1. Watch that first step this morning! While it is snowing while I write this column, it is supposed to change over to freezing rain and maybe ice after 4 a.m.

Total snow accumulation, according to the National Weather Service in Taunton, for Framingham is estimated at 1-3 inches.

Hate me if you like, but I would have liked to have seen the 4-8 inches of snow as opposed to 1-3 inches of snow followed by freezing rain. Enjoy your day and if you are looking for things to do, below are four ideas!
