A fast-moving winter storm is expected to drop what could be the most significant snow of the season across the Northeast on Sunday, with at least half a foot expected from Maryland to Maine.
The heaviest band of snow is likely to fall north and west of Interstate 95, with up to eight inches possible, according to the National Weather Service, which placed large portions of the Northeast under winter storm warnings or winter weather advisories.
The New York City metropolitan area, which could receive up to five inches, is expected to start seeing snow around 1 p.m. on Sunday. The farther inland parts of New York will be under a winter storm warning during that time and could get seven or eight inches of snow.
Mayor Eric Adams said in a post on social media that salt spreaders and snow plows were ready for the “moderate snow” but asked people to take public transit when possible.
It has been years since New York City has seen as much snowfall as forecasts are predicting for this weekend. A couple of inches of snow fell on the city this time last year, breaking a streak of nearly two years without significant accumulation. The city saw less than eight inches of snow all of last year, and less than three inches of snow between 2022 and 2023.
Some areas could see snowfall rates of one inch per hour at times.
