As much as 14 inches of snow could hit New York City and the surrounding area tonight, as the storm that has gridlocked the Southeast is coming north.
AccuWeather Meteorologist Tom Kines said the snow will begin to fall around midnight and last through most of Thursday. The latest National Weather Service forecast map shows that the city will likely get anywhere between 10 and 14 inches, depending on whether the precipitation changes over to rain during the day.
People in New Jersey and Long island will be much luckier, Kines said. He expects they'll receive just a few inches.
"The commute (Thursday) is going to be slow. Well, it's always slow, but it will be slower," he said.
Kines also warns winds will be heavy Thursday — with gusts approaching 40 mph — so people can expect a lot of snowdrifting.
