"Any snow or ice would make driving and walking difficult," the National Weather Service reported on Wednesday morning. "When temperatures are below freezing, motorists need to be especially careful on bridges and overpasses where slippery spots can easily develop."

Those traveling for the holiday should be extremely cautious if heading north. Accumulations in Massachusetts and Northern New England could be significantly more — up to 16 inches in spots — the weather service said.
