New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Nature has really spoiled us with a mild fall and an uncommonly warm Christmas week. However, this weekend she wants to remind us that it is winter.
The Greater New Bedford area will be impacted by a nasty little storm bringing with it a messy, hazardous commute, plenty of snow, and dangerous ice.
Snow for greater New Bedford will arrive Saturday night around 10:00 pm. Initially snow will fall heavily in very short period of time, between 2-3″ in a short window. The next few hours will not be as dramatic in terms of accumulation but by morning we may recive an an additional 1-2″ resulting in a possible total of 4-5″.
The hazard comes into play in these morning hours because the precipitation will may turn into a mix of freezing rain. A degree or two one way and that rain sticking to power lines and trees turns into ice and the weight may caused the downed line and loss of power.
That means when you wake up on Sunday morning you will have shovable snow and a miserable commute. Stay warm and cozy inside and Netflix an Ovaltine anyone?
