A storm spreading locally heavy rain into the Northeast will meet colder air and allow for a treacherous wintry mix and snow to fall over portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will fall overnight into Monday morning.
The heaviest snow will thump over a small swathe from the Berkshire Mountains in northwestern Connecticut to southern New Hampshire and southeastern Maine. Six to twelve inches will fall in this corridor. Portland and Portsmouth are among the cities and towns that will be digging out from this much snow.
Lesser snowfall will reach southward into greater Boston through Springfield, Mass., and westward to the borders region of northern Pennsylvania and western New York state.
More mixing will keep amounts down across areas from the central Appalachians in West Virginia and central and northern Pennsylvania.
Motorists headed northward out of the big Eastern cities, especially bound for northern New England, will meet with snowcovered, hazardous roads and highways tonight into Monday.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Central MA is more conservative than the rest of the state, so snow or no snow, Obamao or no Obamao, Brown likely would have taken the general area.
It's inside Rt.128, the greater Boston area, as well as the cities of Lowell, Lawrence, and Haverhill to the north, and the cities of Brockton, Fall River, and New Bedford to the south that Brown needs to carry.
There, Brown needs an all-out assault on scullery maid, Coakley, and it's looking very likely that that's going to happen since the anger in this state over the status quo is very palpable. I have never seen anything like it in the 40 years of 'pahking' my arse here.
“roads should be cleared by Tuesday”
You won’t hear that from the MSM if Coakley loses. They’ll attribute it to low turnout due to bad weather.
More like a "Broken Glass Constitutionalist" I be.
The perfect GOD inspired perfect storm!
HELP SCOTT DEFEAT THE OBAMA SOCK PUPPET!!

•People in ANY state can volunteer for the phone bank! http://www.resistnet.com/forum/topics/phone-calls-for-freedom-call-1?commentId=2600775%3AComment%3A1891491&xg_source=activity
•Anyone… Anywhere… Contribute! https://www.icontribute.us/scottbrown
•Live in or near MA? Volunteers still needed at many regional offices. If you can help, please email Laura@brownforussenate.com and she will tell you how.
•If you live in Massachusetts, become an election judge. In Boston they pay $135-$185 and they NEED Republican monitors.
Needed; military and retired law enforcement VFW and police organizations etc to monitor polls- prevent the voter fraud they’re plotting right now. Video tape everything; document everything; prosecute the perpetrators. http://www.cityofboston.gov/news/default.aspx?id=3599
.
Brown also needs the older citizens to be able to get to the polls to defeat the health care bill that will so affect them in a negative way.
Particularly if weather.com is right and it is followed by rain and snow on Tuesday: http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/02116?from=today_topnav_Pets
Don’t you know we Republiucans are the cause of global warming with our SUV’s and 4x4 pick ups. We’ll just blast through the snow. Really in Massachusetts 5 to 9 inches is a nothing storm.
It means we might have to wear jackets and hats.
Ha! I can tell you’re a real New Englander! Three feet of snow wouldn’t stop us. We’ve experienced worse.
If it turns out to be a real weather situation by Monday in Mass, it will affect the already marginal enthusiasm among those that would have or might have voted for Coakley.
These people are not terribly motivated to begin with: a foot of snow would only leave one option for the Coakley campaign: bring the polling places to THEM. You’d need a little more passion than they could muster to go out in really bad weather.
I would think the Brown voters have jobs, snow tires and a lot more at stake. They’ll show one way or another.
After Tuesday they’ll be called “broken sheets of ice Republicans”.
This is a little concerning. The few conservatives out here are in the rural areas near the central/western parts. Those areas are going to get hit hard from what I hear. I hope people don’t see the polls and relax or think that it is not worth the trip in the snowy mountain roads out here. Some of the roads are very hard to travel on in the winter unless you have good snow tires.
“As a resident of the snowiest part of MA, north central right along the MA/NH border, I can tell you it won’t mean a thing.”
Yeah! You guys are used to this in the winter.
