Will Tewksbury Get Much Snow From This Storm?

A long-duration storm is knocking on the door, but most local meteorologists expect snowfall in the Merrimack Valley to be limited.

  The Merrimack Valley in for some wet weather Wednesday through Friday, according to local forecasts, but don't get out your snow shovels yet. For Boston, the local weather teams aren't predicting very much snow. Instead, expect a lot of rain and maybe some heavy slushy snow in spots. The Merrimack Valley, on the other hand, appears to be due for 3-5 inches of heavy wet snow. Flooding may become an issue in some areas, especially if it turns to rain. Here are the latest forecasts from the local television news weather teams. All totals were updated Wednesday morning. WHDH (7 News): 3-5 inches WLVI (NewsCenter 5): 1-2 inches along the coast, six inches or more inland WBZ (CBS Local): 2-4 inches WFXT (MyFox Boston): 3-5 inches NECN: 3-5 …

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 Tewksbury.

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 Tewksbury this week, according to the National Weather Service. The greatest chance of snow will come to the northwest of Boston. 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.

Tewksbury Dog Rescued By Firefighters After Falling Through Ice

Tewksbury German Shepard had fallen through thin ice into frigid water.

Ceres and his fellow firefighters were called to Wild Ave. and Phillips Ave. near Silver Lake where a German Shepard had fallen through thin ice and was unable to pull himself onto solid ground. “He had his front half on the ice, but when he moved the ice would break,” said Ceres. “He knew he was in trouble.” So Ceres loaded an ice rescue sled into his pick up truck and was joined by two firefighters in wetsuits at the scene in addition to several other responding trucks. But the rescue workers didn’t need to enter the frigid water. Ceres tossed a grappling hook …
