Back-to-back blasts of bitter Arctic air from Canada are expected to power high winds and heavy snow from the Corn Belt to New England this weekend followed by an ice storm that could paralyze travelers in the Ohio Valley and Northeast.
Heavy snow, with blizzard-like conditions, could leave from 30 to 40 inches of snow in parts of interior New England.
The National Weather service says the first strong surge of Canadian air over the Plains will re-energize a storm system coming out of the Rockies.
The heaviest snow on Friday is forecast for South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, setting up the bitter march to New England.
“The storm is expected to become quite intense on Sunday as its center passes near or just south of New York City,” the National Weather Service says. “Conditions over interior New England could approach blizzard criteria as the storm brings very strong northerly winds together with heavy snow. “
