BOSTON — Winter-weary New England braced Sunday for a storm threatening to pile up to 2 feet of snow in some areas.
As light snow fell by the afternoon, drivers were warned to stay off the roads and cancellations were posted for schools and court dockets Monday.
The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for central New York, the western Catskills and much of New England through early Tuesday.
“I’m frustrated. The last thing I want to be talking about is another 24 inches of snow. I want to move on to something else,” said Boston Mayor Marty Walsh. “It’s unprecedented. … Maybe up in Alaska or Buffalo, they have this amount of snow, and they’re used to it.”
Parts of Massachusetts have already seen more than 60 inches of snowfall over two weeks. In many communities, the problem is where to put the new snow.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do yet,” said David Lombari, public works director for West Warwick, R.I. “It’s tough trying to find a place that meets all the proper (environmental) criteria.”
