The blizzard warning is in place from just outside D.C., wrapping up along the coast, getting up towards Boston.

That means whiteout conditions you're really not going to be able to see at all because the snow will be coming down very heavy, winds 50, 60 miles an hour.

That is what's going to limit visibility down to under a quarter of a mile for over three hours.

This system running all the way through today, overnight.

It's not going to be until tomorrow evening that you finally see this system clear out.

New York City forecasting 18 to 24 inches of snow in the city.

Boston, even bigger numbers, two to three feet of snow is possible.

All that and those winds are going to be really intense.

It's going to be a tough next couple of days.

Consistent snow all the way until Monday morning and then lingering through the first half of the day, even on Monday.

So this is going to be a long, deranged event as we're tracking all of this snow.

How much are you ultimately going to get?

12 to 18 inches.

I think fairly widespread.

You're going to be seeing spots getting up to 15 inches or so.

Additionally, you can have the winds 50, 60 miles an hour.

And that obviously is a big problem as well, because any snow that's on the ground will be blowing and we will be losing visibility.

That's what ultimately becomes a blizzard.

And of course, with that, you're talking about widespread power outages, basically up and down these coastal areas.

So this is going to be a major event that we're tracking today, tomorrow.
