DEDHAM, Mass. — Towns and cities across Massachusetts ushered in the start of 2026 with some fresh snow.
Wintry weather moved across the region late New Year’s Eve, and it persisted into New Year’s Day morning, with blinding snow squalls at times. The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for many areas.
