...SLIPPERY TRAVEL POSSIBLE THIS MORNING...

Scattered snow showers are expected to persist across Southern
New England into the early to mid morning hours. Snowfall will
be light with additional accumulations of a coating up to an
inch, mainly away from the immediate coast as milder temperatures
near the coast will result in a mix of rain and snow. Patchy
freezing drizzle and/or freezing fog could also lead to light
icing, in addition to slippery spots or patchy black ice on area
roads from residual moisture. Motorists should exercise caution.
