***The Largest North East Storm Of The Season Poised To Strike Today and Tomorrow****
Heavy snow and extremely low temperatures are coming to the North East today. Areas such as Boston and Long Island along with the Cape in Massachusetts are going to be in the epi-center of the storm. Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of Long Island and the Cape for strong winds with blowing snow later today and tonight. Snow is already falling from moisture coming off the water in Boston and other coastal areas in Massachusetts.
Schools in Boston will be closed tomorrow and a snow emergency is in effect.
The snow is a fluffy powdery snow that does not stick together because of the low temperatures. Remember that the water to temperature ratio increases as the temperature drops. That means that as the temperature drops, the snow depth increases for every inch of precipitable water that falls.
On Sunday. look for another round of bad weather but the temperatures will be warmer then today so it will likely be a rain event.
Please, if you do not have to travel today or tomorrow, stay at home if you live in the affected region. The storm has been named Hercules by The Weather Channel.
