Update 9:00 p.m.: Still barely a dusting of new snow here, although the freezing temperatures has created a lot of black ice. WBZ has adjusted its snowfall forecasts and has us closer to the 3 inches mark. And WHDH has moved us to 1-to-3 inches. And WCVB has knocked us down from 6-10 inches to 2-to5 inches.
