Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘Very slick overnight with light icing’
Back edge of the steadier stuff now moving east across the CT River Valley. Getting spotty in SE Mass, too. Will stay very slick overnight with light icing. #wbz pic.twitter.com/5CS5lPs7Fn

Yesterday we did a lot of chatting about soundings and dry air aloft that cuts off good snowflake growth. Here it is in real-time observation. The initial shield of snow turns spotty…creating light overnight mix instead of quality snow. pic.twitter.com/KuSw03qCyO

Snowfall totals reminder. Not expecting much but enough for some slick roads this afternoon/evening. Then it’ll taper to a mix of light snow/freezing drizzle/sleet pellets overnight that’ll keep things icy. #wbz pic.twitter.com/VLVNnLwLLE

4pm TUE..as for snowfall forecast, same general idea as yesterday. Highest amounts in Worcester county (and Berkshires). 1-3″ for much of the region by early Wednesday morning. #7news pic.twitter.com/QegRCx7GzM

Travel will deteriorate mid to late evening, especially on 2ndary roads & side streets. Conditions improve (but not to normal) by the Wednesday morning commute. Allow extra time for early Wednesday morning travel. #7news pic.twitter.com/GsTGoVNK7p
