New England is preparing for more winter weather after an icy storm disrupted the region midweek. The recent system brought a mix of snow, ice, and freezing rain, creating hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike. Many schools across the six states faced closures and delays as districts prioritized student safety amidst slushy and icy road conditions. While snowfall totals were modest, the accumulation of light ice led to scattered power outages and numerous vehicle spinouts, impacting daily commutes and travel plans.
