National Weather Service and other meteorologists are growing more confident that a major winter storm will impact New England (and other parts of the Northeast) Friday into Saturday. The storm system is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy snow to the region (especially Eastern New England), and a Blizzard Watch has been issued for central and eastern Connecticut, most of south central and eastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Snow accumulations are forecast to be in the one- to two-foot range in this area.
The timing of this storm comes shortly after the 35th anniversary of the historic Blizzard of 1978 (5- 7 February), which brought record snowfalls to Boston, Providence, and other locations in the region. The National Weather Service has produced a report that contains pictures and other reports related to this blizzard. To access a copy of this booklet, please visit:
