BOSTON (AP) — Just as southern New England residents have finished
digging out from the latest storm, forecasters say more snow is on the way.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Stephanie Dunten said Tuesday the
region, which already has seen record snowfalls, is on track to see a
fairly weak system bring 2 to 4 inches of new snow to many Massachusetts
and Rhode Island communities. It's expected to happen Thursday into
Friday morning.

The snowfall will vary: Cape Cod could see up to six inches while
western Massachusetts and portions of Connecticut could get 1 to 3 inches.

Forecasters also are watching a much larger storm that could dump higher
amounts Sunday into Monday. Dunten said it's too early to say how much
that might ultimately bring.

She also warned of bitterly cold temperatures Friday through the
President's Day weekend. "The snow is not going to be melting anytime
soon," Dunten said. "We recommend homeowners scrape any snow off their
roofs to avoid overloading, as we've already seen a few roofs collapsing."


It is getting ridiculous. Roads aren't bad due to the good work by town
public works departments and contractors but those of us with long driveways are hurting.

Our town requires that horse "droppings" and mucked stall bedding be put
into private dumpsters for disposal. Ours is usually picked up every two
weeks but the Waste Management truck can no longer get up our driveway
and maneuver to raise it and dump it. I've done my best with the truck
and tractor to keep the driveway clear but I've run out of places to pick
up and pile the snow and the piles I've made limit the
refuse truck driver's ability to maneuver. I really need a big,
commercial front end loader at this point.

I am going out in a while to see if I can find a good sized snowblower for sale anywhere.

One of the Canadian railroads has a jet engine mounted to a tractor that is
used as a snow blower. Maybe you can rent it. 😀
