Tomorrow a powerful Nor’easter is expected to hit the East Coast in the morning with meteorologists saying the storm will dump nearly a foot and a half of snow.
“The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning from late Monday night through Tuesday evening for New York City and parts of northern New Jersey and southern Connecticut, while winter storm warnings and watches were issued for the remainder of the Northeast,” reports NBC Boston.
Stations are using Facebook, both live and regular, to keep viewers up to date on what to expect.
