Dave Epstein: ‘Not a big deal’
Some snow arrives Tuesday late day and continues on/off through Wednesday. Not a big deal, but Wednesday AM is likely slick away from coastline. pic.twitter.com/YR8yN0NP3G

Eric Fisher, WBZ and CBS News: ‘Not much oomph behind this’
Feels like a system that will have snowflakes/mix in the air a long time, but not add up to much and be very manageable.
Best shot at road accumulation is Tuesday night but flakes/mix Wed and into Thur AM pic.twitter.com/Bb5vaOETfy

Some snow in the forecast this week, starting Tuesday afternoon/eve. More light stuff on/off Wed and Thurs, mixing with rain near the coast
Not much oomph behind this but a coating to an inch or two for most, bit more possible in the hills pic.twitter.com/gFaYBSRDCu

Zach Green, WBZ: ‘We’ll be battling accumulation on Wednesday morning’s drive’
Snow marches towards us tomorrow evening. Shouldn’t be a headache for the ride home on Tuesday, but with steady showers overnight, we’ll be battling accumulation on Wednesday morning’s drive. pic.twitter.com/XVvOO71dmT

Bright and breezy for today. Tuesday’s focus will be on a system that rolls snow into southern New England. Expect the flakes to arrive after 4pm tomorrow. Bigger impact for Wednesday morning commute. pic.twitter.com/4aNqt7sWgc

Nuisance light snow arrives between 4-6pm Tuesday. Most towns around the region end up with coating-2″. Some localized amounts of 3″ possible. Much of that snow you see on the map is on the ground by 7am Wednesday. Lingering flakes on Wednesday & even Thursday. #7news pic.twitter.com/soiOlktx55

Yeah, it’s snow. But I won’t justify it as a storm. Leaning toward the low end of these ranges. Best chance for accum. is Tue. night into Wed. AM.
