How Much Snow is Milton Getting This Weekend?

With snow likely again this weekend in New England, Milton residents are likely wondering what the impact will be.

Though The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook for the region, the South Shore is expected to get more of a wintery mix than high snow totals. As of Friday morning, snowfall predictions for the Milton area top out around 6 inches.

West and north of Boston will probably get greater snowfall with some forecasters calling for up to 14 inches of wet snow.

Here is a look at the snowfall estimates for Milton as of 9 a.m. Friday:

• Channel 4: 4 to 6 inches mixed rain and snow
• Channel 5: 3 to 6 inches
• Channel 7: 3 to 6 inchesNECN: 3 inches

Storm start-up still looks like Saturday afternoon. We'll still be able to get around and the amounts will be light through midnight - in fact, we may even mix from Boston to the South Shore. (Cape sees rain.)

After midnight, the storm will get a little meatier. Snow intensity will increase into Sunday morning.

Heavy snow through Sunday morning.

Tapering to flurries by mid afternoon on Sunday

There is a lot of water being thrown around in the atmosphere, and with marginally cold temps, this will result in a heavy, wet snow in many spots. Even in Worcester county, it will make for good snowballs and snowpeople. On the South Shore, it will cake to the trees and power lines - so there might be more power outages.
