3-6 inches of snow for the most populated areas of Massachusetts. More north and less south. Remember ultimately bands can end up slightly 10-15 miles further south or north. pic.twitter.com/sm5rjcOuFe

Snow going to come in hard 1-3pm and it will snow heavily thru the evening commute. 4-6″ for many of us before a change to sleet and rain. A sloppy, slushy waterlogged mess by tomorrow AM as the storm moves out #wcvb pic.twitter.com/2hqT0mWVau

Snow map time… Most of this falls between 3-7pm. Thinking about 4″ in Boston, 4-5″ Worcester, widespread 4-6″ north of the Pike and widespread 3-4″ south. Then sleet to rain this evening/overnight. pic.twitter.com/9yfVVC6caA
