Another Boston Blizzard

BOSTON (AP) — Frigid cold nipped at New England after the region's fourth winter storm in a month blew through, piling another foot of snow on top of 6-foot-high mounds in Boston, and forecasters said another winter blast might hit midweek.

New Englanders were talking in superlatives — harshest, most relentless — with a winter that has tested their mettle. Forecasters warned Sunday of exceptionally cold air, perhaps the coldest in years. Strong winds were expected to continue into Monday, reducing visibility, creating drifts and complicating an ongoing cleanup effort.

"It's historic," Frank Libby said as he walked down a deserted street in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. "I think we're in uncharted territory. People just don't know how to deal with the logistics of it."

Some areas of New England reported nearly 2 feet of snow from the storm including Acushnet, Massachusetts, with 22 inches, and Salisbury with 20.5 inches. Boston recorded 13 inches of new snow. At the easternmost tip of Maine, Lubechad had 2 feet. With many intersections already clogged by soaring snow banks, forces mobilized before the storm to remove piles of snow.
