Mass. Nor'easter: How Much Snow is Expected in Belmont Thursday?

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch and a Winter Storm Advisory that will be in effect from Wednesday night through late Thursday night. The NWS is warning of "heavy snow," 8-12 inches across most of Massachusetts.

"Snow will begin early Thursday morning and last through much of the day before ending Thursday evening," the NWS writes. "Snow could fall heavy at times and impact both the morning and evening commutes."

The NWS predicts snow is likely in Belmont Wednesday night, with accumulation of less than in inch. That will continue into Thursday, with 9-13 inches of snow forecasted by the NWS.
