A winter storm warning has been issued in Massachusetts ahead of a significant winter storm expected to make for a messy Sunday night before some of the coldest air of the season moves in.

The bread, milk and eggs could be flying off the shelves at Market Basket this weekend. Local meteorologists are predicting “plowable snowfall” from Sunday night into Monday morning, as a nor’easter is expected to dump 3 to 6 inches of snow across the region.

Massachusetts could see several inches of snow this weekend from a weather system passing over the region on Sunday night, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service's Boston office.
