Boston finally saw its first snow of the winter Sunday evening, and the wintry mix caused crashes all over the state.

Western Massachusetts saw the most snow by far, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), with eastern Lenox recording nine inches by Monday at 12:30 a.m.

In central and eastern Massachusetts, towns saw as little as half an inch and as much as four inches of snow.

Snow has come to an end for everyone except the immediate south shore and parts of Cape Cod where "ocean effect" snow showers continue for the next few hours. #MAwx #CTwx #RIwx pic.twitter.com/FFGmu9mYwk

Despite the relatively small amounts of accumulation, officials reported serious car crashes as early as 5 p.m. that shut down highways in Belmont, Wellesley, Methuen, Merrimac, and in Nashua, New Hampshire.

NBC10 Boston also reported serious crashes in Newton and Billerica.
