In New York, heavy, wet snow is forecast for Long Island, which could get 5 to 10 inches of accumulation, while 2 to 4 inches are possible in New York City.
In New Jersey, the storm is expected to start out as light rain before changing over to all snow by early Tuesday, leaving behind up to 4 inches.
The storm is expected to last through most of the day Tuesday, disrupting road and air travel.
The flight-tracking site FlightAware already is reporting more than 1,300 canceled flights within, into or out of the U. S. on Tuesday. Amtrak suspended service from Boston to New York’s Penn Station until 11 a.m.
