The Northeast is really getting smacked now by this winter storm and it will last through the day.

The snow now encompasses the whole 95 corridor from D.C.

to New York City to Boston and for hundreds of miles all around.

Heavy snow, whiteout conditions, they'll continue for areas along and west of 95 with totals upwards of 6 to 12 inches near the coast.

and 12 to 18 inches or more inland.

The snow falls heavily with whiteout conditions at times, but a mix or change to sleet and freezing rain, that's likely, especially in cities and towns east of 95.

which will hold down the accumulations the closer you are to the East Coast.

It could get about as far north as I-80.

But less snow means more sleet and ice, which can even be more treacherous and disruptive.

Well, I hope you're finishing up on getting your essentials for what will likely be an extremely challenging winter storm.

The snow is going to begin tonight in the D.C.

area, then spread up 95 to New York City and Boston and beyond during Sunday afternoon.

and all travel will become hazardous if not impossible thousands of flight cancellations to now i'm still looking at six to twelve inches for the majority of the region and some places may reach upwards of eighteen inches but a switch to sleep and freezing rain would lower those totals a bit south and east of ninety five near the coast

But then you'll have a disruptive ice storm on top of the snow.

And bitter wind chills of 10 to 20 below zero will continue after the storm leaves on Monday.
