Winchester's Hour-by-Hour Weather Forecast

By Les Masterson (Patch Staff)

The third snowstorm of the past week is headed toward Massachusetts and is expected to drop about a foot of snow across the area.

The first question most people have is: When is it going to start and how will it impact my commute to work?

The snow should begin overnight before intensifying during the morning commute. Snow will fall at a 1- to 2-inch per hour clip until noontime when it will not fall quite as hard. Snow is expected to stretch into the evening.
