Yes, although the weather is capricious. We could end up with a dusting. :)

Still, all the weather models seem to be focusing on a record-breaking snowfall, perhaps even surpassing the blizzard of '78. Although the "official" records (which usually reflect snowfall levels in Boston) claim a 1978 snowfall of about 27 inches, in some areas the level was much higher, which is why many/most of us use the '78 storm as a benchmark.

I'm glad that you're not getting the high winds. They concern me more than the snow.

We took a lot of photos of '78's snow because it was so incredible and people's stories are legendary.

I swear it was deeper than 27". My front steps are four feet off the ground and we had to dig our way out of snow that came 1/3 a way up the door. Needless to say, snow got into the house with that dig.

They were saying 50mph gusts. With heavy snow that would have been extremely dangerous. I have 2 trees close to the house. The closest one is questionable.
