This is along Route 20. And look at the snow coating all the trees. Not much accumulation on the roadways. So that was some good news, but definitely seeing some accumulation from that snow. And again, it was mainly The hill towns, the higher elevations that saw the accumulation, we pretty much just saw rain here in the valley during the duration of the storm yesterday through this morning. Still seeing a little bit of rain and snow out there right now. Let's take a look at our ESP live Doppler radar. And what we're seeing is very light. It's more like a drizzle or a mist. In the valley right now and it still could be a few flurries or snow showers mainly in the Berkshires and all of this is going to kind of wind down. It's gradually coming to an end and that will be what takes place as we head through this afternoon. So rain and snow will be ending. It'll be mostly cloudy this afternoon. The winds are going to pick up so it'll be on the breezy side. Definitely on the chilly side and that chill will be in the air tomorrow as well. A mostly cloudy day.
