New York Times - A winter storm is expected to slam much of the Northeast United States with heavy snow — more than a foot in some areas — starting Monday night and continuing through Tuesday, forecasters said.
The storm could also bring a messy mix of ice and snow to several other states, from northeastern Oklahoma east through the Ohio Valley, creating particularly hazardous driving conditions.
Here’s what to know:
At least six inches of snow was expected by Tuesday night across parts of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Vermont, the National Weather Service said.
The heaviest snowfall was predicted from the Poconos through Downeast Maine, which could receive five to 10 inches of snow between Monday night and Tuesday night. Higher elevation areas could see more than a foot, the service said.
Freezing rain could cause icing beginning Monday morning in Oklahoma and Arkansas. The greatest risk of icing was expected across the central and southern Appalachians.
Areas from southwestern North Carolina through western Virginia and into western Maryland could accumulate a quarter-inch of ice Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Rain and light snow had already begun to fall in parts of New England and New York as of early Monday morning, according to the Weather Service. In New York City, some rain is expected starting Tuesday morning, with little to no snow accumulation, the Weather Service said.
