Martha’s Vineyard accumulated a few inches of snow on Thursday night into Friday afternoon, which transformed the landscape into a scene of picturesque beauty. The snow stopped falling around 11 am and when the sun came out, so did the sleds, and even a snowboard, and a few pairs of skis. Martha’s Vineyard is expected to get 12 to 16 inches of snow on Saturday, with near blizzard conditions on Saturday night.
