Blizzard, winter storm warnings issued in Massachusetts ahead of nor’easter
Key Points:
- Blizzard and winter storm warnings are in effect in Massachusetts from Sunday evening through Tuesday morning due to a nor’easter expected to bring heavy snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding risks.
- Up to two feet of snow and wind gusts reaching 60 mph are forecasted in several counties, with visibility potentially dropping below 1/4 mile, creating whiteout conditions and dangerous travel.
- The storm will primarily impact Monday, with heavy, wet snow expected, and significant snowfall totals ranging from 12 to 24 inches depending on the region, including Boston and surrounding areas.
- Travel is strongly discouraged during the storm as hazardous conditions could make driving very difficult or impossible, and strong winds may cause tree damage and power outages.
