be bad with heavy snow and strong winds will last well into the day. Coastal flooding will also be a major issue with major coastal flooding in some areas. I suggest to stay off the roads starting Friday afternoon and thru the day on Saturday.
