NYC area set for 2 feet of snow in first dangerous blizzard in a decade - when to expect the worst

"This is the calm before the deadly storm. New York City is facing its first blizzard in more than a decade - as a powerful nor'easter bears down on the northeast. The Big Apple is expected to get 12 to 18 inches, with a possibility for two feet. Eastern Long Island and the Jersey Shore could get more than 24 inches. The first blizzard warning since 2017 hits at 1 p.m."

"Snow is expected to start falling shortly thereafter Sunday afternoon and will hit 1-2 inches an hour late Sunday into Monday. Accompanying the heavy snow, set to be even greater than last month's nasty dump, forecasters are predicting the winter storm will bring dangerous winds of up to 55 mph. That could cause whiteout conditions making "travel treacherous and potentially life-threatening," the weather service said. "The strong winds and weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages.""
