Dangerous winds, more snow move into New England, The fourth dangerous snowstorm to hit the New England area in less than a month brought with it dangerously high winds during the night as emergency crews readied themselves for the bitter cold and even more snow.

The bitter cold and more than a foot of snow is expected to pile on top of more than six feet of snow that already covers some of the area from previous storms. States from Connecticut to Maine saw temps drop into the minus 10s Sunday night.

The area is expected to see another 8 to 14 inches of snow covering the area, while parts of Maine could see an additional two feet before the storm makes its way out, weather forecasters said.

"On Sunday, the best thing people can do is stay home, stay indoors," said National Weather Service meteorologist William Babcock.

Ahead of the storm, transportation officials in the region took precautionary measures cancelling more than 400 flights at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority canceled all rail, bus and ferry service in the Boston area Sunday.

Massachusetts and Rhode Island governors both urged motorists to stay home Sunday. However, Mass. Gov. Charlie Baker stopped short of a travel ban.

"I can't stress this enough," Baker said. "Please stay off the roads ... so the crews can do the work they need to do to remove this snow."

In New Hampshire, some parts of the state is expected to receive up to 18 inches of snow. Crews quickly began to remove snow from the roof of elementary schools before the second round of a winter blast.

The bad weather going into the weekend spanned several states — winter storm warnings extended west into Michigan and Ohio, where whiteout conditions led to a pileup on the Ohio Turnpike that killed at least two people. Another storm-related crash on the New York Thruway south of Buffalo killed one person.
