New York City Facing Slick Commute Tuesday From Early Storm

New York City will likely have a slick commute Tuesday morning, while the rest of the Northeast from Pennsylvania to Maine gets a dollop of snow from a storm rising up from the US Gulf Coast, even as a record-breaking system pulls away from Chicago and the Midwest.

Manhattan and New York’s other four boroughs are expected to miss the storm’s worst, which is centered south of Albany, according to the latest forecast, said David Roth, a senior branch forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center. A swath from northeastern Pennsylvania through Upstate New York into New England may get as much as 12 inches (30 centimeters) of snow. Philadelphia, Washington, and Boston may all pick up a couple of inches.
