How Much Snow is Salem Getting?

The National Weather Service said there is still "some uncertainty" as the storm heads this way.

We’re officially in spring, but the snow isn’t done with us quite yet.

Another snowstorm is headed toward New England and expected to start Tuesday night and last into Wednesday. While this one carries quite a punch, weather forecasters are expecting the brunt of the storm to miss this area.

Cape Cod and the Islands are expected to get as much as 10 inches of snow with coastal flooding.
