On Tuesday, light flurries were all that floated around Westminster Street pedestrians in downtown Providence at noontime.
While the National Weather Service, WPRI and Boston.com are saying the forecast isn't yet clear enough to predict the storm's impact, a Boston television station's website is saying Friday's "snow could be the biggest in two years."
CBS Boston says there's the potential for more than a foot of snow in Eastern Massachusetts, while "a large area of at least 6-to-12 inches is possible for almost all of Southern New England including the coastline."
Meanwhile, WPRI is "watching a potentially significant winter storm," saying snow could mix with rain.
The National Weather Service and Boston.com are saying computer models aren't showing enough agreement to forecast yet with confidence.
