Coming off a 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Divisional Round, Mike Vrabel ’s New England Patriots are now just one win away from the AFC Championship Game. They’ll host CJ Stroud and the red-hot Texans at Gillette Stadium (3:00 p.m. EST).

Some models and plenty of social media hype have proposed that the South could see some accumulating snow this weekend. We look at what might be fact or fiction.

Texans fans traveling to New England this weekend should prepare for cold, wintry weather, with snow possible and travel delays most likely late Saturday into Sunday.

The forecast for the Texans and Patriots game is looking to have snow as an east coast winter storm is "rising significantly."

Storms headed to New England late Wednesday will bring mostly rain to Boston and Southern New England, with snow up north.

Incoming cold air is going to set the stage for a couple of snow chances in Massachusetts this weekend, the latest weather forecast shows. Halfway through January, Boston has seen nine straight days of above-average temperatures, and snow has been well below average with only 1.1 inches in the city so far.

A series of cold storms systems will continue to work from the Midwest into the Northeast through early next week, bringing several rounds of snow and brutally cold air. By Sunday morning, cold air should catch up with rain along the I-95 corridor to bring accumulating wintry weather to the busy interstate and some coastal areas.

The Patriots are heading into a do-or-die game against the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium on Sunday at 3 p.m., and two weather systems threaten to bring some snow to southern New England.
