A lengthy Nor'easter takes December in like a lion.
The fun should start about mid afternoon as snow. The Cape and the immediate coastlines of the South Shore and South Coast should change to rain rather quickly. This will wash away the snow.
Where it doesn't turn to rain, and this is the tricky part of the forecast, accumulation will be impressive.
New Bedford might have no snow at all by Monday, while Taunton may have 4 inches.
The rainy areas may get into the snow as the storm pulls away. We call this "aftersnow," although real meteorologists probably use a different term.
Power outages are a threat, as winds will be strong enough to down tree limbs.
Coastal flooding will be a concern, as we should have a long period of ENE winds. Tides are astronomically low, which will be a saving grace.
