Brace yourself, Massachusetts residents—a new snow map has just revealed an updated forecast that could turn your Sunday into a winter wonderland, and it’s not just about the scenery. But here’s where it gets controversial: while many are focused on the Patriots game, the real story might be the snowstorm’s timing and intensity, which could disrupt more than just your tailgating plans. And this is the part most people miss—the snow isn’t just a light dusting; it’s expected to ramp up significantly as fans head home, potentially causing travel headaches.
Boston 25 Meteorologist Vicki Graf breaks it down: the day will start with light snow, but by kickoff, flurries are almost guaranteed. ‘I can’t rule out a flurry if you’re planning to tailgate,’ she warns. As the game wraps up, the snow will intensify, making the commute home a bit more challenging. Overnight, the storm will continue, leaving a substantial layer of snow by Monday morning. Vicki’s latest tweet underscores the urgency: ‘You’ll need to get out and shovel snow Monday morning!’
Here’s the kicker: while widespread snowfall is expected to range from 3 to 6 inches across eastern Massachusetts, some areas might see up to 7 inches. The Cape and Islands, however, will likely dodge the brunt of it. But don’t let that fool you—even a few inches can cause delays, especially if you’re hitting the roads early. Speaking of which, if you’re venturing out, make sure to clear the snow from your car to avoid any hazards.
