Actually, we did have a heavier ride today than yesterday.  I just wanted to capitalize on the "snow way" pun.  

So, the flurries did not do much to bother traffic this morning.  The roads were just wet.  We did see more volume today than yesterday, and we had the usual delays and some accidents.  Route 3 North was a trouble spot after an accident occurred at Union Street in Braintree.  Traffic was jammed from Route 228. 

There were also two separate rollovers on Route 24 North at Padelford Street.   Congestion backed up about two miles or so, but quickly eased once the crashes cleared.

I'm sure walking was a lot more difficult than driving with a thin coat of snow and ice blanketing the sidewalks.  The problem with falling on ice is that the fall never quite seems to end, you know?  You fall and then keep sliding and spinning (endlessly, it seems) until you hit something in your path.  It's neither fun nor particularly graceful.

One good thing about this morning's weather is that it was cloudy.  Solar glare would have been intense today with the sun's reflection off freshly fallen snow.  Make sure those sunglasses are at the ready for those sunny days after a snowstorm!

JC Monahan is forecasting an artic blast for later this week.  We are in for our share of breakdowns when that happens.
