BOSTON: Steady snowfall is making for a slow and sloppy Monday morning commute across much of New England. The spring storm is expected to drop 4 to 6 inches of snow across much of eastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and northeast Connecticut, the National Weather Service said. Some areas south of Boston already had more than 3 inches of snow by 7 am. Coastal areas of New Hampshire and Maine could get a little more, up to 8 inches. Less snow is expected in New York. A little more than 3 inches had accumulated in Nassau County. New Jersey and Pennsylvania had slight accumulation on cars and grassy surfaces. Police reported several morning accidents, likely caused by slick roads. The Massachusetts Highway Department deployed more than 1,000 pieces of equipment to keep roads clear. Schools across the region either closed for the day or delayed opening by two hours. Power outages across Massachusetts were minimal, but dozens of flights in and out of Logan International Airport in Boston had been canceled. The snow is expected to taper off around midday.
