Snowstorm this weekend? Don't change your plans just yet...

Yes, there's buzz all around about the potential for a snowstorm this weekend, but absolutely don't change your plans just yet. Computer models are all over the place on this one. The storm is a coastal one, which means it's all about the storm track. (Note to self: write spoof lyrics to "It's all about the bass.") Storm tracks slightly to the east and it decisively misses us. To the west, and we get something. But what? At this moment (and things could change, mind you) computer models are showing rain on the coast, with the risk of a narrow band of heavy, wet snow, most likely near and northwest of I-95 into the Worcester Hills and Eastern Connecticut. As for Western MA, the precipitation looks like it might drop off considerably (if not entirely) - in other words, we could very well get nothing at all.

Like I said, things could change if the storm track changes, but even if it were to come our way, this wouldn't be the fluffy snow of your dreams. I, for one, will do fine without heavy wet snow followed by zero-degree temps early next week. Really, it's enough of a skating rink around here already.
