New York: Light snow began falling on the east coast on Monday morning, the first signs of a potentially historic blizzard that officials predicted would dump up to three feet in the coming day, snarling transportation.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a blizzard warning for New York City and surrounding areas between coastal New Jersey and Connecticut, beginning 1 pm EST on Monday and worsening overnight into Tuesday morning. It warned of two days of winter storms across the East Coast, from Pennsylvania to Maine.
Travel will be extremely dangerous, the service said, as strong, snow-filled winds reduce visibility to near zero.
Airlines have canceled more than 2,300 flights so far, according to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, with more than 600 alone at the three main airports serving New York City.
