BOSTON (WHDH) - A winter weather advisory is still in effect for much of western Massachusetts after a wintry mix created slick driving conditions during the Thursday morning commute.
Snow and sleet began falling during the early morning hours and left behind an accumulation of an inch or less throughout most of the Bay State.
The Mass. Department of Transportation reported that more than 1,000 crews were out treating and clearing state roads.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until 7 a.m. Friday for parts of Middlesex, Hampden, Hampshire and Worcester counties.
A high wind warning has also been issued until 7 p.m. for parts of Bristol and Plymouth counties. A wind advisory has been issued for much of the state.
The storm transitioned to rain around 9 a.m., with freezing rain still falling in Central and Western Massachusetts.
A second wave of low pressure is then projected to move into the region, delivering heavier rain Thursday night into Friday morning.
Saturday is expected to be seasonable and dry but Sunday will bring another chance for snow.
