Crews worked in whiteout conditions Thursday in a race to clear Massachusetts roads as temperatures plummeted, threatening a flash-freeze. We re starting to catch up now, but this has been a tough storm. We re really concerned right now about this flash-freeze, Massachusetts State Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver told NBC10 Boston. The temperatures are dropping rapidly.
The season s first major storm, officially a nor easter, is expected to cover the state in 12 to 18 inches of snow when all is said and done. But the roads are expected to get worse not better despite over 3,000 pieces of equipment from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation treating roadways since Wednesday night.
