How Much Snow Will Andover Get on Saturday?

A second storm is headed to the area and could make driving hazardous on Saturday.

A second storm of the week is headed toward New England and will dump more snow onto the area on Saturday. 7News meteorologists are predicting Andover to get between 2 to 4 inches of snow in the storm that is expected to start on Saturday afternoon and spread into the early hours of Sunday. The good news is that snow removal shouldn’t be a backbreaking endeavour. CBSBoston’s Todd Gutner said the snow will be “dry and fluffy for most,” though he warned that driving could be hazardous at times on Saturday.

Snow Today Not Likely to Bring Accumulation

The snow that will roll through New England Tuesday will avoid accumulating throughout much of Massachusetts.

The only "storm" this week is forecast to mostly miss Andover, or at least bring no accumulation when it rolls through on Tuesday. The storm will bring overcast skies and snow along and below the Mass Pike line, according to Jeremy Reiner on the WHDH Channel 7 Weather Blog. This will be the only "storm" of the week, said Reiner, and take place midday into the late afternoon. The National Weather Service says Andover has a 40 percent of snow showers today before 2 p.m., followed by a chance of rain showers, with little or no snow accumulation expected. There's a slight chance of snow showers tonight and through tomorrow morning, but again, no accumlation. Andover should see a high near 37 today and a low around 26 tonight.

The notice was back again around 5 p.m., however, once again declaring the possibility of a winter storm hitting in the early morning hours on Thursday. "There is a moderate to high probability that a winter weather advisory for accumulating snow and/or ice will be needed for a portion of the interior late Wednesday night into Thursday," the NWS says. "There is still some uncertainty but confidence is increasing in a period of wintry precipitation." As of a …

POLL: National Grid's Response

What do you think about National Grid's response to the power outages?

The freak October storm that struck the area on Saturday night and early Sunday morning is still crippling parts of the region. Ninety percent of Andover homes were without power as of Sunday with National Grid unsure of when the power would be restored. National Grid then reported that it may take until Thursday to restore all power.  Given this disruption to residents and businesses coupled with the freakish nature of the October snowstorm, we're asking you what you think about National Grid's response. Please vote and let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

I was surprised on Sunday afternoon after the storm not to see the Andover Public Works Department along with the Andover Police Department on the streets clearing the roadways. After all most of the towns residents were up town as early as 8:00 A.M. in hopes to find someone open to get coffee. I feel that the Andover Public Works Department has also done a poor job in cleaning up from the storm…   more ›
