This was the second round of snow for the Cape since Christmas. Last Friday’s storm dropped over four inches in Sandwich and also touched Bourne, Falmouth, Mashpee, Harwich and Brewster.

The Weather Service says the next chance for snow is coming up on Sunday, followed by a mixed precipitation chance next Tuesday to Wednesday.

Cold weather is dominating the Cape this week, with temperatures forecast to stay below freezing until next Tuesday, when the weather service is forecasting a high temperature of around 40 degrees.
