SPRINGFIELD — A Nor'easter dumped between 5-7 inches of wet, heavy snow on the greater Springfield area on Saturday, but the worst seems to be over, for now.

According to meteorologist Mike Skurko of CBS 3 Springfield, media partner to The Republican/ MassLive.com, there was still a storm lingering in the hill towns as of 4 p.m. and another small coating of snow is possible.

"After 7 p.m. or so, we'll be in the clear," Skurko said. "There are no finalized snowfall reports available at this point, but generally speaking, from the heavier stuff this morning, we had 5-7 inches across Springfield area. Up in Franklin County, they only saw about 2-4 inches."

And although the snow caused many Pioneer Valley residents to spend at least part of their day shoveling the heavy precipitation, Sunday is looking clear and sunny.

"Sunday and Monday both look like nice days, so the weekend's not a total loss," Skurko said.

According to the Massachusetts State Police, the speed limit on the Mass. Pike was raised from 40 to 55 miles per hour around 3:30 p.m. as the storm moved on. The exception was between Exit 6 and Exit 11.The restriction on tandem-trailers and propane transports had also been lifted though.

With an eye toward the coming week, Skurko said Bay State residents should be ready for another storm on Tuesday. He said it's too early to tell how much snow we're looking at, but another round of winter weather is coming.

"We have a couple storms coming in this week. I think Tuesday could be problematic across southern New England. The hardest hit areas will probably be east of Interstate 91. Another 5-7 inches is definitely a possibility for Tuesday," Skurko said. "But out on The Cape and in the greater Boston area, they could have blizzard-like conditions. About 72 hours out, we'll have a clearer picture of accumulation."

Primary roads around Western Massachusetts were in good shape with few accidents reported due to Saturday's Nor'easter. Some secondary roads were still sloppy, but crews were out working to clear the pavement as the sun set on the Pioneer Valley.
