CBS News • • general
Key Points:
- A major nor'easter is expected to bring blizzard conditions to Boston and eastern Massachusetts starting Sunday night through Monday, with heavy, wet snow and powerful winds gusting up to 70+ mph along the southeast coastline.
- The storm will undergo rapid intensification ("bombogenesis") as it moves north-northeast from off the North Carolina coast, with the center likely passing near the benchmark 40N/70W, ideal for a classic New England nor'easter.
- Snowfall totals are forecasted at 10-16 inches along and east of I-95, including Boston, Cape Cod, and the Islands, with potential localized totals exceeding 16 inches in Plymouth and Bristol counties; western areas can expect 6-10 inches
