A significant snowstorm is poised to blanket the Northeastern United States, bringing with it substantial snowfall and powerful winds. The National Weather Service (NWS) reports that the storm system, originating from the Midwest, is expected to gain strength as it progresses eastward. Some areas could see up to 12 inches of snow, with the heaviest accumulations projected for parts of New York, Pennsylvania, and New England. The storm is also anticipated to generate strong gusts of wind, potentially causing blowing snow and impaired visibility.
