BOSTON – The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is advising travelers to expect a wintery mix of rain and snow which will impact travel in some regions of the state now through Saturday.  Drivers should allow extra travel time and check forecasts for their routes and destinations as this will be a long-duration storm system. Travelers should exercise caution especially in areas of higher elevation, primarily the northern and western parts of Massachusetts and along the New Hampshire border.  

MassDOT will be deploying sanders and plows as needed.  Drivers should make smart decisions about when they depart, the routes they take and allow extra time to reach destinations.
