When all is said and done, about 3 to 12 inches will have fallen on parts of the city and close suburbs, with areas to the south seeing less snow. The far north and west suburbs will see up to 2 feet of snow. Snow mixes with some sleet and rain along the Jersey shoreline and in Suffolk County, so snow totals will be between 1 to 3 inches for most, with less snow likely in southern Ocean County and in the Hamptons. <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Snow-Noreaster-Forecast-New-York-New-Jersey-Connecticut-Travel-Subway-Total-Neighborhood-School--416101593.html" target="_blank"Storm Team 4 breaks down full forecast here.
The snow will fall from Tuesday morning into early Tuesday afternoon. Thunder and lightning are possible with this very dynamic snow, and it could appear at times that it’s pouring snow outside. <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Snow-Noreaster-Forecast-New-York-New-Jersey-Connecticut-Travel-Subway-Total-Neighborhood-School--416101593.html" target="_blank"Storm Team 4 breaks down full forecast here. <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Snow-Noreaster-Forecast-New-York-New-Jersey-Connecticut-Travel-Subway-Total-Neighborhood-School--416101593.html" target="_blank"Storm Team 4 breaks down full forecast here.

Sustained winds will be up to 35 mph with gusts topping 50 mph across a large swath of the tri-state.
