New Forecast Shows Up to 20 Inches of Snow On the Way

It's going to snow this weekend, but how much will we get?

The state and national news networks all agree on one thing, there is a storm coming to town for Friday and Saturday.

What they don't agree on is how much snowfall you're going to see. As of 11 p.m. Tuesday night, estimates range from 3 inches to nearly 2 feet.

A new forecast from WHDH today shows most of Massachusetts receiving 15-20 inches on Friday and Saturday, an increase from the initial forecast of 8-12 inches.

A report from Jim Arnold, weather specialist with the Shrewsbury Management Agency, said the storm will likely begin Thursday and could leave 10 to 15 inches across the area.

The Weather Channel said the storm will likely peak Friday night around 10 p.m. They are focusing on two very different possibilities, one that could dump nearly 2 feet in the Boston area, the other showing less than 3 inches.

Fox25 is keeping their estimate in the middle. "The heaviest snow band could produce over a foot of snow here.”

ABC affiliate WCVB is updating their website as the storm gets closer. The newest information they have in their website is showing around 8 inches across Southeastern Massachusetts by 8 p.m. Friday , although the storm will continue well after.

Do you want the two feet across the area or are you hoping for another miss? Tell us in the comments.
