Two feet of snow, damaging winds, coastal flooding and extreme snowfall rates are likely from severe Noreaster.
A major winter storm of uncommon intensity is set to wallop parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with blowing and drifting snow, blizzard conditions for some, thundersnow, damaging winds and extreme snowfall rates.
In the hardest-hit areas of eastern New England, upward of two feet of snow is possible, and dozens of flights have been canceled days in advance.
Cities such as Boston and Providence could be in line for a memorable event. A number of school districts are canceling classes preemptively for early next week.
The storm has prompted winter storm warnings from northeastern North Carolina to the Canadian border, with the plastering of snow likely to hamper travel and bring widespread disruption. Blizzard warnings the first to be issued since 2018 cover eastern Massachusetts, coastal Maine and the New Hampshire seacoast. Theyre also up along the shoreline of New Jersey and in parts of the Delmarva Peninsula.'>>>

(14,742 posts)It's hitting on a weekend. I don't have to go anywhere. I have a generator and plenty of wood to burn. Not a place to be.
Winter wonderland is predicted. Hot chocolate is in the forecast.
My sympathies to those that have to work or travel. Be safe. Don't forget to check on neighbors.
