Walpole Snow Storm: How Much Will We Get?

WALPOLE, MA - Walpole may not receive the brunt of the damage being caused by this weekend’s snowstorm, but residents could still see some measurable snow this weekend.

Weather forecasts predicted Thursday that Walpole would likely receive less than one inch of snow on Saturday into Sunday, and might have missed the winter weather all together.

Now it seems that the storm has changed its course, and Walpole will be seeing noticeable snow accumulations on Saturday into Sunday. While snow is not expected to be forcibly dumped on the region, noticeable accumulations could force you to whip out those ice scrapers and snow shovels.

According to the National Weather Service’s most updated forecast, there is a 50 percent chance of snow on Saturday night. Accumulations could exceed previous expectations and total around one to two inches on Saturday and one to three inches Saturday night. Skies will be mostly cloudy and temperatures will drop as low as 22 degrees.

North winds of around 14 miles per hour should be expected, with gusts as high as 31 miles per hour.

Sunday brings a chance of snow before noon, but the temperature will rise to around 32 degrees.
