Public safety officials around the region spent today bracing for a “crippling” storm that could drop up to 3 feet of heavy snow, whipped into white-out conditions by hurricane-force wind gusts starting Monday night into Wednesday morning.

“This storm definitely has the capability of being not only historic but also catastrophic,” said Benjamin Sipprell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton.

The storm is expected to be heaviest from Monday night through Tuesday afternoon, with north-northeast winds of 30 to 40 miles per hour and gusts of 65 to 75 miles per hour, according to the weather service.
