Winter storm warnings were issued across much of the Northeast United States on Monday as a strong Nor'easter storm was forecast to hit later in the day, bringing upwards of 30 inches of snow in some localities.

“A coastal low pressure will strengthen rapidly into a major Nor'aster that significantly impacts the Northeast beginning later Monday night through Wednesday,” said the National Weather Service in a Monday update. “Heavy snow rates (2 inches plus per hour) and strong winds will produce dangerous to impossible travel.”
