A major winter storm that has created chaos from the Midwest to the Northeast will slam Boston and southern New England with heavy snow tonight.

A winter storm that dumped up to a foot of snow on local ski slopes over the past two days has moved out, but another system is headed for Aspen Friday night. So are plummeting temperatures and a brutal wind chill.
