Okay...Perhaps a Bit More Than a Nuisance Snow!

How quickly things change. What looked like no more than a nuisance snow a few hours ago has now morphed into a winter storm watch.

Just released by NWS-Taunton:

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
407 PM EST MON FEB 2 2009

... A PLOWABLE SNOW FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT MAY ADD UP TO NEARLY 8 INCHES IN PARTS OF SOUTHEAST NEW ENGLAND...

.THE COMBINATION OF LOW PRESSURE PASSING ABOUT 200 MILES EAST OF NANTUCKET AND A STRENGTHENING JET STREAM PATTERN OVER THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES MAY RESULT SNOWFALL IN EXCESS OF HALF A FOOT AND DRIFTS TO 2 FEET OVER PARTS OF COASTAL SOUTHEAST MASSACHUSETTS AND CAPE COD.
Here is their first crack at forecast snow amounts:


And to think, it reached the low 50's in many areas around here today. What's that ole New England saying..."If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute." So true.

This Sunday is looking promising! Maybe you will get an outside ride!

Yes it is...and I would if it wasn't the case that we'll be at my SIL's house in NJ this weekend and driving home on Sunday. Oh well.

Oh, too bad! Don't worry though, it will probably be very slushy and wet from all the melting.
