The Northeast was propping for a real winter storm Sunday with yelling winds and more than a foot of snow figure for a few regions Monday and Tuesday.
Tempest watches were at that point set up for parts of southern New England and Long Island in front of "this major, potentially notable winter storm," The Weather Channel reported.
"It's one thing to get a foot of snow," Accuweather senior meteorologist Tom Kines told USA TODAY. "You toss in 30 to 40 mile-every hour winds and its a formula for fiasco."
The National Weather Service cautioned of substantial snow and solid wind - "even tempest conditions are conceivable" - for parts of the northern mid-Atlantic and New England. A tempest watch was essentially for Long Island and beachfront Massachusetts, with a winter storm watch extending from Delaware to Maine.
The climate administration was estimating 4 to 8 inches over parts of Maryland and southern Pennsylvania. Six to 12 inches were gauge from New Jersey north to eastern Massachusetts through Tuesday morning.
