Nor'easter Fury: Massachusetts Braces for Massive Snowstorm and Devastating Winds
Get Ready Massachusetts, Old Man Winter is Not Done Yet: Nor’easter to Bring 12-Plus Inches of Heavy Snow and Damaging Winds
Just when you thought it was safe to put away your shovels and winter gear, Mother Nature has other plans. The final week of winter is set to go out with a bang as a powerful nor’easter is expected to bring heavy snow and damaging winds to Massachusetts.
According to AccuWeather meteorologist Jake Sojda, this is shaping up to be a "pretty impressive snowstorm" that could dump more than 12 inches of heavy, wet snow in certain areas of the Bay State. While Boston's Logan Airport may only see 4 inches, neighborhoods in the western part of the city could see more than 8 inches.
The storm is expected to hit on Monday night, starting off as rain before turning into heavy snow on Tuesday. Travel is expected to be extremely difficult, and power outages are a concern as winds up to 60 mph could down trees and power lines.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the high terrain of western and central Massachusetts, and a Winter Storm Watch for much of the state. Residents are being advised to stay home if possible on Tuesday, with National Weather Service meteorologist Alan Dunham saying "If you don’t have to go out Tuesday, that would be a good day to work from home."
Utility companies are also preparing for the worst, with Eversource bringing in extra out-of-state crews to assist with restoring power to customers, if needed.
So, get ready Massachusetts, it looks like Old Man Winter is not quite done with us yet. Make sure you have plenty of supplies, charge your devices, and stay safe during this whopper of a storm.
Thank you so much for watching
