Snow, ice, and Arctic air to hit Northeast
The Northeast and New England are bracing for a significant winter storm that will bring a combination of snow, ice, and dangerously cold Arctic air into early Tuesday. The collision of Arctic air with a low-pressure system is expected to result in widespread snowfall, with accumulations ranging from 5 to 15 inches. Some areas, particularly in the Upper Ohio Valley and New England, could see localized snowfall totals reaching up to 18 inches.
