The National Weather Service Boston office has issued a *Winter Storm Warning* for most of Southern New England, except for the South Souths of CT, RI, MA and the Cape and Islands.

From the NWS
"Snow will overspread the region between 1 and 4 am Friday morning. The snow will quickly become heavy falling at the rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour at times Friday morning. This will have a significant impact the Friday morning commute. The snow may change to a period of sleet near and especially south of the Massachusetts Turnpike by late Friday morning. Any mixed precipitation should change back to snow later Friday afternoon and early evening before ending."
NWS Precip End Time
The heaviest snow will fall Friday morning. Consider delaying any travel until the afternoon, if possible. If you have to be on the roads, allow yourself some extra travel time. How far north will the rain snow line venture? I still think sleet could mix in all the way to the MA/NH border.

However, anyone in the winter storm warning can expect 6-10" and 1-1.5" of sleet. The sleet will compact the snow even further, so the actual snowfall depth will be 3-6" in these places.

Is this the last of the snow for the winter? I doubt it and it wouldn't be fair to anyone if I were to jinx it.
