Any shift in the storm track will change the location of the highest snow accumulations, but the general outlook remains the same: We are expecting plowable snow across the tri-state on Sunday. Be ready for shoveling and sledding on Monday, just be sure to dress for the cold.
How much snow will New York City get on Sunday?
The immediate New York City metro area is forecast to receive 3 to 5 inches of snow.
Areas in northwest New Jersey, parts of the Hudson Valley, and the northwest hills of Connecticut could see 8 to 12 inches.
It will be light, fluffy snow meaning it can pile up quickly.
