By Les Masterson

The latest snowstorm is expected to continue to dump snow on Massachusetts through Monday, and Marblehead is already at the top of the Essex County list.

But the good news is the steady snow will begin to dissipate on Monday afternoon.

Marblehead had already received nearly 13 inches as of Monday morning, and a few more inches will fall beforeit ends late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

The predictions of two feet are still likely for many communities, including parts of Norfolk and Plymouth counties. Nearly all of the counties listed below should have communities that wind up with at least 18 inches once the storm pulls away.
