A trailing dip in the jet stream on its heels may spark another storm in the Gulf of Maine and eastward, with showers possible across New England again Thursday and a reinforcement of chilly air across the region…
Note….
Is Trump’s OMB guy Vought gonna lay off FEMA people with a Big Assed Storm brewing?
