A broad swath of the US, stretching from the Midwest into the Appalachians, as well as the northeast, is receiving snow from a fast-moving winter system, combined with intense lake-effect bands.
Accumulations of 1-6 inches are forecast for the I-95 corridor, and conditions for travel are expected to be hazardous due to flash freezing and gusty winds.
Travel is expected to be particularly treacherous along the I-95, from Washington DC to near Boston through Sunday morning.
Below is a detailed look at how much snow accumulation is expected across different states.
The entire state of Connecticut is under a winter weather advisory with 2–4 inches of expected statewide.
Coastal areas may see slightly higher amounts, up to 5 inches, as the storm intensifies off the coast. The primary threat, however, remains the post-storm freeze, which will glaze over any untreated surfaces through Sunday night.
Northern Delmarva is poised to see significant accumulation on Sunday, with the potential for 5+ inches of snow.
The combination of falling temperatures and accumulating snow is expected to cause major slowdowns, particularly for transit connecting to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and travel through the northern counties.
The nation's capital is seeing light accumulations of 1-2 inches of snow being reported. Slightly higher amounts, meanwhile, are being reported just north of Washington, D.C.
Bloomington in Illinois has already seen 5 inches of snow accumulation from the storm system.
