Initially, the snow may be heavy and wet when it changes over, but should transition to a lighter and fluffier snow this afternoon. - For Hartford to Worcester, including surrounding towns, an inch or two of snow, along with a period of sleet/ice pellets, will result in slippery travel - Strong northwest winds 40 to 50 mph late this afternoon into early Sunday, may result in minor wind damage such as some downed branches/tree limbs and wires. The strongest winds and any wind damage may be focused in western sections of MA/CT including the CT River Valley Rob Megina & Frank Nocera If you have any questions or would like more information, don't hesitate to contact us via this email address, on NWSChat <https://nwschat.weather.gov/>, or at the following: National Weather Service Boston/Norton, MA 46 Commerce Way Norton, MA 02766 508.622.3280 Website <http://www.weather.gov/boston> | Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/NWSBoston> | Twitter <http://www.twitter.com/NWSBoston>
