I remember one Christmas when it was 70 degrees out and everyone was driving around with their windows open. So, we shall see what mother nature has in store for us this winter here in the commonwealth of Massachusetts. We have to expect the unexpected each year.

"Just want to give you the heads up-long ways off so it will likely be changing.
Right now wet snow/mixed precipitation is likely Friday night in to Saturday.
This could be a more significant storm.
Way too early to even think about putting numbers on this." - Steve Caporizzo
