Most of Massachusetts is expected to receive less than an inch of snow , but higher elevations like the Worcester hills could see 2-3 inches of snow by the end of the day.
Avoid or delay traveling on the roads until any squall passes.
The best thing you can do if a snow squall occurs is to get off of the highway immediately.
