School Delays Across Region Due to Slick Road Conditions Hundreds of schools across the region faced delays this morning as icy road conditions persisted following an overnight storm. The slick conditions, exacerbated by glaze ice, prompted widespread disruptions to morning commutes and school schedules. Officials urged drivers to exercise caution as the weather system continued to impact transportation networks. The storm brought additional snowfall to several towns, with Portland, Maine; Greenfield, Massachusetts; and Woodford, Vermont, receiving up to 5 inches of snow overnight. These areas reported the highest snowfall totals, contributing to the hazardous driving conditions. A detailed breakdown of the overnight snowfall can be found in the provided link. Multiple crashes were reported early Wednesday across Massachusetts, including incidents in Danvers, Revere, Attleboro, and Westborough.
