Temperatures ranged from the mid 20s to around freezing. A fast moving low pressure will cross the Great Lakes into southern Ontario today, bringing mostly snow to southern New England. Most of the precipitation should be during this morning, ending from west to east. Portions of southeast Massachusetts, Cape Cod and the islands should see a mix of rain and snow late this morning before ending as rain by early afternoon. As this low pressure is moving so fast, any snow accumulations should be light. Snowfall is expected to range from 2 inches across northwest Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, to only a dusting south and east of Boston and Providence. This low pressure should reach Nova Scotia by late this evening. High pressure will start to build across southern New England for Friday into Saturday. === The weather observed at WORCESTER at 07:54 AM EST was: === The weather reported was light snow and fog.
