New York City, Boston among 30 million under Winter Storm Watch as new weekend winter storm looms
Just as one winter storm that brought snow and ice exits the Northeast, a new winter storm is expected to slam similar areas over the weekend. New winter weather alerts have already been posted for cities that stretch from the eastern Rockies and Dakotas to New York City and even Boston.
The FOX Forecast Center expects heavy snowfall will occur on Saturday across the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Temperatures are expected to be in the teens as the heavy snow falls, leading to very light, powdery snow prone to blowing and drifting.
