That BOX map is really curious. Basically going against all model guidance for eastern MA. Especially north of the pike. I can’t imagine trying to forecast this storm right now. I’m happy enough not to have any plans tomorrow that hinged on 2 versus 18 inches.
2008 was a disaster here. A week without power. The great generator search (I drove to the Cape to get one at Home Depot). When I built my current house in 2012, a whole house, natural gas, generator was at the top of my list of requirements.
