The Storm Approaches 5 - The models shift East

All models except 1 now indicate an eastward track close to the 40 north 70 west benchmark, the NAM model being the lone outlyer brings the center of low pressure over Cape Cod near Hyannis. With this track to the storm, the snow totals go up as cold air will remain longer and the change over will be shorter along the coast. I am currently forecasting 5-10 inches of snow in the Boston area down to about Marshfield with accumulations droping off from there toward the cape which will only get 1-2 inches, the danger here, is the ice. I do not believe that temperatures are going to rise all that much and that the mixture that falls will be sleet and/or freezing rain. Ice build up can cause severe problems in a very short time, especially with the wind and snow that will come along with it. Please stay tuned to your local media stations for further details about this potentially dangerous storm.
