Some rain and snow pushed across the state for the morning commute, leaving roads wet for drivers, but not snow-covered. That wave of precipitation tapered off by late morning, but more wintry weather is on the way.
Wet roads in #Boston today with snow falling this morning! We'll see a second batch pass over the area just after the evening commute too. @boston25 #mawx pic.twitter.com/2wVyuKjd5U

A quick-hitting system will move in for the tail end of the evening commute and persist until about 11 p.m., bringing showers and a mix of light snow. The best chance for snow accumulation will be on roads at higher elevations, mostly on grass and untreated roads.
This morning #snow map will fade into the total through this evening. Keep in mind, many of the local roads will be WET, not snowy. @boston25 #mawx #nhwx #newengland pic.twitter.com/mBzTOh5fDI

Wednesday will be quiet, marking the calm before the next disturbance. The bigger storm threat is on Thursday, but Meteorologist Kevin Lemanowicz says the latest models are trending milder for Thursday. “Less snow but still a mess.”
Wednesday night’s snowfall will quickly turn to sleet, freezing rain, and just rain overnight into Thursday and making for icy travel conditions throughout the day Thursday.
Small adjustments more about gut and climatology at this point for me... plus the fact that I just don't see a big snow maker in southern New England in this situation. See you soon @boston25 pic.twitter.com/Gj2LiVBz5J

Two to 4 inches of snow is expected for most of the Bay State with less in southeast Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island, where it will be mainly rain or a touch of freezing rain.
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine will see mostly snowfall, with the possibility for 8 or more inches.
