State police enforced a 40 mph speed limit on the highway. Tandem-axle trailers and propane tankers were prohibited from traveling on the highway.

The evening commute on the Pike in Framingham was brought to a slow crawl. Minor crashes were reported due to low visibility and the snow-covered roadway.

Parts of the MetroWest, Worcester County and points in western Massachusetts were expected to see at least six inches of snow by the time the storm wrapped up.

Salt and sand trucks will be out in full force overnight because the snow is expected to change over to rain.
