Another Big Storm Bears Down On New England

Winter-weary New England, which has been battered recently by a series of major snowstorms, braced Sunday for even more.

Light flurries fell in the morning, but the “long duration” storm is expected to intensify on Sunday night. The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings for central New York, the western Catskills and much of New England through early Tuesday.

The snow is likely to cause problems for commuters on Monday, though it’s not expected to accumulate as rapidly as in some of the earlier storms, including a record-busting late January blizzard. There also is little risk seen of significant coastal flooding, a problem during last month’s winter blasts.

But an increase in sales isn’t all he is looking forward to. “I also love to ski, so as soon as this next mess is over with, I’m taking off and going north,” he said.
