Yesterday was a very nice day here with warm temps and lots of sun.The evening was seasonable and clear...hard to believe that there was a storm on the way.
We are still under a winter storm advisory for today and schools are closed already.There isn't any precip here yet but the wind is increasing considerably.The local radio is reporting that the snow has started falling in the western counties.The wind is SE so we will probably get more rain than snow on the coast.
Regardless,it looks like we will be having a messy day here on the south shore.
