"This is likely to be the biggest storm of the season to date for central New England, including the Boston area and northern parts of Connecticut and Rhode Island," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist and New England native Joe Lundberg.
In those spots, up to 6 inches or more of snowfall is possible. Several inches of snowfall is expected elsewhere in the region.
