BOSTON — Snowflakes fell over downtown Boston on Friday morning, the first of the season for the city, as a November nor'easter brought a cold, windy rain to most of eastern Massachusetts.

WCVB meteorologist A.J. Burnett posted video on X showing snow falling over the Boston skyline just before 8 a.m. The footage came from a camera about 600 feet up, on top of One Financial Center, Burnett said.

Nothing stuck in the city. For most of Greater Boston the storm was mainly a cold rain, NBC Boston reported. Precipitation was expected to move out late in the morning, according to WCVB.

Snow was more likely in higher elevations west of the city. Forecasters expected the first snow of the season Friday in central and western Massachusetts, and NBC Boston said some communities toward the Worcester Hills could see a coating. Closer to Boston, NBC10 meteorologist Pete Bouchard said flakes could mix with rain near Interstate 495 at times, but no accumulation was expected.

Friday's flakes don't count as Boston's first measurable snow, which requires at least a tenth of an inch at Logan International Airport. On average, that arrives around Nov. 28, according to WBZ-TV.

The storm also brought gusty winds, with Cape Cod and the Islands expected to see the strongest gusts, and temperatures in Boston were forecast to top out in the mid-40s.

The Signal reported earlier this week that the late-week storm could bring the first snowflakes to parts of New England.
