A band of wet, heavy snow will set up over eastern and north-central Pennsylvania, upstate New York and northwestern New England. This wall of snow has the potential to produce snowfall rates of up to 2 or even 3 inches per hour that can cling to trees and power lines and raise the risk of large limbs bending and breaking. Power outages and blocked roads could become extensive over the higher terrain.
AccuWeather Global Weather Center – April 18, 2022 – Residents of the northeastern United States are preparing for a strong and potentially disruptive storm that could deliver up to a foot of snow, heavy rain and fierce winds through Tuesday, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
Despite the calendar showing a mid-April date, heavy, accumulating snow is most likely to fall across interior portions of the Northeast by Tuesday, and the snow is likely to cause travel disruptions, particularly in the mountains from Pennsylvania to New England.
Winter weather advisories stretched from West Virginia to parts of New England on Monday morning while winter storm warnings were in place from northeastern Pennsylvania through much of interior New York.
“A strengthening storm along the mid-Atlantic coast, combined with an approaching cold front, will bring another punch of wintry weather to the Northeast and New England early this week,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Adam Sadvary.
