...LIGHT SNOW IS FALLING ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL RESULT IN 

SLIPPERY TRAVEL FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE NEAR AND ESPECIALLY NORTH 

OF THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE...



Light snow is falling across the region with a coating and up to 

2 inches of snow north of the MA Pike. Some locations in the high 

terrain of the East Slopes of the Berkshires may see localized 3 

inch amounts. Snow is expected to wind down from west to east 

between 7 to 9pm.



While snow amounts into early this evening will be light, this 

does look to coincide with the late day commute. Therefore, 

motorists planning travel across northern Massachusetts this 

afternoon and early evening should be prepared for slippery travel

especially in the higher terrain.
