A SEVERE snow storm is set to hit New York and Boston (afternoon local time) with up to 2ft expected by nightfall, forecasters have warned.
Flights to the cities from Dublin have been cancelled today as a result.
Commenting on the upcoming storm, The Meteo Times Senior Forecaster Peter O’Donnell said: “The storm will develop rapidly around mid-afternoon (eastern U.S. time) when a low moving up the east coast begins to pull in energy from another system in western PA currently dropping heavy snow in the Lake Ontario region.
“The resulting storm will be further intensified by an upper level low that will be deepening over Long Island. By morning, there will be strong low pressure just south of Cape Cod, in eastern MA (Massachusetts) and winds from the northeast at 70-120 km/hr, with heavy snow all across New England and nearby New York state, including Long Island, and northern New Jersey.”
