Meteorologists are predicting a significant snowstorm, dubbed a 'bomb blizzard,' to hit New England next week, with forecasts ranging from 1-2 feet of snow. The storm is expected to be fueled by a piece of the polar vortex, reminiscent of a historic 1975 storm. Models show a powerful upper low forming in the Gulf of Maine, leading to unusually strong April snowfall. Boston may also see heavy snow, while Maine is likely to receive substantial accumulation.

The dynamical global models are now pretty consistent in depicting an unusually strong, and thus exceptionally rare, April snowstorm in New England next week. Most of the ECM/GFS/GEM deterministic and ensemble members have a powerful closed upper low in the Gulf of Maine by next… https://t.co/9cEoIVfoA2
