Norwood Storm Center: Blizzard Conditions Possible

NORWOOD, MA — Here we go again, for the third time actually. Snow will begin late Monday night and persist for as long as 24 hours in parts of the state, making for an almost impossible Tuesday morning commute. Still, forecasters are hoping this storm brings less widespread power outages than the last two.

The latest bundle of snow means that the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from 11 p.m. Monday night to 8 p.m. Tuesday. During this time, total snow accumulations of 10 to 15 inches, with localized amounts up to 18 inches, are expected, according to the NWS.

Towns from the coast to Interstate 95 are expected to be hit by the worst of this storm, meaning possible blizzard conditions. Wind gusts could hit 55 mph, the NWS said.

Any cancellations and updates during the lead up to the storm will be posted here.

Town Closures

All non-emergency town offices and buildings will be closed Tuesday.

Trash Pickup

Tuesday's pickup has been canceled and there will be a one-day delay for the rest of the week.
