East Coast Braces for Yet Another Winter Storm

A severe winter storm is expected to hit much of the East Coast for the second time in a week, bringing heavy snow and frigid conditions to areas that are still recovering from last week’s nor’easter.

The storm has already brought heavy snow to the Mountain states and is currently hammering the northern Plains and upper Midwest.

Winter storm watches are in effect from northeast Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey into parts of southeast New York and New England. Cities expected to be affected include Albany, Boston, Hartford, New York City, and Portland, Maine.

The New York metropolitan area can expect to see anywhere from six to nine inches (15 to 23 centimeters) of snow starting late Tuesday night. Some areas may see as much as 12” (30.5 centimeters).

Expect hazardous travel conditions and numerous flight cancellations and delays
