A strong area of low-pressure will develop off the eastern seaboard and track north towards New York City Monday night and Tuesday. As a result, New York City is at risk for a major winter storm with 10-14 inches of snow (possibly more) and near-blizzard conditions from Monday night through Late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour are expected but could increase to 3-4 inches per hour if intense snow bands develop over the city. Ice accretion and significant coastal flooding are not expected with this system.

Updated this morning at 10:20am. Possible in excess if not close to 18″-24″ inches in NYC & five boros out to tip of LI.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m heading to Deal!
These hyped predictions are one man d’omar.
Weather.com says:
Monday: 1 – 3 inches
Tuesday: 3 – 5 inches
That’s a total of 4 – 8 inches.
That’s it for snow this week.
accuweather (who is this “man d’amar) is more reliable than weather.com)
Shazam – you need to click on the day on weather.com. The 5 day display is very misleading.
