National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters warn that a powerful winter storm will hammer a lot of the Northeast U.S. with heavy snowfall — over a foot in some locations — beginning Monday night and lasting into Tuesday.
The system is also expected to deliver a treacherous mix of snow and ice across a wide swath from northeastern Oklahoma eastward into the Ohio Valley, leading to especially dangerous road conditions.

It’s being predicted by the NWS that the heaviest snowfall will be from the Poconos into Downeast Maine, with five to 10 inches expected between Monday night and Tuesday night. Areas of higher elevation could witness accumulations exceeding a foot.
