BRAINTREE, MA — A winter storm rolled into Massachusetts around midday Monday and is expected to last until Tuesday afternoon.

Snow picked up in Braintree around 2 p.m. Monday, and the town could get several inches of heavy snow when it's all said and done early Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. But although some snow showers are in the forecast Tuesday, most of the precipitation is expected to be rain and sleet.

The school district will have a traditional snow day Tuesday and the city put in place a parking ban beginning Monday afternoon.
