Across New York City and the Northeast, 30 million people are under blizzard warnings from a powerful winter storm that threatens to drop heavy, wet wind-blown snow by the foot starting Sunday and has already grounded more than 1,000 flights. All kinds of travel are expected to be near impossible and the system may lead to widespread power outages.
The National Weather Service updated its forecast on Saturday afternoon calling for a long stretch along the East Coast to get up to 20 inches (50.8 centimeters). Mayor Zohran Mamdani warned New Yorkers the blizzard may be more dangerous than a storm that hit the city in late January.
