Zack Green, WBZ: ‘Best chance for snow arrives Thursday morning which likely makes for [headaches] on the early commute.’
Still some time to iron out Thursday morning’s commute but looking rather messy with snow/sleet potential for most. This will likely be the biggest headache between Wed-Friday’s activity. pic.twitter.com/DZ2RsFFcpg

Looking ahead, we’re in for a messy 72 hours from Wed-Fri. Best chance for snow arrives Thursday morning which likely makes for headings on the early commute. Steady, moderately heavy rain caps off the week with 40s on Friday. pic.twitter.com/ZnvNyOrfdU

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘Initial snow should pretty quickly go to ice as temps rapidly warm aloft.’
Still eyeing Thursday morning for a period of wintry weather. Initial snow should pretty quickly go to ice as temps rapidly warm aloft.
Then to rain south to north as the day goes on. Highest impact at the moment looks like AM commute and northern MA into NH pic.twitter.com/jJOu5Jhehn

Snow and ice for a morning commute? Looking likely Thursday morning before going over to rain. Commute-wise, some messy weather around Thursday and Friday with snow/ice chances highest Thursday morning, and heavy rain likely by Friday morning. pic.twitter.com/RnZ1zltqAT
