as we await what will amount to a significant winter storm in Ski Country. While this is great news for skiers, winter storm driving conditions are anticipated throughout the day there.– the dew point temperature, or measure of the amount of moisture in the air, has dropped near and below zero, indicating exceptionally dry air typical of a mid-winter day.

Of course, wintry air doesn’t stop some of the typical spring seasonal phenomenon that already have begun: pollen count will remain moderate and brush fire danger will be moderate, as well. Sun gives way to increasing late day clouds and after midnight, light snow and rain moves in.falling for much of New England north of the Massachusetts Turnpike, though a change to rain will be quickly progressing north between 7 and 9 a.m.

Power outages also are possible by Saturday afternoon and evening across the heavy snow zones, where snow consistency won’t necessarily be sloppy, but there will be 8-16 inches of it, which will put strain on limbs and power lines.Further south, the 1.5 to 2 inches of rain won’t cause widespread flooding, but certainly will put big puddles on the roads and highways in the latter half of the day, especially, slowing travel for all.
