Wintry mix to snow could slick Boston-area commutes Thursday night into Friday

An incoming winter system for Thursday night into Friday will bring rain, then a wintry mix and snow across much of New England. The amount and type depend on how quickly cold air moves in and how heavy the precipitation is, with sleet possible near Worcester/Boston and notable travel impacts in eastern and northern Massachusetts. Snow totals may reach 2–4 inches in southern Vermont/NH and the Merrimack Valley; 1–2 inches in the Boston metro if changeover to snow is late, with less snow further south. Freezing rain could occur where surface temps hover near 32 F, while Southeastern Massachusetts faces 1–1.5 inches of rain on top of existing snow, risking localized flooding. Friday morning commutes look slick, and lingering freezing fog or drizzle could extend slick conditions. After the system, weekend looks calmer and milder with 40s–50s and a possible warm-up into the 60s next week.

The freezing rain is expected 4–7 a.m. before temperatures rise and rain resumes later in the day; Monday’s snow has largely melted, though pockets of 1–3 inches were reported in some areas.

Massachusetts endured significant power outages from the prior nor’easter, and icy conditions are possible from Missouri into northern New England, with snow likely in the Midwest moving toward D.C. and New York City by Monday. Next week could bring more storms and heavy rain to the Plains and Mississippi Valley, with potential flooding.

Fresh Northeast Snow Hits Cleanup Efforts as Last Storm Lingers

A fresh wave of light snow swept the Northeast after a historic storm left huge piles of snow from Maryland to Maine, prompting salt deployments and thousands of shovelers in cities like New York while warning of patchy ice on roads; the region also faced ongoing accessibility challenges for people with disabilities, dozens of power outages, and flight disruptions as some schools and services returned to normal amid continued snow-clearing efforts and dumping grounds for snow.
