A "potentially historic" blizzard could dump 2 to 3 feet of snow on a large swath of the U.S. Northeast, crippling a region that has largely been spared so far this winter, the National Weather Service (NWS) said Sunday.
A blizzard warning was issued for New York and Boston, and the National Weather Service said the massive storm would bring heavy snow and powerful winds starting Monday and into Tuesday.
The NWS called the approaching system a "crippling and potentially historic blizzard," with many areas along the East Coast expected to see between 12 to 24 inches of snow. The New York City area could be the hardest hit from the storm with lashing winds and snowfall of 30 inches or more in some suburbs.
"This could be a storm the likes of which we have never seen before," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference Sunday.
