Meanwhile, a swath of the Central and Eastern U.S. was under winter weather advisory, which the NWS issues "for any amount of freezing rain, or when 2 to 4 inches of snow (alone or in combination with sleet and freezing rain), is expected to cause a significant inconvenience, but not serious enough to warrant a warning."

There is another snow storm on the way to Boston and most of Massachusetts this weekend. It's not a blizzard or a nor'easter but it will likely be more snow than we have had in one storm in years.The last time Boston received 6" or more in one storm was Feb.
