Fall River area could see first snowfall since spring this upcoming weekend

Some of us love it and some of us hate it, but it is a fact of life in Massachusetts that it will snow. Fall River could see its first snowfall since the spring this weekend.

According to the National Weather Service Boston, the Fall River area could see its first snowfall of the season.
