ANDOVER, Mass. (WHDH) – Plows were out in Andover Saturday, getting their first work of the winter. The snow was accumulating, and crews are working to clear those roads.

Some plow operators said the storm was an early Christmas present.

Conditions in the Merrimack Valley went south pretty quickly, as the light snow suddenly turned steady. The conditions made driving difficult.

Emergency responders raced to reach a rollover on Route 495 in Andover as road conditions deteriorated quickly.

Authorities have asked drivers to take it slow on the roads.
