A long-duration storm is knocking on the city's door, but most local meteorologists expect little snow in the Boston area.
Stoneham's in for some wet weather Wednesday through Friday, according to local forecasts, but despite early warnings of around a half of foot of snow, don't get out your snow shovels yet. For Boston, the local weather teams aren't predicting very much snow. Instead, expect a lot of rain and maybe some heavy slushy snow in spots. While areas inland may get a half a foot of snow, Boston's bigger concern is the three high tides during this storm. Flooding may become an issue along the immediate coast. The National Weather Service, which on Tuesday forecast 4-8 inches of snow in Stoneham with the caveat that there was "still some uncertainty with snowfall amounts," has tempered its forecast to 2-4 inches. Here are the latest forecasts from …
Another 4 to 8 inches of snow could fall in Stoneham starting Wednesday night through Friday morning, according to forecasters, as another storm heads towards southern New England.
Punxsutawney Phil's prognostication back on Groundhog Day for an early spring is increasingly looking like a cruel joke on the public.

"There is still some uncertainty with snowfall amounts, but this storm will have a significant impact on southern New England," the NWS said. The forecast calls for a chance of rain showers during the day on Wednesday, as the high temperature will hover near 42 degrees with a steady northeast wind between 13 and 21 miles per hour and gusts as high as 36 miles per hour. But as the temperature drops overnight, …

Light, fluffy snow on rooftops can act as a sponge for rain, which is in the forecast for Monday. The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency offers these tips.
With rain in Stoneham's forecast for Monday, the Blizzard of '13 may not be finished wreaking havoc in Massachusetts. While temperatures dropped overnight on Friday resulting in light, fluffy snow, he Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) warns that fluffy snow piled high on roofs can act as a sponge, absorbing rain and adding additional stress to structures. Relatively flat roofs are particularly vulnerable, MEMA says. In other cases, roof ice dams have formed causing water build-up, leading to interior damage. These conditions can accelerate the snowmelt.
