Yikes! According to the Inquirer & Mirror, snow is on its way to Nantucket. This photo is from last year's wintery weather near Brant Point lighthouse. From the I & M:
The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard watch for Cape Cod and the Islands this weekend, predicting up to 12 inches of snow and 50 mph winds for the region.
According to an "urgent winter weather message" from the NWS, low pressure will strengthen as it tracks up the eastern seaboard Saturday and should pass southeast of Nantucket Sunday morning.
"This could become a major winter storm for southern New England bringing the potential for blizzard conditions to the south coast, Cape Cod and the Islands, the NWS stated in its release. "Snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour are expected to create whiteout conditions at times."

I can't remember the last time it snowed on Nantucket. I think it was around 6 years ago.
Check out my blog last year on January 20 and 28 (when we had a snowed-in house guest) and December 31 for last year's snowfalls. Nothing like the current forecast, however.
