Roads Getting Slick, Forecast Worsens for Tewksbury
Storm is making a stronger push to the north and west.
What had been forecast to be a moderate winter storm for Tewksbury and the Merrimack Valley is beginning to pickup momentum and could wind up packing a pretty good wallop.
The latest forecast from the National Weather Service is now calling for Tewksbury and the surrounding area to get 6-8 inches of snow.
Snow is expected to continue through the night and a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until Sunday at 7 a.m.
Visibility on the roads is limited and fog is expected to roll in around midnight to 2 a.m. making it worse. The low temperature tonight will be around 26 degrees. There will also be steady North winds overnight from 10 to 13 mph.

Just drove through Tewksbury, Billerica, and parts of Burlington and Bedford. Saw tons of plows, but only one was plowing the road, a huge town truck in/from Bedford. It is DANGEROUS out there. If you must, drive slow, especially if you have crappy tires, or else you may find yourself sliding around like a hockey puck on slight curves.
