The snow may accumulate to a foot or more, likely causing travel disruptions from Monday to Wednesday.
Snow is expected to move into southern Pennsylvania Monday evening and rapidly cover much of the central and eastern part of the state. Very heavy snow is likely throughout Tuesday with snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour.
The combination of low visibility and slippery roadways due to heavy snowfall will result in unsafe travel conditions, according to the National Weather Service.
Wind of 10 to 20 miles per hour will gust up to 35 miles per hour during the height of the storm.
New England will continue to see snow overnight into Wednesday (15 March) when the worst of the storm is expected to be over.
The storm is expected to stay all day Tuesday and could stick around through Wednesday morning’s commute. “It’ll really depend on how the lake effect shakes out”. In Boston, 36.4 inches had fallen compared with the normal 35.8. Expect colder temperatures when you wake up on Saturday with temperatures hovering in the low to mid 30’s.
Breezy winds will accompany this storm, bringing morning wind chills as low as 8 degrees, and into the teens again this evening. Another shot of snow will come through on Friday night, with several more inches possible.

Finger Lakes Weather called the storm “very unsafe”, and said much of Upstate New York is “poised for one of the biggest winter storms in recent memory”. This should help boost temperatures into the upper 30s for highs.
