According to the National Weather Service, the storm will be departing quicker than expected, resulting in significantly less snowfall than some forecasters predicted.

"The science of forecasting storms, while continually improving, still can be subject to error, especially if we're on the edge of the heavy precipitation shield. Efforts, including research, are already underway to more easily communicate that forecast uncertainty," the National Weather Service wrote.

A look at the flooding in Marshfield, Massachusetts. Robin Dunn said she walked to her friends’ homes to see if they were damage. She reported everything was in fair condition “for the most part” and that they just lost power.
