If you thought winter was winding down, think again. A wave of snowstorms is heading straight for Baltimore and New England, bringing icy roads, heavy snowfall, and bitter cold. With three separate storms lined up this week, it’s time to dig out the snow shovels, stock up on essentials, and prepare for some rough travel conditions.
Baltimore: Snowy and Slippery Days Ahead
After a chilly but mostly clear start to the week, Baltimore is about to get hit with another round of winter weather. Monday stays dry with highs around 46°F (8°C), but don’t let that fool you. By Tuesday afternoon, the first snowstorm arrives, dropping 2 to 4 inches and turning roads slick. As the temperature falls to 30°F (-1°C) at night, conditions will get even worse.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning. Forecasters warn that up to 6 inches of snow could fall, making the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning commutes a nightmare. If you can avoid driving, do it. If you have to be out, expect slow moving traffic, poor visibility, and icy roads.
New England: Back-to-Back Storms Incoming
New England, buckle up—this week’s forecast is looking rough. Three different storms will sweep through, each bringing its own mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
- Boston, MA – A quiet Monday with a high of 34°F (1°C), but by Thursday morning, snow is back, bringing fresh accumulation.
- Burlington, VT – Light flurries on Sunday give way to heavier snow Tuesday, with 6 to 12 cm expected.
- Concord, NH – A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain hits Thursday, making travel extremely dangerous.
- Portland, ME – After a heavy snow dump Sunday, a brief break comes Monday before more snow and ice arrive later in the week.
- Providence, RI & Hartford, CT – Cold but clear to start the week, with another winter storm rolling in soon after.
What You Need to Do Now
If you haven’t prepped for winter weather, now is the time. Roads will be icy, visibility will be low, and power outages could happen if ice builds up on power lines. Stay inside if possible, stock up on food and supplies, and keep your devices charged.
Winter isn’t going anywhere just yet—stay safe, stay warm, and be ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at us next!
