Boston is slowly inching its way closer to the snowiest winter ever recorded in the city’s history. With 1 to 3 inches of snow forecasted for Thursday, Boston could surpass the 107.6 inch record by the season’s end.

The National Weather Service is predicting that the Hub will receive another 1 to 3 inches of snow on Thursday which I’m fairly certain is the last thing many residents and municipal organizations need at this point.

Since Jan. 23 Boston’s accumulation total reached of 7.5-feet and for the entire winter we’ve been subjected to over 96 inches.

With the perpetual snow emergencies and parking bans Bostonians have had to relocate their vehicles several times, tirelessly shovel out street spaces and accompanying sidewalks, and wither work from home or brave a shoddy public transit system.

The MBTA has taken torrents of winter weather abuse from Mother Nature and officials say service won’t be restored to full-on, pre-storm status for at least another month.

Snow and the cold weather have made it nearly impossible for MBTA subway trains to grip the electric third rail and accelerate, and they’ve frozen switches and pieces of track.

If another storm his this weekend – the NWS is predicting precipitation but it’s too early to determine any accumulation – it could easily undo some of the progress made by MBTA laborers who are hand shoveling out and pickaxing tracks and switches to make restore their functionality.

“And, [MBTA] officials warned, if another big storm hits the region — one is expected over the weekend — it could take even longer,” reports the New York Times.
