New Englanders are bracing for high winds, treacherous roads and power outages. Southern New England and the coastline will get mostly rain, and maybe a few inches of snow.
Mother Nature is not fooling around this time. An April nor'easter headed for New England could dump more than a foot of snow in many areas, and could leave many in the region without power for days.
The powerful storm, moving up the coast Wednesday, is expected to bring heavy rain and high wind gusts to Boston, where. But the more significant impact is expected in New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine, where wide swaths of the region could end up with 18-24 inches, according to National Weather Service meteorologist John Palmer.Especially for April."It's definitely uncommon to see these types of storms," says Palmer.
In New Hampshire, utility officials say hundreds of extra crews are standing by to restore power, as needed. This nor'easter comes on the heals of an ice storm last week and also a wind storm over the weekend,"With the trees weakened from last week, they're more susceptible to come down and cause damage to the electric system, resulting in outages, says William Hinkle, a spokesperson for Eversource, which serves New Hampshire and parts of Massachusetts.
