[Overnight into Tuesday] Ice accumulation is the biggest threat from this winter storm. Areas that see the greatest icing threat are the eastern slopes of the Berkshires & the higher elevation of Worcester County. Timing, late tonight through Tuesday morning #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx 🚨 pic.twitter.com/KCA9cuv76W

Eric Fisher, WBZ: ‘Heading past midnight, all eastern MA spots begin creeping up over the freezing mark. ‘
One other way to look at tonight. It will be icy everywhere except SE Mass to start. Be real careful with an icy glaze out there. Heading past midnight, all eastern MA spots begin creeping up over the freezing mark. By the morning, the only impact left will be the interior hills pic.twitter.com/fQcakELHIq

Graphics…even better. Same idea…most significant icing across the higher elevations of Worcester County, Monadnock Region, and east slopes of the Berkshires. It’s not major ice storm territory, but enough for dangerous travel and some sct’d outages. #wbz pic.twitter.com/bRVmNSpR0n

A.J Burnett, WCVB: ‘It’ll be the bridges and overpasses that could get a little slick’
🧊Heads up! It’ll be the bridges and overpasses that could get a little slick later this evening, perhaps for your ride home from work. Then, more rain tonight that will freeze in higher elevations NW of 495 (above 600′).#WCVB pic.twitter.com/BAzeqUDhVa

Josh Wurster, 7 News: ‘If you travel tomorrow, don’t let the temp fool you!’
Patchy freezing drizzle this evening, really fills in after midnight.
Ice for a few hours overnight before flipping to rain by AM commute tomorrow for most of us.
Outside of 495, especially S. NH, NW Middlesex County, N Worcester County… frz. rain lingers until mid morning. pic.twitter.com/h3kH43lAIV
