BOSTON (CBS/AP) — The first true nor’easter of the season is bringing snow along with strong coastal wind gusts to Massachusetts.

The snow started falling just as the evening commute began Wednesday. The storm stalled southwest of Boston and dropped heavy wet snow. Many towns had snowfall totals over 2″. Foxboro had 5.2″ as of 9:30pm.
