TELL US: How Much Snow will Chelmsford Get?

A blizzard watch issued and the latest forecasts see as much as two feet of snow falling on Chelmsford.

 

The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Watch for Chelmsford and surrounding areas from Friday night through Saturday morning.

According to the watch, "The worst of the storm will be Friday night into Saturday morning," with snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour possible. "Travel may become nearly impossible with blowing and drifting snow."

Several news outlets can agree that a minimum accumulation of 18 inches is headed this way, but the maximum accumulation numbers vary.

Here's the deal:

- WCVB is predicting 25.3 inches of snow in Boston by 11 a.m. Saturday.

- WHDH is calling for 15-20 inches of snow throughout the area that includes Lexington.

- The NWS is predicting 18-24 inches for the entire area.

But we want to hear what your predictions are.

How much snow will Chelmsford get? Let us know in the comments.

I hope everyone is aware of the French Toast Alert System, based on the observation that people buy milk, eggs, and bread ahead of storms, so it must be for French Toast!

"SEVERE: Nor'easter predicted. This is it, people, THE BIG ONE. RUSH to emergency supermarket NOW for multiple gallons of milk, cartons of eggs and loaves of bread. Place pets in basement for use as emergency food supply if needed."

Probably what the NWS predicts, 18 to 24". Way more than we need or that I want ... it's all too much! What was it the ground hog predicted just a few days ago? Fickle February ... never know what it'll bring and I cannot wait for spring, some crocus, hyacynths, tulips and daffodils. A dream devoutly to lay my head down upon.
