A large trip from the northeast to the East Coast is expected to impact 110 million people, bringing heavy snow, rain and strong winds.
The storm will last at least until Tuesday, forecasters predict, and already poured half a foot of snow in the midwest on Sunday morning. Parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania will continue to see snow on Sunday as snow and ice travel east.
About one in three Americans is under winter storm surveillance or winter storm alert.
It will be the biggest storm in years in the Washington, DC area, where snow has already begun to fall. Residents around Baltimore and DC are expected to expect somewhere between six and eight inches of snow on Sunday, the National Weather Service said. The snow near the country’s capital is expected to end mainly at midnight.
Parts of North Carolina and Virginia also snowed, but the sharpest drop is expected in southern New England and the Three State Area.
New York City must expect snow all day on Monday, warn forecasters. The storm will also hit Poconos and much of the Hudson Valley. Northern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southern New York, and western Connecticut are expected to have 30 inches of snow and some areas will reach 45 centimeters.
On Tuesday, snow is expected to move north, covering much of New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.
“Make alternative plans for Monday now,” New York Mayor Bill de Blasio told residents of his city on Sunday. The city canceled vaccination appointments on Monday and encouraged people to avoid travel, also alerting residents to possible power outages caused by strong winds.
