Bitter Wind Chills With Snow Chance This Weekend: See New Year's Snow Totals

MASSACHUSETTS — The deep freeze that has enveloped New England for much of the past month will extend through the weekend as the next chance for snow arrives late Saturday night.

While the snow showers will be light compared to the New Year's Eve storm and ensuing snow squalls connected to a reinforcing blast of arctic air on New Year's Day, it could be enough to coat the roads and pile up to an inch beginning around midnight on Saturday and lasting into early Sunday morning.

It will be cold and quiet otherwise, with a high temperature of 28 and westerly wind gusts up to 20 mph both Friday and Saturday — keeping wind chills in the teens — according to the National Weather Service.

Sunday and Monday will be even colder, with highs in the 20s each day, along with a harsh northwest wind. The peak of the cold will be Monday morning with lows in the single digits across much of the state.

Snow showers on Monday night will actually pave the way for warmer temperatures next week as highs will reach the 30s on Tuesday and into the 40s later in the week.

More than 4 inches of snow fell on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with Cape Cod getting the biggest one-two punch from the overnight snow and the morning squalls.

Here are some of the top totals across MA, according to the NWS:

• 4.6 inches — Chatham
• 4.5 inches — East Dennis
• 4.5 inches — Sturbridge
• 4.3 inches — Sandwich
• 4.0 inches — Harwich
• 3.8 inches — Rockland
• 3.5 inches — Milford
• 3.5 inches — Braintree
• 3.0 inches — Hingham
• 3.0 inches — Plymouth
• 2.6 inches — Worcester Airport
• 0.7 inches — Logan Airport
