Monday's flakes brought a pretty white mess to the area.
The red lights were not festive. The winter's first flakes coated the area with a picturesque scene, but created havoc for commuters heading home Monday night. In Canton and Milton, Route 138 was a nightmare for travelers.

Traffic on 95 fared no better. A combination of snow and rush-hour traffic made for the major traffic jam. The area received about two inches of snow and the temperature felt like 13 degrees, although it reached 25 degrees, according to The Weather Channel. Canton Fire Chief Charles Doody said there were no major snow-related incidents Monday. However, …
