The town of Scituate, Massachusetts, is expecting more than just winter weather. In fact, the town’s forecast verges on the apocalyptic.

The seaside town of about 18,000, less than 30 miles southeast of Boston, is expecting a blizzard, which could bring more than a foot of snow—and a 12-inch high tide—and a storm surge, causing flooding—and 60 mph winds—and probable power outages.
