Yes it’s still coming, despite some of you hearing over-reacting media saying one thing then another then back and forth again like a bungee cord holding a rock spray painted with the word “hype”. I hate to bust on the media but it just gets frustrating sometimes. Oh well. Enough rant and now onto the weather… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It looks like the developing storm will be a little weaker than previously expected, but still fully capable of throwing a moderate amount of precipitation across the forecast area, with a large area of it seeing several inches of heavy, wet snow, especially Saturday night and Sunday. This will still potentially impact the region with busted tree limbs and power lines, and will also be tough to move around (at least it’s not a foot plus of the heavy stuff). Areas most likely to be snow longest and see most of the accumulation will be away from the immediate coast and along and north of the Mass Pike. The overall idea of the storm and timing are still there, just to a little lesser degree than described in the last blog entry. Though minor coastal flooding issues may take places on east-facing shores Saturday night and north-facing shores Sunday morning, I’m not expecting anything too significant.<\/p>\n
Still looks like a break early in the week between the weekend event and what may be a long-duration winter weather event as we head toward the beginning of March. I’ll discuss this a little more over the weekend.<\/p>\n
