3 Mondays, 3 straight snow storms bury the Northeast

This is the continuing story of the Winter of 2015.

Boston is in the cross hairs again, but winter storm warnings are in place across large portions of the Northeast, including Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

The National Weather Service forecasts 12 to 18 inches of snow by the time the storm ends Tuesday. For Upstate New York, the numbers are 9 to 18 inches.

The weather forced big Massachusetts trials to be delayed.

The murder trial of former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was postponed until Tuesday, while jury selection in the trial of Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was also delayed.
