DOWNGRADED: Forecasters Say No Blizzard After All


Dorchester and the surrounding area are once again in a winter weather advisory until Tuesday 3:00 a.m. CST.  (Did we mention we're not even a week into winter?)

But the blizzard that had been predicted won't hit our area -- and for that we are grateful.  Instead of up to 10 inches, forecasters now say 2-4 inches.

Here are the nasty details and radar images for the Dorchester/Lincoln area from the National Weather Service:
