Special Weather Statement Issued

...FLASH FREEZE EXPECTED INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS... A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT WAS JUST WORKING INTO NORTHWEST MASSACHUSETTS AND SOUTHWEST NEW HAMPSHIRE AT MID EVENING. BEHIND THIS STRONG COLD FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL CRASH AND QUICKLY FALL BELOW FREEZING. RAIN MAY TRANSITION TO A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLEET/FREEZING RAIN BEFORE CHANGING TO ALL SNOW. WHILE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN NH/NORTHWEST MA...THE REST OF THE REGION WILL PROBABLY SEE JUST AN INCH OR TWO. TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY FALL BELOW FREEZING BY MIDNIGHT ACROSS ALL OF SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE...WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS AND NORTHERN CONNECTICUT. THIS FREEZE LINE SHOULD THEN REACH THE BOSTON TO PROVIDENCE CORRIDOR BY 1 OR 2 AM...AND ONTO THE SOUTH COAST/CAPE AND ISLANDS BY 4 OR 5 AM. THE MAIN CONCERN IS NOT SNOW AMOUNTS...BUT A RAPID FREEZE UP OF WET ROADS AS TEMPERATURES PLUMMET. LIGHT SNOW FALLING ON TOP OF THAT MAY HIDE SOME OF THE ICE BENEATH IT. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE ONE OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT FLASH FREEZES WE HAVE SEEN IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND. ROADS AND WALKWAYS MAY BECOME VERY TREACHEROUS...WITH ICY CONDITIONS PERSISTING INTO THE THURSDAY MORNING COMMUTE. Even though this is technically for just northern areas, please consider this for everyone!
