Weekend Storm Looms for Northeast as Snow Falls in Chicago

A storm developing off the East Coast will probably bring 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 centimeters) of snow to New York and Boston over the weekend, the National Weather Service said.

Heavy snowfall began in Chicago at midday. The Eastern storm will move south and east of Long Island and mix with colder air from the north, spreading snow across the New York area starting late tonight, said John Murray, a weather service meteorologist in Upton, New York.
