(Undated)  — The snows continue to fall in Franklin and Hampshire counties. Snow began falling heavily overnight and is expected to continue through early afternoon. Road conditions were bad enough to convince state transportation officials to issue a ban on tractor trailers, tandem trailers and special permit vehicles on all limited access highways in Massachusetts from 9 last night until 9 this morning. We could see as much as 18 to 24 inches of snow in parts of the region before it all wraps up later today.
