Nor'easter Leaving Roads Slick

National Weather Service says 2 to 4 inches of snow possible.

An early November nor'easter brought the season's first snow locally today -- and possibly 2 to 4 inches before becoming rain and sleet, and then rain, early Thursday, the National Weather Service reports.

The speed limit on the Massachusetts Turnpike was reduced to 40 mph from the New York border to Westborough around 3 p.m., the Massachusetts Department of Transportation tweeted.

The snow began falling earlier in the afternoon, but intensified as area schools let out.
