weather forecast? yikes!

We've had very little snow so far this winter but it looks like the weather wizard may be planning a change very soon. Unlike the snow forecasts earlier this season that called for snow that didn't happen, this one sounds like it could be real. Funny, the words for the local forecast don't say anything about snow accumulations but the posted warnings do.

The bright green section of the map below (where I live and work!) is under a blizzard watch; the blue is a winter storm watch.


Blizzard Watch for Eastern Essex County (Zone MAZ007)

...A POTENTIAL HISTORIC WINTER STORM AND BLIZZARD IS EXPECTED TO DROP 1 TO 2 FEET OF SNOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...
