Today's Weather: Tuesday's Gone

By Chuck Sudo in News on Feb 1, 2011 11:19AM

Did everybody get a chance to bum rush the supermarkets last night and stock up on things before the blizzard warning kicks in at 3 p.m.? Good. Because now the waiting begins. Every meteorologist in town is predicting anywhere from 18-24 inches of snow between Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons (we'll have more on the freakout in a bit). And that's just when the blizzard warning kicks in.

Prior to 3 p.m. it's going to be overcast with light snow and the Hawk wind whipping from the northeast at 14-28 MPH. The high temperature will be 24.
