Nor'Easter To Be A '3 Commute Nightmare'
So it looks like a 3-commute nightmare - beginning during the Thursday morning commute, peaking during the Thursday evening commute and ending just before the Friday morning drive.

If the snow does arrive mid-morning on Thursday as we expect, this could be a situation where schools are forced to let out early in the middle of some very heavy snow.
It is much too early to project where this rain-snow line will setup and who will stay all snow, but, those areas that do not mix with rain could easily see 6-to-12 inches of snow or more.
Most areas will get 8-to-12 inches of snow Wednesday and several towns will be reporting 9, 10 and 11-inch amounts.
It will encompass all of New England, dump significant amounts of heavy, wet snow and impact both the morning and evening commutes.
Here are the details about three storms that could hit the region this week:
Location is everything…If you happen to reside about 5-10 miles south of Boston, you are looking at a winter wonderland with between 10-15" of new snow. On the flip side, just 5-10 miles north of Boston and you can clean your driveway with a broom, only a dusting to a few inches.
As we get deeper into this nor'easter, we are now adjusting the forecast a bit in some areas.
Our latest batch of cold arrived on schedule this morning and the snow is right on its heels.
The snow will begin as early as 1 p.m. on Tuesday. The first to see flakes would be areas well to the south, along the South Coast, Cape Cod and the Islands.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Eastern Massachusetts from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday afternoon.
We have some snowfall on the way Saturday. This represents a bit of a change to the forecast from recent days.
You've probably heard by now, some of the coldest air in many years is currently pouring down from Northern Canada into the Midwest.
Boston received 15.1" of snow over the span of Thursday and Friday just beating out the old #5 storm.
It is extremely cold out, wind chills are dangerously low. The kids may want to wait a day or two to hit the hills with their sleds or build the snowman.
This is one of the coldest snowstorms in recent memory. Boston, Worcester and all points north and west are stuck in the single digits and dropping!
Nor'easter 2014 has arrived. It may take a while to get revved up but once we get there it is going to pack a significant punch.
This will be a long duration event with nearly 36 hours of light to moderate snowfall.
Our first true Nor'easter of the season appears to be on its way for later this week, but some good news as it appears we may skip a worst-case scenario.
I would urge you pay a little extra attention to the forecast over the next 48 hours and be prepared for a rude welcome back to work and school from Mother Nature.
It will be a "Nor'easter type storm" that will bring about an inch of rain to southern New England.
Expect a very slow and dangerous evening drive for almost all of southern New England this evening.
This next round of snow most certainly is going to slow the evening commute on Tuesday and require additional plowing and shoveling.
Here is an updated timeline and snow total prediction for this weekend's storm.
