The East Coast is under blizzard watch beginning Monday night as authorities advise 50 million people to prepare for what could be the worst storm this winter season from New York City to Boston.
Winter Storm Stella is expected to sweep the New York region with possible blizzard conditions, as experts predict the region could see 12 to 24 inches of wind-blasted snow from Monday to early Wednesday.
New York City issued a snow alert for Monday night into Tuesday, expecting snowfall rates of up to 2 to 4 inches per hour Tuesday morning and afternoon, with gusts of up to 50 mph.
‘This would certainly be the biggest snowstorm of the 2017 winter season in New York City,’ said Faye Barthold, a weather service meteorologist based on Long Island.
Authorities are warning residents to prepare for the possibility of widespread power outages, road closures and flight disruptions.
New Yorkers began stocking up on groceries, salt and emergency supplies over the weekend as they prepared for a snow day inside.
