Light Snow to Greet New Year in Boston, With Cape Seeing the Most

Forecasters point to Atlantic moisture boosting totals on Cape Cod.

Overview

  • Snow arrives around midnight, peaks between 3 and 6 a.m., and moves offshore just before 7 a.m.
  • Widespread totals of 1–3 inches are expected, with the best chance of 3 inches on the Cape and Islands.
  • Most inland locations will see a dry, fluffy snow that accumulates quickly, while the Cape gets wetter snow that piles up less efficiently.
  • Winds will be light with minimal drifting, though brief visibility drops are possible on the Cape in heavier bursts.
  • Cold conditions persist into the holiday weekend with highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits and teens, and meteorologists will monitor an offshore development zone for potential storms next week.
