Snow update
As I look at the totals across the area I see that this storm will hit the record books.
But here in Yarmouth I have only seen 2-3″ and the storm is winding down so I will adjust my total forecast to 3-6″
Wind forecasts have gone down to sustained winds at 30mph and gusts up to 50 mph.

Last update for the night
