First snow of season: Flakes flying in some parts of Mass. on Wednesday
The start of November is bringing snowflakes to some parts of Massachusetts on Wednesday morning.
Little to no accumulation is expected, but higher elevations across western and central Massachusetts, the Merrimack Valley, and parts of the North Shore could see light snow or a mix of rain with flurries.
“A distant ocean storm will graze the area with rain late tonight and tomorrow,” Boston 25 Meteorologist Shiri Spear wrote in her latest weather blog. “It will actually be cool enough for snow to fall or mix with the rain at times, though accumulation is unlikely.”
We have a few showers in the forecast today. Although flurries may mix in or fall in some towns, NO ACCUMULATION is expected! @boston25 #mawx #newengland pic.twitter.com/osjuXhkgBn

While it will be too mild for the snow to stick to the ground, there may be some minor accumulation in Berkshire County and a dusting for towns in central Massachusetts, according to Spear.
Most of you will just see a few light showers and briefly damp roads today. A patchy coating is possible in the Berkshires and highest elevations of southern #NewEngland. @boston25 pic.twitter.com/5LIq3bTGCT
