One of the real fears as we head into this evening the winds up to 75 miles an hour and the power now a real concern.

Meteorologist Rob Marciano in Boston tonight, where authorities are urging everyone to take these blizzard warnings seriously.

Tonight.

Blizzard warnings posted from New Jersey to main most of those governor's sending dire warnings.

Extreme snowfall, hurricane force winds.

It should not be taken lightly.

Travel ban for the entire state.

Please remain home and remain off the roads.

School's cancelled state officials shutting down roads tonight for everyone except emergency vehicles.

Salt trucks along the East Coast out the storm expected to dump up the 30 inches in some areas with winds gusting to 75 miles per hour.

At this New Jersey command center.

80 eastbound 32.5.

Silver Toyota stuff 3700 trucks ready to roll way are the first responders.

If we don't have the roadway systems clear than fire trucks, police trucks, ambulances cannot get through.

That sentiment echoed on the ground here in Boston, where I rode along with plow truck driver Danny Lee.

The biggest problem you have on a night like tonight is what traffic traffic cop cars on the road when they when they shouldn't be.

Salt helps to, and Boston has 35,000 tons of it shipped in by the container full.

Just how ready is Boston?

Boston is prepared, the coast bracing for winds of hurricane force and residents.

Nearly 12,000 people are injured and 100 people die from medical emergencies related to shoveling snow every year.

David the other big concern tonight, especially here in eastern New England, where the winds will be the worst power outages.

And if you need electricity to spark the furnace, that means no light and no heat, potentially for days.

And what is life threatening cold?

David?

All right, Rob Marciano with the lights still on behind him in Boston.

Let's hope it stays that way.
