Randy and im randy price. Were tracking every angle of the storm. Were out there this morning as things start to happen. Our reporters, videographers, and meterologists are covering every angle. First to the timing of things cindy is leading our coverage. Cindy good morning to you both. We have not just snow with this particular storm but also very strong winds prompting coastal flooding concerns and also power outage concerns. So a lot to watch with this system. Already the winds are gusting over 40 Miles Per Hour along the coastline. It is those strong winds combined with the heavy, wet snow that has prompted blizzard warnings until 7 00 tonight south of boston. Elsewhere, winter storm warnings for the heavy snow and also winds sustained close to 30 Miles Per Hour. The storm is still very far away from us. In fact about 500 miles away. Typically a storm would not be impacting us. This one very large. You can see already the outer bands of snow all the way up to the Cape Cod Canal and
Visibilities are down in many cases to half to three quarters of a mile. Thats down to middle burrow. A lot of the cape is much lighter than before. We are noticing a pretty steady band up around, well down toward the elbow near nantucket. Most of us it will be a slow, steady accumulation except on the north shore and south shore. This goes on through 5 00, 7 is 00 9 00, 11 00. Finally we will see abatement from south to north. Even early tomorrow morning if you are around cape anne or the south shore of Plymouth County you still may be having some snow falling. By that time our expectation is that we are going to have about five to nine inches of snow in boston and eight to 10 around cape anne and eight to how about how much has fallen so far. Mike has been looking at that. Lets show you what we have. Lets show you what is happening here. Not much snow. Littleton picking up three and a half inches. Peabody has two inches. Thats the report, but in salem we had a report of 4. 2 inches.
