After dumping more than two feet of snow across portions of the Northeast on Sunday and Monday while bringing snow to major cities along the Interstate-95 corridor, a robust winter storm will continue to inundate portions of New England through Tuesday.
Boston Public schools announced on Monday that classes will not be in session on Tuesday due to the massive storm system. For those who still need to travel, plan on a slow commute courtesy of the weather.
Many other schools and businesses across southern New England have decided to close their doors Tuesday due to inclement weather.
Luckily for places like Boston and much of southern New England, the heaviest snow fell overnight. As the storm pivots northward, snow will come to an end during the morning hours.
The same cannot be said for areas farther north on Tuesday. As the storm pivots along the coast, much of Maine will see snowfall totals pile up.
Portland, Maine, can expect a rough morning commute due to the snow overnight and an additional 3-6 inches during the day will make the evening commute messy as well.
Augusta, Bangor and even Caribou, Maine, will all have plowable snow as the storm continues through much of the day. While it will not pile up as much as it did in spots on Monday, a swath of 6-12 inches across Maine is still expected.
As the storm pivots along the coast, snow can be expected through most of the daylight hours for all of the cities mentioned above.
A gusty north wind will also lead to reduced visibilities as well as some blowing and drifting of snow across area roadways.
Travelers along interstates 95 and 295 in Maine will likely deal with extended commute times because of the snow and wind. This threat will likely occur for both the morning and evening commutes.
The storm will begin to pull away from the Atlantic coast into Tuesday evening, bringing an end to the snow overnight across northern New England.
Aside from a few stray snow showers, most of the areas that had the worst of the impacts from this storm will have mainly dry conditions midweek. This will allow for millions of people to shovel their way out in the wake of this massive storm.
