A winter storm warning and a wind advisory is in effect for Lexington.
Although initial forecasts predicted mostly rain for the Boston area, Lexington residents woke up to snow falling but not necessarily accumulating this morning. So, how much snow will Lexington get?

Expect mostly rain in the city and snow outside of 495.
A nor'easter will kick up winds and rain throughout the region today, with sleet and snow likely west of Boston and in the higher elevations. According to WHDH meteorologist Chris Lambert, the precipitation should start between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., which would impact the afternoon commute. Atmospheric conditions may convert falling rain into snow in Boston, though that would mean merely a dusting on grass before quickly melting away. The actual rain/snow line is harder to predict. "I don't expect much, if any accumulation in the Boston area, maybe a slushy coating around Rte. 128 on grassy surfaces as rain and snow battle it out for a few hours in the early evening," wrote Lambert on the 7 Weather Blog. "The snow will lose that battle to …

Lexingtonians woke up to something quite scary on Friday - SNOW - and news of a weekend nor'easter expected to dump 2-4 inches more before its departure on Sunday morning. Although it's not unusual to see a few flakes towards the end of October, many believe a sizeable snowfall and nor'easter before Halloween signal a harsh winter to come. With the fall season still in full swing (we're not even near peak color!), the possibility of power outages due to weight of snow on tree limbs is high. Scary though the forecast may be, it's nothing in comparison to some of the incredible Halloween displays that families and businesses around Lexington have created. There is even a carved pumpkin in the window of the Rectory at St. Brigid's Church!
