Winter Weather Strikes Easton

While most of the snowfall is over and there is no longer a sever weather alert issued in Easton, the first accumulating snow of the season had its lasting effects.

That National Weather Service, based in Taunton, issued a winter weather advisory Monday night through 5 a.m. Tuesday morning, with an estimated total night-time snow accumulation reaching 2-4 inches.

"A winter weather advisory is issued when snow and/or ice is expected to forecast to develop in the affected areas, but accumulations are expected to be light," the National Weather Service said in a statement.

The weather service said conditions would make driving conditions "difficult, but not impossible" on untreated roadways or sidewalks. The weather service warned people to be careful on bridges and overpasses.

"The problem is, with temperatures all in the 20's, when you get to be this cold, it is allowing for snow covered roads," CBS Boston's Joe Joyce said in his evening forecast.

Effects of the snowstorm were seen during Monday afternoon and evening in Easton.

At 2:22 p.m., the fire and police department received a call about a motor vehicle accident on Turnpike Street on route 138. A fire engine and ambulance responded. While one person was injured, the patient refused transport to the hospital.

Shortly after, just before 3 p.m., a motor vehicle accident was reported on Foundry Street near . No injuries were reported. A few short minutes later, an accident was reported on route 138 near the Raynham-Taunton Dog Track. No injuries were reported.
