Patrick Declares State Of Emergency, Announces Travel Ban In Mass. [ link to boston.cbslocal.com] BOSTON (CBS) – Gov. Deval Patrick declared a state of emergency in Massachusetts Friday afternoon for the blizzard that could bring up to 3 feet of snow. He also announced he has signed an executive order to ban all travel on all roads in the state starting at 4 p.m. Friday. he governor said rapid snowfall of 2-3 inches per hour will make for, “extremely dangerous conditions,” and will “make safe travel nearly impossible.” This is the first time that a Massachusetts governor has issued an executive order like this since the Blizzard of 1978.Snowstorm Friday Has Potential To Be Historic [ link to boston.cbslocal.com] Only six times in Boston’s weather history (more than 100 years) has more than 20 inches fallen in one storm. You truly need the atmosphere to set up just right for a blockbuster snow event. First we have an ample supply of cold air pouring out of Canada. Low temperatures Wednesday night will be in the single digits in many of the suburbs and highs on Thursday will only reach the mid 20′s.
Next, we have a very “juicy” storm coming from the Deep South, out of the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of moisture to work with.
And like so many other storms preceding it, as it reaches the warm current of the Gulf Stream of the Mid-Atlantic it will “bomb out” and become a very powerful nor’easter.
Finally, there is always a concern along the coastline for a mix or change to rain due to the relatively mild Atlantic Ocean.
