“Forecast challenge will be how much #snow accumulates before changing over to rain,” the service said on Twitter. “A #Winter Storm Warning remains in effect for the Berkshires & Worcester Hills for 4-8″ of heavy wet snow.”

Cold and dry start to the day. Temps struggle to near 40° with a raw ESE wind. Rain moves into the Boston area mid to late afternoon- but it will start as snow farther inland. Several inches expected overnight N&W of I-495 … especially in the higher elevations #WCVB pic.twitter.com/fmAyeXOsNU
