Boston, MA – The Northeast braces for additional heavy snow and treacherous ice through Tuesday night, with the National Weather Service warning of hazardous driving conditions and potential power outages across multiple states.
According to the NOAA Weather Prediction Center, northern Maine could see up to 18 inches of snow, while parts of New England face up to a quarter-inch of ice accumulation, increasing risks of downed power lines and tree damage.
Lake-effect snow will persist through Tuesday across the Great Lakes, with blizzard-like conditions making travel nearly impossible in affected areas. Gusty winds up to 70 mph are expected across the Eastern U.S., especially along the central Appalachians, causing potential power outages and travel disruptions, particularly for high-profile vehicles.
Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary travel, secure outdoor items, and prepare for potential power outages. Authorities recommend staying updated through local weather services and taking precautions if traveling is essential during this storm.
