First it was bitter cold.
Then unrelenting snow.
Followed by a pulverizing ice storm that knocked out power to more than 700,000.
Yesterday morning, following a thaw that melted some of the snow, an overnight refreeze caused nasty conditions on the roads, and contributed to a crash on the Blue Route that shut down the northbound lanes for three hours during the morning rush.
This morning it's fog.
Warm temperatures are making it look like old London town out there.
Might not be a bad idea to leave some extra time for your morning commute.
The good news? We are going to take a run at the 60s this afternoon.
The bad news? It will be accompanied by driving rain and gusty winds. There is a flood watch in effect for the region from 10 a.m. through Friday night.
