Images: The never-ending snow mess around Boston
After getting more than 70 inches of snow, forecasters say much of New England is on track to get more snow Thursday and Friday, with 3 inches expected in Boston and 6 or more south of the city.
A much larger storm could dump appreciably higher amounts Sunday into Monday, but meteorologists said it was still too early to say how much.
So while it's cold here in Chicago, at least we're just fighting the cold and not buried under almost 6 feet of snow.
