Even in a worst-case scenario, meteorologists say we’d see no more than 6 inches of snow – or some 26 inches less than the storm that hit the area two weeks ago.
The snow is expected to keep coming down throughout the day, affecting the commute both into work and on the way back home.
Blizzard conditions were expected in parts of New England, with the eastern portion of the region expected to get about 5-8 inches of snow, while a stretch from Boston to Cape Cod could expect up to 12 inches by the time the storm passes on Tuesday, according to Kevin Roth, lead meteorologist for The Weather Channel.
But the snowfall starting Monday won’t do much to lift snowfall totals in a region where skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing are big business.
More than a half-foot of snow fell from Nacio in parts of the Buckeye State Tuesday morning, and crews were working feverishly to keep roads cleared of snow so travel could continue.
The high will reach only 24, according to the National Weather Service. Gusty winds of up to 60 miles per hour are expected with some whiteout conditions. “We always hope snow events are less than predicted, but in IL, you can never tell how much snow will actually come”.
Winter Storm Watches were posted to our borders in Central Massachusetts and Northern Rhode Island on Sunday morning. Thursday’s high temperatures are only expected to get into the 20’s. The National Weather Service is predicting another 2 to 4 inches of snow will fall Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, making roads slippery and reducing visibilities.

By Wednesday evening, the snow should have moved out with the possibility of flurries lingering into Thursday morning.
