A winter storm threatened to snarl the morning commute for millions of Americans from the Mid-Atlantic to New England Friday, dumping up to 8 inches of snow on parts of the Northeast.
Heavy, wet snow will lead to messy conditions on roads across the region during the morning, forecasters said.
Parts eastern Long Island could see as much as 8 inches of heavy, wet snow by mid-morning, NBC New York reported. Up to 5 inches could fall on Brooklyn, Queens and possibly Manhattan and the Bronx.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Molloy said the state's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) would be monitoring the impact of the storm. "We are monitoring this winter weather diligently," he said, according to NBC Connecticut.
The snow was expected to clear in coastal New England by Friday evening.
