BOSTON (AP) — Just as southern New England residents finished digging out from the latest storm, forecasters say more snow is on the way.
The region, which has already had record snowfall, can expect more light snowfall today just in time for the evening commute, according to the National Weather Service.
The snow should taper off early tomorrow morning, bringing Cape Cod up to 4 inches and around 2 inches elsewhere in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and parts of Connecticut.
Forecasters are watching a more potent storm that could dump higher amounts over the Valentine’s Day weekend. The weather service says it’s too early to say how much that might ultimately bring, but the Saturday to Sunday storm could bring “plowable snow.”
Meteorologist Stephanie Dunten also warned of low temperatures tomorrow through the Presidents Day holiday on Monday.
“The snow is not going to be melting anytime soon,” she said Tuesday. “We recommend homeowners scrape any snow off their roofs to avoid overloading, as we’ve already seen a few roofs collapsing.”
