Another Snowstorm to Pound New York City Starting Tonight
Date: 01/11/2011
The same storms that hit the South and Midwest over the weekend will come together in the Northeast today into Wednesday, producing a broad-scale, very disruptive snowstorm.
The snowfall, which will be the heaviest from New Jersey up through southeastern New England will lead to school closings, major travel problems and even a daycare crisis over much of the Northeast.
Along Interstate 95, from Philadelphia through New York City, this will be a major snowstorm, but probably not an all-out blizzard. However, it will be worse than this past Friday-Saturday snow event.
In Philadelphia, from 4 to 8 inches of snow is forecast. From New York City to Hartford, 6 to 12 inches of snow is expected. From Providence up through Boston and Portsmouth, there is the potential for 18 inches.
The worst conditions and an old-fashioned nor'easter are aiming for southeastern New England from central Connecticut to eastern Massachusetts and coastal Maine, where strong winds will kick up as the storm finally strengthens.
