“Earlier, there weren’t a lot of plows, so the roads were pretty bad,” she said.
Spinouts were reported due to the conditions, including one caught on video on Interstate 95 in Attleboro.
Marc Orso of Reheboth said he saw a bad accident on that highway.
“I actually came on 95, and there was a really bad accident right before I got to the Norwood area,” he said.
Those planning to shovel their driveways or clean off their cars will have a chance to do so Monday before the expected arrival of more snow Tuesday.
