Special Weather Statement issued March 3 at 7:38PM EST by NWS Boston/Norton MA
Widespread rain and freezing rain will continue into the overnight hours...but should come to an end toward daybreak. However...residual moisture, light winds and the cold ground from our recent weather will be favorable for the formation of black ice. This may also be accompanied by some freezing fog too. Motorists traveling early Wednesday morning should allow extra time to reach their destination and be prepared for black ice. Untreated walkways and parking lots may also become very slippery for pedestrians. Temperatures should rise above freezing by mid- late Wednesday morning alleviating any black ice issues.

* WHAT...Mixed precipitation. Total snow accumulations up to two inches and ice accumulations around one-tenth of an inch. * WHERE...Portions of northern Connecticut, central, eastern, northeastern, and western Massachusetts, and northern Rhode Island. * WHEN...Until 7 AM EST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice.

About
Located on the downstream side of Knightville Dam on the East Branch of the Westfield River, this Army Corps of Engineers recreation area provides group camping and day-use facilities in the scenic Berkshire foothills. The Indian Hollow Group Campground caters to organized groups and civic organizations with dedicated camping areas, parking, bathroom facilities, showers, and drinking water. The surrounding area features miles of trails and old country roads suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding through diverse habitats of old fields and forests. The rivers and streams offer excellent trout fishing, with both spring and fall stocking by Massachusetts wildlife agencies. Hunting is permitted in designated areas during appropriate seasons, with the surrounding hills providing prime upland game habitat. The Commonwealth stocks pheasants for fall hunting season. In summer, open areas burst with wildflowers, attracting numerous songbirds and butterflies. The area is designated as a Massachusetts Watchable Wildlife site, where visitors may observe deer, coyotes, beavers, grouse, turkeys, and waterfowl. The damsite also features a picnic area with tables, grills, and a group picnic shelter.
