A little snow Tuesday morning before a change to rain. Amounts are light, but it does coincide with the AM commute- could be a bit slippery in spots. Turn on #wcvb now for timeline pic.twitter.com/9iu9jkK9zw

We have a few chances for snow and rain in the forecast this week. We won’t see as much snow in the greater Boston area, you have to go to the higher elevations to see more. pic.twitter.com/l6Tv8aJQUn
