Overnight Snow Turns To Sleet, Rain Sunday

The overnight storm is coming to an end over the entire area Sunday morning. The morning saw sleet and rain in the Boston area after 3-6 inches of snow fell. Near 10 inches of snow fell further west and north approaching the New Hampshire border. Most of the snow was washed away by heavy rain over Cape Cod.

Temperatures have warmed above the melting point in many areas of eastern Massachusetts but will start to fall back again late Sunday morning and early afternoon. As this happens any remaining slush and water will re-freeze solid. It may be a good idea to remove as much of the snowy mess as possible early to avoid a frozen driveway later Sunday.

Temperatures hit the 50s over parts of Cape Cod and the Islands before falling below freezing late today and this evening.

Dry and cold weather resumes Monday with a brisk wind. Another system will bring some light snow to the area on Tuesday afternoon.
