[Winter Weather Timing] Snow rapidly overspreads the region between 7-10 am Thu. The snow may be briefly heavy with 2-3" in just a couple hours. Snow then changes to sleet/light freezing rain with diminishing intensity. Temps remain near or below freezing through Thu afternoon. pic.twitter.com/fowiDAp7sG

Quick burst of snow still looking to leave 1-3" for most of us tomorrow. A few 4" possible north of MA Pike and into southern NH/VT/ME. Arrives post am commute leaves pre evening commute. Trickiest travel 10am-3pm. Not a big event. pic.twitter.com/P4qKNLmqc3

Quick burst of snow tomorrow then sleet and it ends as some freezing rain/drizzle with a light glazing. Good news is most of it occurs between commutes and school bus routes. #WeatherWisdom #Snow pic.twitter.com/qddA4wAwJI

Good Thursday morning! Snow is on the way… but so is an icy mix of sleet and freezing rain. Snow fills in quickly 8-10am with a good burst thru noon- then it changes to an icy mix and rain in SE MA. Hazardous travel expected. More snow this weekend. Forecast on #WCVB pic.twitter.com/J18KY1AAYM

Snowy Saturday night/Sunday am. Next storm has more moisture, bit farther south. Means more snow. At least several inches for most. Good shot of 6"+ where it's all snow if track stays consistent. pic.twitter.com/E7vYPm3ptD

Coating -1" near the south coast, 2-3" for Boston, MetroWest, souther/central Worcester County. 3-4" northern Mass/southern NH. Some sleet, then a glaze of ice too inland. pic.twitter.com/03nlJaGHDB

Heaviest precip tapers by 4pm, leftover coastal drizzle and freezing drizzle inland. pic.twitter.com/wTwq7POH26

Here comes the snow! Updates all day long on @NBC10Boston & on @NECN. General 2-4" across Boston today & along the Pike, less at the coast & southeast with ice mixing/changeover this afternoon. pic.twitter.com/r7senWk5AX

Snow totals won't be spectacular, but it will be quite slick from late morning through the afternoon. @boston25 #mawx #nhwx #newengland pic.twitter.com/NfU9w85OzS

About the Saturday night – Sunday snow… All models have a widespread 6-10". Totals are not set, but it does look more impactful. Stay tuned! @boston25 pic.twitter.com/cPZF52WV4s

Morning! ❄️Snow fills in this morning, slippery travel results, some mixing south. A bigger storm arrives this weekend. Be sure to let us know what you end up with later today! https://t.co/hk2nRBZWsL pic.twitter.com/pV4gOqYxcz

Haven't changed this map for tomorrow. I think most towns get 2-3", which falls in 2-3 hours for most locations before some mixing https://t.co/673tCEGga6

A quick couple inches falling tomorrow, topped with ice, will make for slippery roads. If there was a time to avoid traveling if you don't like driving in snow, 9am-2pm would be the window to avoid. #wbz pic.twitter.com/hdTP9alKg4

After tomorrow, the next storm in the pipeline looks juicier and snowier
