A storm arriving in the region late Thursday and lasting off and on through Friday night will most likely bring 2 to 4 inches of snow to Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, said Frank Nocera, a se- nior meteorologist at the National Weather Service. Eastern Massachu- setts, including Boston and Cape Cod, has an "outside chance" of seeing up to six inches — adding signifi- cantly to the 2 to 3 feet of snow already dumped in parts of Massachusetts ear- lier this week, Nocera said. Forecasters are also monitoring a storm head- ing into the region over the weekend. Depending on how it tracks, that storm could bring several more inches of snow — or snow turning into rain — from late Sun- day into Monday in Con- necticut, Rhode Island and southeastern Massachu- setts, Nocera said. But, he stressed, it's still too early to say for sure what Sunday will bring. "There's still some uncer- tainty," Nocera said. "Nei- ther storm will be close in magnitude to the one we just had, but there's really no place to put additional snow. Even 2 to 4 inches will be an inconvenience." Meanwhile, the National Weather Service warned of bitter cold temperatures in the coming days. Single-digit temper- atures were forecast for Wednesday night. On Sat- urday, wind chills could make it may feel as low as minus-5 degrees Fahrenheit across southern New Eng- land. During the blizzard that pounded New England Mon- day and Tuesday, the cen- tral Massachusetts city of Worcester saw a record 34.5 inches, according to the Na- tional Weather Service. Boston saw just over 24 inches, and Providence, Rhode Island, had about 19 inches. BLIZZARD New England could get 2 more rounds of snow By Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press WASHINGTON Sixteen mil- lion children were on food stamps as of last year, the highest number since the nation's economy tumbled in 2008. Numbers released by the Census Bureau Wednesday as part of its annual look at children and families show that one in five children were on food stamp assis- tance in 2014. The survey was taken last spring. The number of people re- ceiving food stamps — now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro- gram, or SNAP — spiked through the recession and has stayed at a higher level since. In the 2007 Census survey, 9 million children received SNAP assistance. Participation and spend- ing appear to be going down, though. The Con- gressional Budget Office said this week that the gov- ernment spent $76 billion on SNAP last year, down 8 percent from the year be- fore. That was the first time spending went down since the beginning of the reces- sion. Around 46.5 million peo- ple received food stamps last year, according to the Agriculture Department, which oversees the aid, up from around 26 million in 2007. Participation is ex- pected to decrease over the next 10 years, though higher food costs could keep spending up. Half of the children re- ceiving food stamps in the Census survey — 8 million — were living only with their mothers. Around 5 million children receiving food stamps lived with mar- ried parents. The spike in food stamp spending has caught the attention of Congress, and House Republicans tried to cut the program by around $4 billion a year in 2013. In an eventual compro- mise, Congress agreed to cuts of around $800 mil- lion a year, policy that was signed into law by Presi- dent Barack Obama early last year as part of a larger farm bill. 16 MILLION Census reports 1 in 5 children on food stamps The Associated Press TAMPA, FLA. Bart the cat was hit by a car, bur- ied and seemingly crawled back from the dead. Earlier this month, a car hit the 1 ½-year-old cat in Tampa. Bart's owner was so distraught, he couldn't stand the thought of bury- ing him, so he asked neigh- bor to dig a shallow grave. Five days later, on Jan. 21, a matted and injured Bart emerged, meowing for food. "At first it blew me away," said Dusty Albrit- ton, the neighbor who bur- ied Bart. "All I knew was this cat was dead and 'Pet Sematary' is real.' Bart had a broken jaw, a ruptured eye and a torn-up face. He was dehydrated and hungry, but alive. Owner Ellis Hutson didn't know what to do. "It was unbelievable," he told The Tampa Bay Times. "I've never seen anything like that before." Hutson got in touch with the Humane Soci- ety of Tampa Bay, which through the Save-A-Pet Medical Fund will help cover the costs of Bart's care. On Tuesday, the cat underwent surgery to re- move an eye, wire his jaw shut and insert a feeding tube, which cost more than $1,000.
