“Our computer models are in great agreement that we have a major winter storm and possible blizzard heading toward New England Monday night and Tuesday. While we can’t rule out a change that would mean a more limited impact right now this is looking big. We’ll be able to throw out some numbers and specific timing tomorrow.”
