According to the National Weather Service in Boston, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 7 a.m., with a light glaze of ice possible on roads and sidewalks. While snowfall has ended, freezing drizzle could create hazardous travel conditions in areas including Chesterfield and Charlemont.

Motorists are urged to reduce speeds and exercise caution, as untreated roads may become slick. Pedestrians should also watch for icy sidewalks and steps.

This advisory follows a recent winter storm that impacted Massachusetts, bringing snow and now lingering icy conditions. The wintry mix should taper off after sunrise, but early morning travelers should remain vigilant.
