Oy. Here we go again.

"THE BULK OF THE PCPN RTE 2 NWD WILL BE SNOW PROBABLY FALLING AT THE RATE OF 2-3" PER HR WITH CSI LIKELY TO BRIEFLY ASSIST THE SNOW RATES. FAIRLY WIDESPREAD THUNDERSNOW ANTICIPATED.

RIGHT NOW WE CAN SEE 8-15" IN 6-12 HRS S NH AND N MA RTE 2 NWD WITH LESSER SOUTH BUT MAYBE NOT BY MUCH. THEN AFTER 06Z IT TRANSITIONS TO ICE AND RAIN (RAIN 195 SEWD)."

I love the NOAA Forecast Discussion page.

Would it be evil to buy a snowblower? No kids in my neighborhood to hire for shoveling help.

It's unlikely that you *can* buy one now -- I expect that the entire stock has been bought.
One of my friends drove from RI to Worcester in order to acquire one...

I can't decipher most of that except that it sounds bad for us.

But that magic word, "thundersnow"...

Such a lovely forecast. Up here they're still being a little more conservative about the forecast, though that could change. Being New England, I'm sure it will.

Thundersnow is something I've experienced before. Most dramatically when I was about eleven, and a house up the street was struck by lightning during a raging blizzard. The snow made it really interesting for the fire department to come put out the fire. Lots of damage to the chimney and attic, but the bulk of the house was okay. And, yes, it was a very exciting afternoon. Even with the wind and heavy snow, most of the street turned out to watch.
