Good evening everyone,

There have been no changes to the Winter Weather Advisories, which remain in effect for Barnstable and eastern Plymouth Counties until 4 PM Saturday.  However, we have upped event totals to as much as local 6 to 8 inch amounts in eastern Plymouth County by Saturday afternoon (see attached map).  Snowfall so far has been as high as 3 to 4 inches in spots.

FYI, the criteria for a Winter Storm Warning is if an average of 8 inches falls in a 24 hour period. This is over a much longer period and those higher amounts are more localized, not common throughout the zone.  So, that is why Advisories remain posted.
