The storm that dropped unexpectedly heavy snow on the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States yesterday is on its way to our area. The storm yesterday made some football games on TV, particularly the Philadelphia-Detroit match-up, look like they were being played in almost blizzard conditions. It also forced the cancellation of more than 2,500 flights up and down the New England states and further south. The storm is bringing some snow, about 4 cm of it, freezing rain and some rain to the South Shore this afternoon and overnight tonight. The good thing is temperatures will rise to almost double digits overnight tonight before falling back to near zero in the morning.
