Snow will push through the region from the morning into the afternoon. There will be some warmer temperatures trying to mix in with this set-up, which may lead to some ice and regular rain mixing in with the snow.

Snow and rain will move through New England in the evening. A secondary wave aloft brush through right on the tail end of this system, and produce a little more snow to be possibly enhanced with a bit of lake effect too. As the system moves to the east, precipitation will come to an end overnight into early Tuesday.
