So Maybe This Storm Didn't Miss Us Completely
Read it and weep. Or in my case rejoice. There was no lie about how big this storm was and it is showing us that strength in the form of some really heavy snow bands that have been rotating in off the ocean, specifically over Cape Cod. Down there, expect over a foot of snow with some strong wind gusts.
So what went wrong? That's what I have heard all day and will probably hear tomorrow. There really isn't a straight answer to that. This storm was huge. And it also stalled out. Both of those things were predicted. What wasn't predicted was just how heavy those snow bands became throughout the day today. This one missed us by over 300 miles and still dropped a foot of snow over some parts. That is one strong monster. Just think if it was a direct hit.
We may not be out of the woods just yet. Tuesday and Wednesday look unsettled as more snow showers are likely. From the same storm!
