While many in New England might not want to spend the weekend shoveling or plowing, the expected snowfall Saturday is coming at a great time for ski areas: right in the middle of a holiday weekend. The storm could dump up to nine inches of snow in parts of the region.  At Nashoba Valley Ski Area in Westford, Massachusetts,...

The snow is coming at a great time for New England ski areas – right in the middle of a holiday weekend.

Saturday is expected to be a great day on the slopes.

A winter storm is expected to roll into New England Saturday evening and blanket the region with snow. Here’s an hour-by-hour breakdown of what we expect, and how much snow could fall in your area.

We’ve got some cold temperatures and snow hitting New England over the long weekend.

Patchy freezing drizzle is possible Monday evening for areas northwest of Boston. A light glaze of ice accumulation and light snowflakes will create new slick spots on the roads through about midnight for especially southern and central New Hampshire and Downeast Maine. Boston and areas southeast will continue to have light patchy drizzle, but temps don’t drop to freezing...

After a two-day storm that moved through the region, residents in Maine are now digging out of a snowy mess. The storm dumped more than 14 inches of snow in Gorham and 12 inches in Portland, clogging roads across the city. The impact from the storm that began Sunday night was felt heavily with state offices closing early Monday and…

Slick areas in the northern half of New England caused problems Friday morning, including a jackknifed tractor trailer that shut down the southbound side of the Maine Turnpike in Gray, but warmer air is steadily taking hold, marking the end to icy conditions and a day that sends temperatures well into the 40s for most of us.  Sprinkles will...

Wednesday night: Gusty wind with wind chill around -10. Lows around 10 above. Thursday: Arctic sun with a bitter wind. Highs in the 20s, wind chill 10-15.

To officially qualify as a white Christmas, there needs to be at least 1 inch of snow on the ground Christmas morning. The big question is which areas will meet that mark this year. With snow on the ground now, you might think it’s a lock, as bitterly cold air arrives late week. Not so fast though, because a warm-up…

We have a First Alert for Thursday for the bitter cold temperatures and wind chills. Wednesday evening, the snow squalls are the main weather story, with quick but light accumulations, low visibility and gusty wind as these isolated snow showers move through. After the evening commute, the majority of these snow showers will dissipate and move offshore. Northern New England…

We’ve had a slippery and icy afternoon as freezing rain and sleet continued to fall across southern New England. Northern New England had all snow today as temperatures were colder than freezing in all levels of the atmosphere. A nose of warmer air aloft moved in from the south, changing the snow in southern New England to a sloppy...

Tuesday’s wintry mess hasn’t been a textbook evolution in New England: rather than a slug of organized snow and mix, we’ve instead seen bursts of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain akin to summertime showers and thunderstorms, cropping up quickly, remaining localized and exiting just as quickly.  The result has been a tremendous difference between communities, from snow-covered winter...

Massachusetts transportation officials warned drivers to use caution as several crashes were reported amid snowy conditions Tuesday morning. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation said on Twitter the speed limit on the Massachusetts Turnpike had been temporarily reduced to 40 mph as snow and freezing rain caused slippery conditions. Using the hashtag #TakeItSlow, MassDot urged drivers to keep a safe distance…

Business is continuing as usual in Boston despite the falling snow. The Hub is expected to get a few more inches of snow with this storm.

Worcester, Massachusetts is beginning to see some flakes as the city prepares for up to 4 inches of plowable snow.

Waves of low-pressure rippling along a boundary just south of New England will be generating periods of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain for much of New England Tuesday. We are in First Alert for the third or fourth plowable snowfall in three weeks. We are losing track of how much snow, but snowfall amounts to date are off to…
