Snowstorm 'a 'Comin'


WINTER STORM WARNING for our area, from 7 am Sunday through 7 pm Monday.

Okay, everyone - our upcoming storm is no laughing matter. Forget that lovely, light fluffy stuff that fell two days ago and you cleared away without breaking a sweat. This storm is forecast to feature 10-16 inches of moderate to heavier wetter snow, starting around 10 am on Sunday and continuing, heavy at times, into Monday afternoon. Also expect 15-25 mph winds and significantly reduced visibility at times. Taken together, this will mean isolated power outages due to the weight of the snow on tree limbs and power lines, and some roads will be impassable at times. (Heck, some roads were near-impassable with the fluffy, light stuff.) Travel will be slow at best on well treated surfaces and quite difficult on untreated surfaces. Residents across Southern New England are being advised to only travel in emergencies - if you have to travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your car. Take precautions now, and please stay safe out there!
