UPDATE: Dorchester is in the heart of the predicted path of the season's first major snowstorm -- and the Times is predicting a whopper.
Our staff has looked at more than half a dozen models and we predict at least 8-9" of blowing snow by late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
Strong winds and heavy snowfall may cause significant
travel problems by late this afternoon, according to the National
Weather Service.
A mix of rain and snow
may signal the start of the storm, but it's expected to quickly transition to
snow by late afternoon, around 3 or 4 p.m.
Strong 40-mph wind gusts will create near white-out conditions, according to the weather service.
Motorists are advised to stay off the roads starting around 4 p.m. to allow the county and state road crews time to do their jobs. The photo here was taken around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday near Grand Island by a Dorchester area resident.
Tomorrow morning is forecast to be cold and windy, and snow is expected to continue blowing about.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the blizzard in your little shack in the cowpasture, cynical Richard. As REM Once said, it's the end of the world as we know it.
ReplyDeleteFYI, cats can predict the weather better than any scientific forecast.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 cats manage my stock portfolio and do quite well.
