What is a Blizzard Watch?
Marlborough is under a blizzard watch, but what exactly does that mean?
The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Watch for Marlborough, which in short means stay off the roads. A blizzard watch will go into effect beginning Friday and continuing into Saturday. According to the weather service, this means a potential for considerable falling or blowing snow. This will be accompanied by winds of over 35 miles per hour. Visibility will be below 1/4 mile with whiteout conditions at times. All of this means travel will be very dangerous, leading the weather service to advise people be prepared to alter any travel plans.
