Snow and ice are kicking off March across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic as yet another winter storm moves into the area because of freezing rain.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain tracked from the southern Plains to the Ohio Valley on Saturday night, covering roads with upwards of 6 to 8 inches of snow.
Similar conditions can be expected across the Northeast on Sunday along the I-80, I-81, I-90, and I-95 corridors with western Pennsylvania picking up the highest snow accumulations.
"The heaviest snow for Boston will come Sunday night and the city's seasonal snowfall record of 107.6 inches from 1995-96 will be challenged," said AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski.
