BOSTON (AP) After cold and snow that set February records, southern New England entered March with another round that could push Boston over its 20-year-old snowfall record.

With 102 inches, Boston needs 5.7 more to break the 1995-1996 record of 107.6.Snowfall of 4 to 6 inches was expected by early Monday across the area, with up to 8 inches in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Less is expected in northern Massachusetts and New York state, and on Cape Cod."We have come this far, we might as well break the record," said William Babcock, National Weather Service meteorologist in the Taunton, Massachusetts office. "We have a couple of storms to push us over the record. Once that is done we won't complain if we don't get any more snow."Since it's early March, "we still have plenty of time," he said.The snow Sunday into Monday will be wetter than those earlier in the season, continuing the concern about potential roof collapses."If you have flat roofs, it is certainly going to add to the weight," Babcock said.Elsewhere, heavy snow was expected in the central Rockies and Great Basin and heavy rain was predicted in parts of the Southwest. Snow was falling from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast, with freezing rain in the Mid-Atlantic.@Section Head:Local forecastSlippery conditions remained this morning with temperatures in the mid and upper 20s to around freezing this morning across the area.We'll get the next round of weather Tuesday, with snow, sleet and freezing rain starting in the afternoon into Tuesday night.Snowfall is forecast to be 1 to 3 inches with a light coating of ice up to a tenth of an inch.
