Cape Region residents woke up to a snow-covered landscape Jan. 6.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning that lasts until 7 a.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7. The warning is calling for up to 12 inches of snow.
This may be the first snow of 2025, but it’s likely not the last. The NWS is also calling for more snow this weekend.
