MA Weather: Significant Snow Expected This Week

The slow drip of winter continues this week, as 3-5 inches of snow is expected across Massachusetts. Forecasters said to expect snow beginning Wednesday night and continuing into Thursday morning.

The snow accumulation might get up to 5 inches, according to several forecasts. The highest totals will be in Western Massachusetts. At least 3-4 inches is expected to be widespread across the state.

Patch will have to up-to-date school delays and closures, if any arise, beginning Wednesday. Because it's an overnight storm, many decisions could be made in the early morning.

Before the snow falls, we could see perhaps the coldest night until next winter. Even though winds have calmed down a bit from Monday, wind chill factors could still be close to zero overnight into early Wednesday morning.

The early forecast for the first week of March currently is showing colder-than-normal temperatures, but little to no precipitation.
