ICY WEATHER:

It wasn’t exactly a blockbuster, but if you were driving home during Tuesday’s fast-moving wintry mix, you know that it wasn’t nothing, either. And in fact, several towns reported measurable snow from the storm, in some cases more than 6 inches.

The storm eventually gave way to freezing rain in most areas — including .1 inches in Haverhill and .13 inches in Sterling, according to the National Weather service — resulting in a slippery Wednesday morning commute. Below you’ll find the NWS snow totals from the towns reporting in.

Note: The below chart includes all totals posted by National Weather Service as of 9:57 a.m. on Wednesday, March 4.
