Hi all! I will now commence posting new blog entries every few to several hours through the storm with the latest info here. I will also be updating the Facebook page for those who have access to that.<\/p>\n
Many of the updates will just have forecast information or short summaries of what is going on. If I have time, I’ll throw together a full discussion which includes the storm threat for later this week. For now, it’s important that we focus on this one.<\/p>\n
As far as the actual weather discussion goes, there are not a whole lot of changes, only a few minor tweaks that for now allow me to just post a forecast.<\/p>\n
TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION FOR STORM: 20 TO 30 INCHES WITH HEAVIER POCKETS OF SNOW. LESS THAN 20 INCHES WESTERN PART OF CAPE COD, AND LESS THAN 10 INCHES EASTERN PART OF CAPE COD AS WELL AS THE ISLANDS.<\/p>\n
