Thank you for bringing this to the spotlight now that our present storm is done with. I won't elaborate on the Friday storm since you summed up my thoughts exactly.

One thing worth repeating from my posting in the previous storm thread is that if you or anyone you know has plans in the mountains or backcountry this coming weekend, you NEED to keep checking forecasts. Extreme cold is likely. My early guess is for the higher summits in the clouds with temps well below zero even during the day... and strong winds making wind chills even colder. As if cold and wind were not enough by themselves, a heavy snowfall and/or variety of frozen precipitation on Friday may create a high avalanche danger in the usual places. *Keep checking later forecasts*

On a lighter note, the football pundits on TV have already mentioned the fact that San Diego is not accustomed to the temperatures they'll likely have at Foxborough this weekend.
