New York may get 12 inches of snow from midweek storm

The springlike temperatures are giving way to winter conditions across the Northeast, with the threat of snow rising for New York and New England from a fast-moving storm that will hit late Wednesday.
New York could get 8 to 12 inches of snow starting from Wednesday from a storm starting to come together across the western US, said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center. Earlier outlooks had called for mainly rain in the five boroughs.
“Some of the heaviest snow axis is right across the New York metropolitan area,” Oravec said. “It is kind of questionable for
DC and Philadelphia whether it will be rain or snow. But New York City has a good chance at the moment.”
The storm will be the second of two sweeping the eastern US. The first, much weaker, was expected to bring a dusting of snow to a few inches across the region on Monday, just as trucks carrying Pfizer’s Covid vaccine from Michigan fan out across the country.
