Snowpocalypse Round Two? ...Probably Not

If you thought last year’s whopping 108 inches of snow was bad, then you might not want to check your weather app this weekend. Just as students arrive back on campus for the new semester (can we really call it the Spring semester if it doesn’t break 60 degrees until the last week?), it seems that Harvard is forced to prepare itself for another wintery assault...maybe.

Major media outlets and concerned moms on Facebook seem to be “Burnin’ Up” about Winter Storm Jonas, the meteorological monster that is tearing through the East Coast, leaving chaos and destruction in its wake. Except that, according to The Weather Channel, no more than twelve to twenty inches of snow are expected in any area. Plus, Boston’s weather icon doesn’t even have a snowflake.

So if you’re returning to school from the mid-Atlantic region or even some areas further south, yes, you may have something to worry about. But don’t expect a snow day to start off your shopping week. We here in Boston have dealt with a lot worse.

So, if you’re stuck in an airport and have to ride the storm out? Make sure you’ve stocked up on movies in your Netflix queue. It’s the last time you’re going to be able to enjoy them guilt-free for a while.

In the meantime, those of us back in Cambridge can sleep easy with the knowledge that even if Winter Storm Jonas does come our way, at least C’est Bon will stay open to comfort us.
