Snow Surprise North of Boston

This: snow in Massachusetts in late October! Residents of Essex County were treated to a rare sight this Monday morning as flurries danced through the skies of Amesbury, Groveland, and Danvers. However, there was no need to pull out the winter gear just yet, as no snow accumulation was reported. Interestingly, this snowfall happened along with smoke from nearby wildfires blanketing the North Shore and Boston's metro area due to mild drought conditions. It's like nature decided to give us a little bit of everything at once!Weather forecasters are hinting that more precipitation is on the way, but this time, it will be rain. Starting Tuesday evening, a warm front will bring along some rain showers, with potential totals reaching up to 0. 25 inches in isolated areas. Later in the week, another cold front is expected to bring more rain late Thursday into Friday. This unexpected mix of snow and rain is something to ponder. It serves as a reminder that nature has its own schedule and can sometimes surprise us with unique weather patterns.
