BOSTON—More snow will likely blanket New England this weekend even as the region shoveled and scraped its way out Friday after the biggest snowstorm this winter hit the Northeast.

The National Weather Service forecast several more inches of snow on Saturday for the region and predicted possible accumulations by Monday of up to 9 inches in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and up to 18 inches in the northern three states.

“There’s going to be a significant event in the states of Maine and New Hampshire, no question about that,” said James Brown, a weather service meteorologist in Gray, Maine.

The heaviest snows were expected to begin Sunday.

Nathan Trimble looked around his Providence, Rhode Island, street Friday and said it already looked like a wilderness scene from the Leonardo DiCaprio movie “The Revenant.” He did not like the idea of even more snow.

“I’m just not looking forward to digging out,” he said. But “I’ve lived in New England my whole life, so we'll deal with it.”

In Thursday’s storm, East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and East Hartford, Connecticut, hit the jackpot, each with 19 inches of snow. In New York, Voorheesville and New Scotland got 18 inches.
