The snow on Thursday could bring in several inches of snow, strong winds and possible power outages.
The storm headed our way Wednesday night is now forecasted to drop several inches of snow, a drastic turnaround in a forecast for a storm that that had been predicted to be a “near miss” or rainstorm. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm watch at 3:58 p.m. on Tuesday for portions of the North Shore that runs from Thursday morning through Friday morning, meaning that there is the potential for 6 or more inches of snow in a 12 hour period or 8 or more inches of snow in a 24 hour period. The watch includes much of the North Shore and southern New Hampshire except for Danvers and the immediate coastline. Instead, just a few inches are expected right along the coast. But the winter storm watch is in effect for inland areas …

High tides and northeast wind could cause minor flooding along the water on Friday.
A coastal flood advisory is has been issued on Friday for waterfront properties because of astronomically high tides. “Some minor coastal flooding is possible with the late morning high tide cycle today,” the National Weather Service said when it issued its advisory on Friday morning.

Nonetheless, “locally prone locations may …

Some Danvers boaters took their boat out of the water on Friday, others were waiting for Saturday and other are going to keep their boat in the water.
Some Danvers boaters pulled their boat from the water on Friday, while others were waiting for the weekend or were hoping the sheltered confines on Danvers' rivers will help them weather Hurricane Sandy. Bill Reid of Danvers said he had planned to take the boat out about now, but the approaching storm was added motivation. "The storm is somewhat of a coincidence," he said as he waited to put his 21 foot center console boat on its trailer on Friday at Pope's Landing with his wife Nicole and son Jackson, 9. While the marinas in Danvers are much more protected than other areas along the North Shore coast, Nicole Reid said she was still surprised at how many boats were still in a slip, tied to a float or on a mooring at around dinnertime on …
