Snowfall locally on the order of ten to twenty inches is the working projection three days out from a storm that is expected to impact 200 million people from the Southwestern high deserts through middle of the Midwest and then northerly to New England with freeing rain to snow depending on where. 

For example, Eastern Massachusetts expected to be hit with very fluffy snow given temperatures in the low twenties.  While expected to be light and thus easy to clear, any such fluffy snow over a foot of deep is not a day at the beach to clear.

The storm is expected to start early in the day on Sunday, peaking Sunday night and then lingering into much of Monday.  Needless to say, such will only make the start of the week trying at best.

Further, temperatures Monday night after the snowfall abates are expected to drop as low as ten degrees or thereabouts and so hard freezing any snow not cleared from where it needs to be.removed as well as daytime highs running in the twenties and single digits lows over night for the rest of the week along with light snows expected later in the week.

In turn, there is every likelihood that the snowfall will be the most suffered locally in at least several years

Needless to say, locals are out of practice dealing with merely but a middling snowfall.

Even so, grocery stores are already seeing an up tick of people laying in food what with the Universal Hub’s French Toast snow storm alert is at four slices and thus but one short of snowmageddon.

In fact, about the only good news is that high winds are not expected and thus but modest drifting snow.
