Crippling, 'Potentially Historic' Blizzard Headed For New York, Boston
A potentially crippling and historic blizzard is forecast to bury areas from New York City northward to southern New England under a wind-swept blanket of 2 feet or more of snow between Monday night and Wednesday morning, as a storm rapidly strengthens just off the East Coast.
As of Sunday at 11 a.m. ET, blizzard watches were in effect from central New Jersey to the North Shore of Boston, a heavily populated urban corridor.
The storm may prompt the virtual shutdown of large portions of New Jersey, southeastern New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island between Monday night and Tuesday night, as it whips up winds gusting to 70 miles per hour or more, along with snowfall rates approaching 4 inches per hour at times.
In anticipation of the storm, the National Weather Service has issued blizzard watches, coastal flood watches and a host of other watches and warnings from New Jersey to Maine, as computer models used to help forecast high-impact weather events are unanimously pointing to a major — if not history-making — storm.
