The National Weather Service advises you do that because we're expected to get a mighty wind on Christmas Day, not to mention potentially record setting amounts of rain (Harvey Leonard's looking at 2 1/2 inches in Boston), which is probably not what we want to see on top of all the snow.

The National Weather Service reports we could get wind gusts of up to 65 m.p.h. tomorrow, and National Grid is warning of potential power outages as Mother Nature unleashes her fury and snaps trees like matchsticks as a powerful storm churns across the region and, oh, God, we're babbling again, aren't we?
