As winter's grip on Massachusetts loosens only reluctantly, a new system moves in from the west to remind the region that the season is not yet finished. On Monday afternoon and evening, rain and snow will settle across the Commonwealth with unequal weight — sparing the coast but pressing harder on the inland hills and valleys of Worcester County. The storm arrives not as a singular event but as one more layer in a long winter's accumulation, falling atop ice and snowpack that will outlast this week's mild interlude by many weeks still.
