The amount of moisture that this system houses along with its size are both quite remarkable. The snow has been moderate to heavy for much of Pennsylvania, and scattered in both frequency and intensity through New York, and southern New England. The rain-snow line will start to shift north slowly though as the low pressure system moves through the Mid-Atlantic states and just south of Long Island, and then northeast past Boston into tomorrow.
The forecasted track of the system has not varied much in the past couple of days and continues to stay rather true to what we've been expecting. Freezing rain will be more of a concern inland (such as the Bronx, central Connecticut, and northeast New Jersey, as opposed to directly on the coast. This will cause issues to both road conditions and tree limbs and power lines.
Expected snowfall totals in the NY metropolitan area are as follows... Upwards of 6" in the NYC Metro area and much of Long Island (though lesser amounts along the east end of Long Island), Just north & west of New York City, 4"-8" with higher amounts towards northern Orange and Putnam counties and into northern Connecticut, southern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Up to a foot or more is possible in much of Pennsylvania, and into New Hampshire & Maine.
Conditions turn try for most areas late Sunday and could see a bit of sunshine as well, especially throughout Monday, both quite windy days.
***It is highly recommended that you do not travel this evening unless absolutely necessary and be extremely cautious if you must as weather like this can prove to be very hazardous to the roadways.***
