After looking at bare ground for the vast majority of the winter, spending numerous days in the 50s and 60s and totaling one of the top 10 least snowy winters to date, I guess you could say we are due. This wouldn't be the first time Mother Nature has come to collect payment in the month of March.
I don't know about you, but I was actually starting to think I may go the whole winter without starting my snowblower! Silly me. Gas 'em up, it looks like we have an actual snowstorm on the way.

We have a certain "protocol" that we follow in the WBZ-TV weather office. Typically, we post our first forecasted snow map about 48 hours prior to the event. There is a reason for this. Around this time, we have not only seen several consecutive runs of the global weather models, but we are also getting a glimpse at the higher resolution models. Sure, you can go on Twitter and likely find all sorts of direct model output as early as a week in advance. This should not be taken seriously. The atmosphere is insanely complex and even the best computer models, doing trillions of calculations, cannot account for all the chaos that is going on in every square inch.
