Winter Weather Advisory Wednesday Night, Thursday AM

A *Winter Weather Advisory* has been issued from 7 PM tonight until 7 AM Tuesday morning.  A light, fluffy snow will begin to fall this evening.  Snow rates will not be all that intense, so snow removal technicians will be able to keep up with it.  Most cities and towns will see 3-6".  The highest amounts will be along and north of the Pike. 

NWS Wednesday AM Headlines 

Snow falls lightly from 6 PM until 9 PM.  The roads will start to become snow covered quickly, with temperatures between 15-20 degrees.  Snow may fall moderately at times between 9 PM and 5 AM.  It will quickly taper to just snow showers between 5-8 AM, ending just before or during the AM rush.

 You can use a backpack blower or a broom to get rid of this stuff tomorrow AM.  Compared to the frozen slop we have had to clean up so far this winter, this is a welcome change.  If a heavy band of snow does indeed set up, some localized communities could see over 6".  This will be the exception, not the rule. 

NWS Boston Expected Snowfall 

I don't think this is the last snow chance of the winter.  There are several snow chances in the next 1-2 weeks.  I'll keep you posted.
