There are always at least a few flakes anywhere in the NYC vicinity! Doesn't matter what season. This time we might actually have some snow to go with our flakes!

watch metars from kack and kpvc tommorow(sunday) morning.

these locations southeast of boston will get the worst winds and heaviest precip, although they could switch over to rain at points.

I expect the major airports in the boston and NY area will close, especially logan- all day on sunday.

Light Snow (has been doing this all day)
1-2 inches on the ground

(still hoping for 5-10 tonight... I don't know how that will verify)

Here on Cape Cod no one seems to be doing any unusual shopping or preparing... not in our part of the Cape, at least. Oh well...

As the preparedness nuts of our neighborhood, we do have our supplies, etc. and our emergency light/heat is in place, and snowblower and generator getting a dry run as I type. Cars have gasoline, etc. Food cooking, laundry being done (should be finished before storm arrives). So yeah, we are buttoning up for the storm. We own the only snow blower in our neighborhood... and are probably among the few young enough to shovel snow, etc.

I'm working well off Cape next week (Worcester area) but I may have an excuse to take a day off Monday if the roads here on the Cape aren't clear. We shall see.

Hi Patty G! You're almost a neighbor... And Hi WXWatcher91 up in Keene... I was up near you last week to see my daughter and was suprised at how little snow was around... Maybe you guys will get some of this storm...

[pgoss11]

Hi Persepone,
Sounds like you're well prepared for the storm. Nothing left to do, but wait for the flakes to fly. Enjoy the storm and stay safe!!
