Worcester Faces Another Snow Shake‑Up

The town of Worcester is preparing for a new burst of winter weather that will hit between 5 p. m. Thursday and noon Friday. Forecasts warn of a mix of snow, sleet, and a small amount of ice that could build up to three inches in some spots. \n\n Residents north of the Massachusetts Turnpike and those living on higher ground should expect a tough commute. The National Weather Service says the roads may be slick and that trees or power lines could break under the weight. \n\n In response, Fitchburg has called a snow emergency and banned winter parking from 7 p.m. Thursday until noon Friday. \n\n The bright side is that the storm will weaken by Friday afternoon, turning mostly into light rain as temperatures climb. Weather experts predict a warm spell next week, with highs in the 50s and 60s. \n\n On Tuesday, March 10, Worcester could see a sunny day with temperatures reaching 65 degrees. \n\n Residents are advised to stay updated, keep windows closed, and plan for possible power outages. \n\n
