"As much as one to two feet of snow is forecast from the New York City metro area to Maine, with localized heavier amounts possible. This, in addition to wind gusts as high as 60-75 mph will create significant impacts to transportation and power. Coastal flooding is also possible from Boston northward."

WFMZ is also forecasting  a "moderate event" with six or more inches of snow for the Lehigh Valley. Driving conditions will worsen tonight as temperatures fall and the wind picks up and blows snow. A foot or more of snow will probably fall in the Poconos to the delight of ski resorts and skiers.
