ANDOVER, MASS. (WHDH) - Saturday morning’s storm was just a warm-up for the heavy snowstorm that Merrimack Valley residents saw overnight.
Heavy snow created difficult driving conditions, including on Interstate 495 where cars could be seen driving slow on the slick highway.
Plow operators on the side roads in town attempted to keep up with the snowfall but streets were quickly covered again because the flakes are coming down so fast.
Jacob Anderson, a plow operator in the area, urged drivers to take caution.
“Take your time,” he said. “Please don’t crowd the plows. We do have trouble sometimes with people trying to pass us and we’d appreciate if you can stay back a little bit and let us do our job.”
Power outages and downed trees could be an issue as the heavy snow piles up on wires and branches.
Andover has received 10 inches of snow as of 8:30 a.m.
