The final month of meteorological winter looks to be fairly active with several chances of snow and ice from the Ohio Valley to the Northeast. On the southern end of the frontal boundaries, heavy rainfall and thunderstorms will be likely across the Gulf Coast.

The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

The Boston 25 Weather team is closely tracking a system that could bring up to 5 inches of snow and icy driving conditions on Thursday before an eventual flip to rain in some places.
