The Second Blizzard of 2015

[edschweppe]

Well, the National Weather Service has yet to officially declare this storm a blizzard. Still, it's certainly snowing to beat the band out my hotel window, and it sure looks like the visibility is less than a quarter-mile, so I suspect it's just a matter of time. According to the news, February 2015 is now the snowiest month in Boston history - and there are still two weeks in the month!

Reading the long-term portion of the current NWS area forecast discussion, even the weather professionals are getting a bit punchy:

 - POTENTIAL MIDWEEK STORM SYSTEM MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW
 - CONTINUED BITTERLY COLD
 - NO BREAK IN THE WEATHER PATTERN
 - NEXT CHANCE OF WARMTH: SOMETIME SPRING INTO SUMMER

OTOH, I don't have to go anywhere today. And my car's in a hotel garage, so I won't even have to dig it out tomorrow morning!
