As of Monday evening, close to a foot of snow has fallen across greater New York City and parts of the higher elevations in the Poconos and Catskills may see up to 2 feet by Tuesday. In addition to the heavy snow, strong winds along the coast and into some of the metro areas could come roaring in around 35-45 mph, making for very difficult travel across the major and minor roadways.
