Strong snow in New England
Temperatures in the main metropolitan areas of the north-east warmed on Monday, so these cities received rain and wind.
Gusts of wind reached more than 40 mph for the New York, Boston and Philadelphia metropolitan area. The rain will fall in the night from Tuesday to Tuesday but will remain windy and cold until midweek.
As the storm shifts to the northeast, another low pressure system will form along the shoreline, resulting in a heavy snowfall over northern New England. A maximum of 30 cm is possible in some areas.
The cold air that enters behind the storm will bring a thick lake effect snow, possibly as much as 20 inches just south of Buffalo, NY, on Tuesday until Wednesday.
Kansas said the state of emergency
The storm disrupted the trip for many on the last day of the holiday week.
Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer on Sunday issued a state emergency statement for the state, and officials said the state of the roads was "treacherous" in some areas. .
Snowfall up to 16 inches has been reported in parts of Iowa, other areas yielding between 3 and 10 inches. Baileyville, Kansas, slashed 10 inches and 7 inches fell in Salina, Kansas.
