As storm wraps up east of New England tonight and Tuesday it will put eastern areas on western side of storm. This is still a fluid (pun intended) situation. Updated snow map this afternoon could go a bit lower/higher with new information. pic.twitter.com/RtZkXDRrH2

Michael Page, NBC10 Boston and NECN: ‘Your drive to work around Greater Boston will be much more wintry [Tuesday] than [Monday].’
PART 1: congratulations! Part 1 of our 3 part storm is done. It left more than a foot of snow in parts of Western New England. Here’s a rough estimate based on your reports. pic.twitter.com/Wtj7InrqBp

PART 3: remember, the final burst of snow comes tonight and during the Tuesday morning commute. Your drive to work around Greater Boston will be much more wintry tomorrow than today. A rough idea of what’s still to come in terms of snow. pic.twitter.com/1sgH1qk7qu

Pamela Gardner, NBC10 Boston and NECN: ‘Long duration storm continues.’
Long duration storm continues. Milder temps near the coast and all rain, mix to snow across central MA and in the Merrimack Valley. So far several inches of snow on the ground. We stay as a mix, rain southeast this afternoon and a gusty onshore wind. @NBC10Boston @NECN pic.twitter.com/jXVS8OuHtT

Pockets of minor coastal flooding on NE facing beaches during this afternoon’s high tide. Waves 10-15′ offshore will create splashover and some erosion too. @NBC10Boston @NECN pic.twitter.com/4ouXIKxrEI

Wintry mix today, gusty NE wind. We convert to all snow around midnight from west to east and as colder air wraps in. Snow will accumulate to several more inches by Tuesday morning. @NBC10Boston @NECN pic.twitter.com/olXUn8ZqOf

Sarah Wroblewski, WBZ: ‘Some towns that were above freezing, have now dropped… black ice/slippery roads may develop.’
Generally light scattered showers today… temps near to below freezing north and west will lead to additional snow accumulation. Gusty showers over SE MA, but be aware as temps drop this evening for icy spots to develop. #WBZ #WBZThisMorning pic.twitter.com/pKwgYJqtKH

Eyes on developing snow tonight into Tuesday… additional significant accumulations are possible. Where banding sets up… Few spots may even see over 6″ #WBZ pic.twitter.com/9NrwuOd6KP

A WINDY day as well.
Strong to damaging winds possible today over the Cape & Islands. Scattered tree damage & isolated power outages possible. #WBZ pic.twitter.com/rgB9ya6Shh— Sarah Wroblewski (@sarahwroblewski) December 2, 2019
If traveling along the coast later today… Minor coastal flooding & splashover during high tide this afternoon… fortunately tides are running astronomically low during this event. #WBZ #WBZThisMorning pic.twitter.com/lV4AVZtcsC
