Area braces for winter storm

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts is preparing for another round of snow in a winter that already has seen several storms.
The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for late Tuesday night through late Wednesday afternoon.
Communities including Boston, Worcester and Springfield are closing schools and banning street parking to prepare for snow removal. Boston’s Logan International Airport said crews will work to keep it open, but advised people to check with their airlines about cancellations.
Six to 12 inches of snow is expected, with 3 to 6 inches in southeastern areas before a changeover to sleet and rain. The higher elevations of the Berkshires in western Massachusetts could see up to 15 inches.
The worst conditions are expected Wednesday morning. The snow is expected to taper off by early afternoon in eastern areas, lingering in northern Massachusetts until evening.
A parking ban is in effect for the City of Westfield as of 7 a.m. Wednesday, meaning there is no on-street parking until further notice.
