A major snowstorm that will threaten Washington, Baltimore, or Philadelphia and will bring travel problems in the Midwest into Monday. The National Weather Service warned the residents that this storm will rapidly strengthen and will trail in a couple of hundred miles of the east coast of the U.S. that will range Monday night to Tuesday night.

According to The New York Times, the situation is expected to be worse, as the snowfall could be reached into two feet. For many areas in the Northeast, this will be likely the largest and a great effect storm of the winter. The New York metro area and the other regions will be facing blizzard that could experience a stronger wind with gusts up to 60 miles per hour.

The forecast indicated that the large part of New England will also be shoveling out of 6 inches or more from a storm. While the rest of the state like Massachusetts and Rhode Island were also under a winter storm warning, which the forecast predicts with 12 to 18 inches of snow.

AccuWeather reported that the widespread zone is expected of around a foot or more of snow from the western suburbs of Philadelphia to new York City, Boston, Portland, and Maine. This winter storm will be an unusually cold storm for thousands of miles of roads in the region, as the snow that falls will acquire plenty on the roads.

A meteorologist Bill Simpson said that this winter storm will be a pretty big storm for this year because it will apparently complicate the morning and evening commutes on Tuesday. All rain or a mixture of rain and snow will likely fall on southeastern Virginia, southeastern Maryland, southeastern Delaware, southeastern New Jersey, Cape Cod, and Massachusetts.

The wind can frequently gust at the top of 40 mph at the height of the storm, which cannot only build up blizzard conditions but also break tree limbs and threaten power outages. Mr. Simpson predicted that the weather will remain cold through the rest of the week.
