You Tell Us, Glad It's Warm or Hoping For Snow?

You tell us, are you soaking in these spring-like temperatures or hoping to see snow in the forecast?

Let's face it - it's been a few years since a snowstorm has truly walloped the area, despite several inches in a recent storm.  On top of that, the National Weather Service is predicting that local residents can expect high temperatures to stay in the mid-40s for the rest of the week and the New England Patriots may end up playing their rematch with the Houston Texans in sunny, 50-degree weather. So, we have to ask: Have you been loving this break from typical New England winter weather or are you in serious need of snowfall? Let us know in the comments section below.

Stream of Storms This Week Will be 'Mainly Rain'

There will be several storms moving across the area all week that are expected to all bring rain to much of the state.

The light coating of white we saw on the ground Sunday afternoon is likely all the snow we’ll see as part of several storms that will move across much of the state, including Canton, this week, according to the National Weather Service. The greatest chance of snow will come to the northwest of the two towns. On Monday night into Tuesday, the next storm will bring “mainly rain” to the area, the weather service said. Then on Tuesday night into Wednesday northwest winds could really pick up. Winds during that time could prompt a wind advisory, the weather service said. And finally, on Thursday night into Friday, another storm will again “probably bring mainly rain” with a greater chance of snow to start the storm for inland areas.

A Snowy Saturday in Canton

Today's storm is expected to bring a few inches of snow to Canton.

Today's snow storm is expected to bring about two to four inches to Canton–just enough to have to clear the sidewalks. The National Weather Service decreased the accumulation totals, so it seems Canton will be spared any major snow piles. The snow started around 3:00 a.m. today and should continue through tonight. Expect a cold, chilly day with a high temperature of 35 and a low of 18 degrees, according to the NWS. But Sunday will be snow-free, with temps in the high 20s and partly sunny skies, according to the NWS.

PHOTO GALLERY: A Saturday Snow Day in Canton

The roads were fairly clear this afternoon, but it was still slow-going during the height of the storm.

Canton roads were fairly clear this morning but the storm seems to have dumped more snow around town, making for a tricky commute this afternoon. The Canton DPW plows were out in force, including one plowing the Canton Police Department's parking lot. Washington Street was still covered in snow, thanks to a pick up in the snowfall. Drivers took their time on the roads, staying under the speed limit. However, the few inches of the white stuff did not stop shoppers from enjoying their Saturday afternoon. The Village Shops in Canton had a full parking lot this afternoon and the stores were filled with shoppers determined to find bargains, including at the The Gap and Marshalls. A few brave souls took their cigarette breaks outside of the …
