Even tho’ the radar appears to show the snow tapering off these blizzard conditions are forecast for this afternoon as the monster low off the coast continues to intensify and move northward. We are still due for some more heavy snow so don’t let down…
And while we’re watching the snow pound down around us today we can look ahead to yet another strong storm on Christmas Day. According to this model (GFS) the low pressure will be much further west than the one today, leaving open the possibility that…
