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

Not a lot of snow by New England standards but it’s been forever since we had snow during an evening commute or a morning commute, so you know it’ll be impactful in some regard. Snows at a pretty good clip this evening, then gets way lighter after midnight. pic.twitter.com/SeOpv9Id2x
