While it is too early to determine how much snow may fall several inches may accumulate in the hilltowns. In the valley and on the shoreline temperatures will be a bit warmer and accumulation is unlikely but not out of the question.
April snow is common in the hills with an average of a few inches falling during the month at the weather observing site in Norfolk.
The weekend looks brighter and warmer.
