As we posted a few days ago, a significant East Coast storm
appears likely for Wednesday and Thursday this week with gusty winds, rain and inland
mountain snow. Just to be clear, this is NOT a hurricane and not expected to be anywhere near the intensity of Sandy. Although the strongest impact is likely to be felt along the coast, the European computer model (which early on predicted Sandy and Irene accurately) is also forecasting snow on the back end of this week's storm, probably at higher elevations to the west and north of the Pioneer Valley. Of course, small deviations in the storm track can significantly change where the impact is felt, so keep an eye on the weather forecast - and this blog - over the next few days. For coastal areas that are still recovering from Sandy, this is not good news.
Falling temperatures are making life even more miserable for folks still
without power, and no one needs another nor'easter now. The one positive note
here is that Election Day is unlikely to be impacted in Massachusetts. For more
