Massachusetts Expected to Get 9 Inches of Snow This Weekend
A major winter storm is heading toward Massachusetts, bringing 6 to 9 inches of snow from Saturday night into Sunday. The snow will come down hardest between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., dropping about an inch every hour.
With this storm moving toward New England, the National Weather Service has put out a Winter Storm Watch. This is just the latest storm in a string of bad weather hitting the state.
While snow will cover most of Massachusetts Saturday night, the coast will see something different. The south coast, Cape Cod, and islands will likely get less snow than areas further inland.
MassDOT workers have begun prepping roads and are ready to handle whatever weather comes their way.
Since dangerous driving conditions will probably last into Sunday afternoon, state officials are asking drivers to be careful. People might need to change their weekend plans as roads become icy and unsafe.
Previous storms have shown how snow can quickly stop everyday services. That’s why officials keep reminding people to watch weather reports and adjust their travel when needed.
This storm is part of an active weather pattern that weather experts are watching closely. Each new storm adds to the growing amount of snow Massachusetts has gotten this winter.
State workers are keeping an eye on things 24/7, ready to change their approach based on how much snow falls and how safe the roads are.
