What is likely to be the biggest storm of the winter is expected to arrive Tuesday morning, slowing roads and creating pockets of damage and outages. The heavy, wet nature of the snow could make cleanup difficult, so plan on a few rounds of shoveling.

This storm is the result of a fast moving clipper system moving through the lower Great Lakes that will interact with a wave of low pressure coming off the coast of North Carolina Monday morning. The two will essentially merge and intensify in a process called"bombogenesis."

Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour at times will create treacherous driving conditions on the roads. Travel is not advised during this timeframe. It will continue to rain through the first part of the overnight, with the rain/snow line positioned in central Massachusetts. The rain/snow line will collapse east Tuesday from late morning to early afternoon, so anticipate a change to snow in the city of Boston either side of noon.It will snow hard between 2 and 10 p.m. Tuesday in most area. Snow fall and snow coverage will gradually taper after that.This is likely to be the biggest storm of the winter.
