BOSTON (WHDH) - Another winter storm packing snow, rain, and ice is expected to arrive in Massachusetts late Wednesday night.
Snow showers will begin around 8 p.m. and linger across the region until about 1 a.m., according to meteorologist Jaisol Martinez.
Some areas will see up to two inches of snow, while most of the Bay State will see a coating.

The snow showers will then change over to sleet across northern Massachusetts and freezing rain in areas along the South Coast, South Shore, and Cape Cod.
Meteorologist Josh Wurseter called this round of winter weather a “nuisance” because ice accumulation on highways and roads is likely.
Hardly right to call this a "storm". Here's an updated snow map for Wednesday night's nuisance. Most see an inch or less by Thursday morning. pic.twitter.com/cweLvIDiP8

The worst of the weather is expected to clear out of the area in time for the height of the morning commute but those who leave early for work should beware of slick spots.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for northern and southern Berkshire counties from 7 p.m. on Wednesday to 7 a.m. on Thursday.
The storm will have just a minor impact on the rest of the state, according to meteorologist Jeremy Reiner.
