The largest snowstorm in years is expected to blanket the New York City metro area Sunday.
Many people may be waking up Sunday morning and wondering, "where is the snow?" Snow lovers don't need to worry, because it's on its way.
The snow is expected to start falling lightly in the immediate New York City area around 11 a.m. but will really move in by early afternoon. We will see rain mixing in with the snow at first, especially near the coast.

With the mild temperatures in the air, we will see some melting and low impacts through 4 p.m. Starting at 4 p.m., we'll see temperatures drop to freezing and that's when travel will become most dangerous.
The worst weather will happen between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. with some heavy snow bands dropping an inch per hour, leading to snow covered roads and poor visibility.
