right here as you look close the aprotecting no. this is a narrow window of opportunity if you will to pick up accumulating snow. this is not going to be a big amazing considering the fact that we had the arctic air and the record cold and weekend but if there is nothing to lock down that arctic air then the storm just comes along and flicks the cold air out of the way. now this moving process is going to result in a mess for a few hours. so we have the snow coming at us mid evening. there is the rain snow line again nothing to slow it down as it moves through the merrimac valley. the only concern will be from midnight to 7:00 or 8:00 tomorrow morning. temperatures near the ground of very cold. even the ground itself will be cold so dislodging that cold arctic air off the surface of the earth, that's a slower process than at 5,000 feet. that's why we see the snow easily go over to sleet then sleet to freezing rain but going from freezing rain to rain the last step in this winter hodgepodge of weather that takes the longest especially away from
