"Still ahead of the incoming snow"

Matt Noyes (THE NECN meterologist to follow) waxes eloquent on tonight's impending storm: "Earlier today, I posted a picture of the afternoon clouds and mentioned a sky like today's told the story - cirrus clouds composed of ice crystals portend snow, in a textbook example of storm advancement, and harkening back to the clues of nature our agricultural ancestors in New England were so aware of. Those classic clues continue tonight - a nearly calm wind and slowly increasing and lowering clouds are truly reminiscent of bucolic New England snowstorms. Chimney smoke will hang and linger, and the midnight will be still ahead of the incoming snow. Similarly, where no change to sleet, Wednesday's storm will bring idyllic New England snow, clinging to everything in a blanket of white...a terrific sight to behold if you don't have to travel through it."

Here's hoping you don't have to go anywhere tomorrow - our latest warning from NOAA adds a suggestion that everyone complete any traveling they need to do early tonight. Stay safe everyone - and enjoy tomorrow's snow if at all possible.
