How much snow will fall from the nor’easter
The Northeast and New England are known for experiencing winter storms that can last 24 hours or more, but this one will be a quick hitter.
However, despite the speed of storms moving in and out of the region, snow will fall quickly and heavily in many areas.
Much of the heavy snow will fall as the Tuesday morning commute begins, causing hazardous travel on major roads and highways in the region, including Interstate 95 north of Philadelphia and Interstate 90 in Massachusetts.

The FOX Forecast Center says snowfall rates could approach 1–3 inches per hour during that time. With the high rate of snow, it will quickly accumulate on the road, only adding to the dangerous driving conditions.
Visibility will also be limited to less than half a mile in the heaviest bands of snow.
Up to a foot of snow with locally higher amounts possible in parts of eastern Pennsylvania, southern New York and southern New England.
The FOX Forecast Center says the tri-state area of New York City, northern New Jersey and northeastern Pennsylvania could see 5–8 inches of snow totals. The Boston area, eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island are at risk of seeing 8–12 inches of snow.
Power outages, coastal flooding possible
The FOX Forecast Center said power outages are also a concern due to heavy and wet snow conditions. As it accumulates, heavier water-filled snow can add significant weight to tree limbs and power lines.
That, coupled with high winds, can cause downed tree limbs and power lines, as well as possible structural damage.
Winds could gust up to 50 mph near the coast, which has prompted a High Wind Warning for the Massachusetts coast, including Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.
Further inland, winds can gust up to 30 mph.
Coastal flooding is also a concern as the storm tracks south of Long Island and New England, which will create strong northeast winds that will cause some moderate coastal flooding during Tuesday’s high tide along parts of the New York and New England coasts.
