Next, slop


LIGHT SNOW WILL BEGIN TO OVERSPREAD MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHWARD UP THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. THE SNOW WILL GRADUALLY MIX WITH SOME SLEET AND LIGHT FREEZING RAIN WEDNESDAY MORNING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH.

For the last few days I've been looking with wonder at the photos of the recent New England ice storm. Nestled here in the river valley, we saw none of it. But elsewhere in the state, and further north, it was brutal - roads closed, trees down, utility poles snapped, families without power indefinitely.


Next up, a New England slop storm. We might get lucky again, but time is clearly running out.


Oh well. For the people who are into grayish-glop Christmases, this might be just the thing.
