Major Storm Buzz

The first major storm of 2019 may be just around the corner.

You're going to begin to hear a ton of buzz about a major winter storm for the upcoming weekend very soon, if you haven't already heard about it. (If you're up-to-date on our Instagram, then you know that the internet weather websites are already predicting big snow for next weekend.)

We were in the same position last weekend, and obviously a major winter storm did not pan out for New England today. But there was a major winter storm for the Midwest and mid-Atlantic states (on-going), so at least the models were right on some level.

We love the early runs of the models because they are absolutely all over the place. One map has us getting 33 inches of snow. One shows 17 inches (see below). Another shows an all rain scenario.

Because the storm is six days away, we're not committing to any prediction at the moment--especially because it doesn't involve a snow day--but you should be attuned to the possibility of a major winter event starting next Saturday. And you should definitely be skeptical as well. Even though this next storm seems to have a lot more going for it in terms of its intensity, we haven't really been blessed this winter (like we were last March) so that run of bad luck could certainly continue.

Regardless of how it turns out, at this early juncture you are up to speed on this developing weather situation. And if it does snow, it will be a Saturday/Sunday event.
