Ice Bowl II?
Are you ready for Ice Bowl II?
The Merrimack Valley appears to be in the path of another ice storm on Tuesday night and Wednesday. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning starting at 3 a.m. Wednesday.
Here's what forecasters are saying:
National Weather Service: Sleet ... rain and freezing rain in the morning...then rain with a chance of sleet in the afternoon. Total sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Highs in the upper 30s. Northeast winds around 10 mph.
The NECN Meteorology Team: Wednesday...Early snow, heavy at times, changing to rain at the coast, sleet and freezing rain inland south and central, continuing as snow with some sleet north. Highs in the 30s to near 40 south (40s on Cape Cod), near 32 central, 20s north. Northeast wind for most at 5-15 mph, east wind near the coast at 15-30 mph with higher gusts, and a southeast wind becoming southwest at the South Coast.
Let's hope the power stays on this time.
