By sunrise Sunday, New Englanders could see 3 to 6 inches of snow on the ground, but that total will increase by a couple more inches before noontime, putting the total forecast accumulation around 4 to 8 inches for much of Southern New England. About 3 to 6 inches are expected along the coast and north of the Mass. border.

Much of Massachusetts could see as much as a foot of snow fall during Saturday night's snowstorm. Here's when the storm might start and what it means for travel.

More than 6 inches of snow is possible across Massachusetts this weekend, according to the National Weather Service’s Boston office.

The snow will arrive Saturday between 10 p.m. and midnight. Once it arrives, it will hit the ground running. The majority of the snow accumulation will occur between midnight and 7 a.m. on Sunday. There will be some light snow and flurries between 7 a.m. and noon but very little additional accumulation.

The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

Snow totals varied across the state, with accumulations approaching as high as 2.5 inches along and north of Route 2, forecasters said.
