This is likely to be a memorable blizzard with 18 to 24 inches of snow expected across portions of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine, says Wes Junker, Capital Weather Gangs winter weather expert. Pockets of 30 inches or more are a good bet. The official National Weather Service forecast for Boston calls for 18-24 inches of snow, with snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour and winds gusting as high as 65 mph Friday night and Saturday. Travel may become nearly impossible with blowing and drifting snow, the NWS cautions. AccuWeather paints a rather apocalyptic picture for eastern New England: Strong winds will not only cause white-out conditions and massive drifts, but also coastal flooding and power outages. Gusts can approach hurricane force in coastal areas. If the power goes out, it could take a while for crews to repair the lines. It also highlights the potential for thundersnow. |
