The storm will mark the arrival of the first of several blasts of arctic air to invade areas east of the Rockies into next week. Spotty heavy snow will fall downwind of the Great Lakes with up to a few inches of snow possible in parts of the central Appalachians and Cape Cod. Gusty winds will accompany the cold, making it feel like the temperature is well below zero in much of the Midwest. Most areas from the South to the Plains will be dry.

The region, which has already had record snow- fall, saw a dusting of snow Wednesday and can expect more light snowfall Thurs- day just in time for the eve- ning commute, according to the National Weather Service. The snow should ta- per off early Friday morn- ing, bringing Cape Cod up to 4 inches and around 2 inches elsewhere in Massa- chusetts, Rhode Island and parts of Connecticut. Forecasters are watch- ing a more potent storm that could dump higher amounts over the Valen- tine's Day weekend. The weather service says it's too early to say how much that might ultimately bring, but the Saturday to Sunday storm could bring "plow- able snow." Meteorologist Stepha- nie Dunten also warned of low temperatures Fri- day through the Presidents Day holiday on Monday. "The snow is not going to be melting anytime soon," she said Tuesday. "We recom- mend homeowners scrape any snow off their roofs to avoid overloading, as we've already seen a few roofs col- lapsing." Meanwhile, communities continue to grapple with the aftermath of back-to-back- to-back storms in a little more than a two-week span. Greater Boston's aging rail system resumed lim- ited service Wednesday af- ter shutting down com- pletely Monday evening and all day Tuesday. Wednesday commuters reported long lines, crowded trains and lengthy commutes. Massa- chusetts officials say they will be seeking federal di- saster relief funds as com- munities like Boston say they've far exceeded their snow removal budgets. Making up for lost school days has become a pressing concern for local officials and a headache for work- ing parents. Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said the city may have to consider holding classes on Saturdays or over spring break if it's forced to cancel another day of school. The city has seen an un- precedented 6 feet of snow this year over a 30-day pe- riod, breaking a record set during the epic Blizzard of 1978, and has canceled school on eight days. Boston has already ex- tended the school year to June 30 and expects to hold classes on two Suffolk County holidays: Evacua- tion Day on March 17 and Bunker Hill Day on June 17. Suffolk County encom- passes Boston and three suburbs. "If we miss one more school day, we're in differ- ent territory," Walsh said Tuesday at a City Hall brief- ing. "We have no place to make it up." Jeff Mulqueen, superin- tendent of the Pentucket Regional School District, which covers three Massa- chusetts communities near the New Hampshire state line, says he'll be develop- ing a plan to make up for lost class time after shut- ting down the district for the rest of this week. "The winter is not over and we are considering ways to be proactive," Mul- queen said, noting the dis- trict has already shifted the last day of school to June 29 for high school students and June 25 for elementary and middle school students. "All possible options are being considered. That in- cludes holidays, Saturdays, April vacation, and non-tra- ditional alternatives." Not all school districts are in the same boat: A number of communities start school in the middle of August, giving them the ability to add more days to the end of the school year. At the same time, Gov. Charlie Baker acknowl- edges most cities and towns can't go past June 30 even if they want to because of the way union contracts are structured. He said districts should consider creative so- lutions, including online teaching options. "What you don't want to end up doing is putting a whole bunch of communi- ties that have planned for and anticipated this in a dif- ficult spot," Baker said Tues- day. "I think that this one's going to require a lot more conversation." In Whitman, Mass., Tina Vassil said managing four children has been chal- lenging even though she has the benefit of working in the school system and can stay home when classes are cancelled, as they were Wednesday. "It's been tricky, espe- cially with our two lit- tle kids, who are four and five years old," she said. "It doesn't matter when you put them to bed. They get up early and they want to be entertained all day...You can't turn your back on them for a second."
