Here's my latest thinking on totals for Tuesday. 1st of the season can be tricky. Remember snow bands likely shift with data. During the day this time of year grass accumulates more than roads. Focus on idea of bands, not exact placement. Updates tomorrow. 🙏#Winter #snow

First Look: Snow totals Tuesday. Models still iffy with an active weather pattern (thanks, Polar Vortex). #Boston could see some snow, but it will likely get washed away with rain. Highest totals north & west of the city, in higher elevations.
