Heavy Snow Blasts Through The Northeast

December 17, 2020
UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologists
Feet of snow continues to pile up across parts of the northeastern U.S. as the historic winter storm slides up the coast.

The powerful storm system has already dumped multiple feet of snow across portions of Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, where as much as 40 inches of snowfall has been reported. Heavy snowfall will move across eastern New York and New England today, with an additional foot or more of snow possible. The main band of heavy snow is expected to be from Binghamton and Albany, N.Y. through northwestern Massachusetts, southern Vermont, and southern New Hampshire.

Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories continue from northern Pennsylvania and New York through much of New England, where significant snowfall is ongoing and still expected through this evening. Scranton, Pa., Binghamton and Albany, N.Y., all of southern New England, Rutland, Vt., Concord, N.H., and Portland, Maine are all included.

Further south, a wintry mix will wind down in the New York City region this morning. Far southern New England could also deal with sleet and rain mixing in at times this morning and afternoon.

The snow will end across most of the Northeast during the late morning and afternoon, with some snow showers possibly lingering into the evening along the eastern New England coast.

In addition to the snow threat, the immediate coast from Delaware northward to Cape Cod, including New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, and southern New England, could receive coastal flooding from strong onshore winds. Coastal Flood Warnings and Watches have been posted for these areas.

If you have not already, get yourself winter-ready and find winter gear such as boots, gloves, snowbrushes, and shovels. In addition, have a winter supply kit ready, including extra batteries and cell-phone chargers, water, and canned food ready in case you lose power.
