What Boston meteorologists are saying about the snow forecast for Wednesday — and the morning commute
"It's not about the amount of snow, it's about the timing."
National Weather Service: ‘Rains change to snow overnight’
[Approximate Timeline] Rain will be transitioning to snow across interior MA/CT through 1 AM, the Boston to Providence corridor between 1 and 4 AM, and the Cape/Islands between 4 and 7 AM. Hazardous travel for the AM commute in the Boston, to Providence, to Hartford metro areas. pic.twitter.com/CvoDLWZw0f

[8 PM] Cold front has just moved through the Boston to Providence corridor with temps now in the upper 30s and lower 40s across interior MA/CT. The 50s across southern RI/southeast MA will be quickly falling through the 40s in the next 1 to 2 hours behind the strong cold front. pic.twitter.com/QOvlN5Hcy1

David Epstein: ‘The snow will mostly fall between 1 a.m and 11 a.m.’
The snow will mostly fall between 1 a.m and 11 a.m. There may be some bursts of moderate snow, especially southeastern MA. Notice how it accumulates, then there’s a lull then a final burst. Still not a big deal, just timing for AM commute is not great. Leave early/extra time. pic.twitter.com/siNjtrWWh6

Trend continues to keep higher snow totals over southeastern MA tomorrow. Plan on a slower commute as it only takes a very small amount at the wrong time to make a mess of travel. pic.twitter.com/34lgdQZR5d

Yes there should be some snow early Wednesday pre-dawn and into the morning, but not a big deal. Temperatures below freezing could create some slick spots on untreated surfaces. pic.twitter.com/rTy9phtLL1

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘Some slick spots for morning travel expected’
Just going to let it ride. Most probably in the coating to 2″ range. Combined with the falling temps and things freezing back up, some slick spots for morning travel expected. #wbz pic.twitter.com/c4bCyGBHKf

It’s not about the amount of snow, it’s about the timing. Give yourself extra time for the morning commute tomorrow. 2-4″ of snow are expected for towns along and south of the Mass Pike. @7News pic.twitter.com/fdB8booDAl
