The day after Halloween, winter has arrived in Massachusetts.
Snow has begun falling in parts of Massachusetts Wednesday, Nov. 1. Although many areas are still seeing rain.
“Radar shows rain near the Cape and Islands while further inland, light snow has been reported to be reaching the ground where temps are near freezing,” the National Weather Service posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Berkshires and Western Massachusetts are most likely to see snow Wednesday.
The National Weather Service predicted rain and snow showers before 1 p.m. in the Berkshires. More rain could continue until 5 p.m.
“Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible,” the weather service stated.
In Western Massachusetts, there was a slight chance of snow showers from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m., which was expected to be followed by rain. But it’s unlikely the snow will accumulate, the National Weather Service said.
In Central Massachusetts, there’s a chance of showers between noon to 3 p.m.
And in Boston, rain is expected after 10 a.m.
The remainder of the week is expected to be dry. However, temperatures aren’t expected to reach the 60s until Sunday.
New England’s first winter weather advisory of the season was issued for Monday as snow began falling in northern Maine.
But earlier in October, the first measurable snow of the New England season fell at 6,288 feet, the tallest point anywhere northeast of North Carolina.
Mount Washington had 0.3 inches of snow on Oct. 8. The Mount Washington Observatory shared photos of the snow covering the house and sign.
Mount Washington has been dubbed the “home of the world’s worst weather,” and it has the data to back it up. In 1934, researchers measured a windspeed of 231 miles per hour, one of the strongest ever record on this planet. The summit sees hurricane-force winds more than 100 days each year and averages about 100 inches of precipitation annually. Snow can last at the peak year round.
There is also a live stream for people to enjoy the beautiful views from the comfort of their warm homes. It also was covered in snow Monday.
