12 meteorologists said there wasn't much
accumulation, but the snow could slow down motorists due to slippery conditions
caused by wet leaves and water pooling on the roads.

Although it wasn’t quite cold enough for snowflakes to stick on the pavement, there was some snow
sticking on grassy surfaces.
State police issued a reminder on Facebook to alert everyone to keep their headlights
on, along with their windshield wipers.
Drivers were seen on Route 17 driving slowly because visibility was very low.
Some residents say they were shocked to see the snow this morning. “It brings
me right back to childhood, so it was exciting for me,” says commuter Kieran
Begley.
