CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - Forecasters said the storm could top Boston's record of 27.6 inches, set in 2003.

A * WINTER STORM WARNING* will be in effect until 1 PM Saturday.

Gov. Deval Patrick told nonessential state workers to stay home Friday and ordered all non-emergency vehicles off the road by 4 p.m. The heavy, drifting snow was predicted to leave little or no visibility, making traffic extremely difficult and in many cases, impossible.

Power failures were also expected, and a flood warning was to take effect at 8 p.m. Friday until noon Saturday for the state's eastern coastline.

Most airlines planned to cease operations between noon and 4 p.m. Friday at Logan Airport in Boston. Flights were expected to restart Saturday afternoon.
