MASSACHUSETTS — After a brief reprieve on Saturday, winter weather is back on Sunday. What was initially expected to just be a dusting has turned into the possibility of up to half a foot of snowfall in parts of the state by Monday morning.

Boston saw record-breaking warmth Saturday, breaking the previous high temperature record of 58 degrees set in 1999. After a sharp drop in temperature, the snow moved in overnight.

The winter weather is expected to continue throughout the day Sunday and into early Monday morning. By the time all is said and done, parts of the state could see as much as six inches of accumulation.
