Not me. Snow way, snow how. I will not profess my love for snow on any occasion.  Cupid will give us snow and mixed precipitation for Valentine’s Day.  Thanks, but I would be happy with a dozen roses and a nice dinner instead!

Rest assured, Channel 5’s weather team will stay on top of the snowstorm and SmarTraveler will be on hand to provide the latest road conditions. Your best bet tomorrow is to leave early. You will need extra time to shovel the driveway, warm up the car and clear it of snow. Also, visibility and speeds will be reduced on all major and secondary roads. Drive times will be at least double the norm. Consider taking the MBTA as an alternate. This storm will affect both morning and afternoon commutes, so you can take the MBTA in the morning and not have to worry about the afternoon drive home.

With tomorrow’s storm fast approaching, local traffic is busier than usual. It seems everyone is doing errands, stopping at the grocery store, and filling their tank at the gas station. Hardware and home stores are busy with people buying shovels, brooms, ice melt, sand, and ice scrapers.

Speaking of ice scrapers and brooms, please do your fellow commuters a favor and clear snow and ice from the roof of your vehicle. Snow blowing off a roof at highway speeds can temporarily blind other drivers and redeposit snow and ice back on treated roadways. Ice chunks can fly off, crack a windshield and make you generally unpopular with fellow drivers.

Be careful out there tomorrow. Or as we say in the traffic world, “Be car-ful.”
