Just days after Saturday’s blizzard, the Red Bank area could be facing another wintry mess beginning Tuesday night.
The National Weather Service is warning of an “explosively developing” northeaster (or as they call it, a ‘nor-easter,’ as though we all lived in a Pepperidge Farm commercial) that could bring “heavy snow” to the area through Wednesday.
