NORTHAMPTON - Weather experts are predicting that the Pioneer Valley, unscathed by two storms earlier this month that left cities along the Atlantic seaboard buried under snow, will find itself once again blanketed in white by the end of today.
Snowfall is expected to begin around 2 a.m. and continue into Wednesday, producing between 2 and 4 inches across most of Hampshire County, according to the National Weather Service.
Although News 22 meteorologist Brian Lapis said residents should be prepared for about an inch of snow on the ground this morning, most of the accumulation is expected to occur later in the day.
"I think that there will be some moderate and some heavy snow during the first half of the day," Lapis said. "It may break up and taper off for a period in the early afternoon, but should last through the day."
Unlike a storm last week that prompted school officials across the commonwealth to cancel classes, Lapis said no cancellations had been sent in to his station as of 7 p.m. Monday.
