Many of us outside of 495 woke up to a white ground as snow broke out for a few hours last night before flipping to rain by daybreak. Higher elevations picked up a couple of inches overnight.

On average, Worcester airport gets about 2″ each November.For those that didn’t have snow, it was a coooold rain. And on the coast, a wind-driven rain. Wind gusts on the Cape, Islands, South Shore, and Cape Ann gusted over 50 mph in many spots.The wind will back down tonight and tomorrow but won’t shut off.
