A broad swath of the US, stretching from the Midwest to the Appalachians as well as the Northeast, receives snow from a fast-moving winter system combined with intense lake-effect bands.
Accumulations of 1-6 inches are forecast for the I-95 corridor and travel conditions are expected to be hazardous due to freezing and gusty winds.
Travel is expected to be especially treacherous along I-95, from Washington DC to near Boston through Sunday morning.

Below is a detailed look at how much snow is expected in different states.
Connecticut
The entire state of Connecticut is under a winter weather advisory with 2-4 inches expected across the state.
Coastal areas may see slightly higher amounts, up to 5 inches, as the storm strengthens offshore. However, the primary threat remains storm freezing, which will glaze over the untreated surface Sunday night.
Delaware
North Delmarva is poised to see significant accumulation on Sunday with the potential for 5+ inches of snow.
The combination of falling temperatures and accumulating snow is expected to cause major delays, especially for transit connecting to the Delaware Memorial Bridge and travel through northern counties.
District of Columbia
Accumulations of 1-2 inches of snow are reported in the nation’s capital. Meanwhile, slightly higher amounts are being reported north of Washington, DC

Illinois
Bloomington, Illinois has already seen 5 inches of snow accumulation from the storm system.
While the rainfall has largely receded, the main concern in the state is now deep freeze — with temperatures dropping well below freezing, any slush or standing water on the roads freezes, creating dangerous travel conditions.
Indiana
Significant snow accumulation was reported in central Indiana, with 5.4 inches recorded near Indianapolis International Airport.
Accumulations across the state have created slick conditions that are affecting travel. Indiana also faces a rapid temperature drop as the system exits.
Iowa
Iowa is currently dealing with the aftermath of the winter storm, particularly the harsh “Arctic cold” following the snowfall, with Iowa City last receiving 4.5 inches of snow.
However, travel conditions remain tricky due to slippery conditions.
Ohio
Ohio has seen widespread snowfall, with early reports confirming 3.6 inches in Dayton.
Forecasts and local reports indicate total accumulations of 1-5 inches across the state, with 7 inches reported south of I-70.
Hardest hit are the northeastern lake effect zones where 3-8 inches of snow is expected.

Pennsylvania
Western Pennsylvania saw the heaviest snowfall on record, with 6.5 inches of accumulation reported near Pittsburgh.
Meanwhile, the southeast corner of the state near Philadelphia has 3-6 inches in the forecast.
New Jersey
Travel was being conducted along the I-95 corridor with 2.1 inches already reported in New Brunswick Sunday morning.
The forecast calls for 3-5 inches widely, with the heavy band expected to drop 3-6 inches across the state, with southern NJ potentially seeing even higher amounts.
New York
New York State, including New York City, is expected to see significant amounts of snow.
While NYC and Long Island expect 3-5 inches and 4-6 inches respectively, the city’s first accumulation of the season.
Upstate New York will be hit much harder, with Oswego County bracing for 10-16 inches of intense snow.
Maryland
Particular corridors of the state are still heavier than expected, with 2.5 inches of accumulation already reported and 3-6 inches forecast for the East Coast.
Meanwhile, the corridor from Annapolis to Baltimore is looking at 2-4 inches, while areas closer to Washington DC are seeing slightly less.
Massachusetts
The Boston area expects 1-3 inches of snow, while the Cape could see a higher total of 3-5 inches.
While Massachusetts is probably doing better than a few other places, the combination of snow and arctic winds is expected to make travel on I-95 towards New Hampshire difficult.
Virginia
Northern Virginia generally expects to see less than 2 inches of snow on Sunday, which is on the southern edge of a wintry system.
However, as temperatures drop to freezing or below during the event, even small amounts cause slippery patches on the Beltway and secondary roads, creating tricky travel conditions.
Rhode Island
The Providence, Rhode Island area and surrounding regions are forecast to receive 2-4 inches of snow.
As part of the “Southern New England” disturbance, the state will see reduced visibility and slippery roads throughout Sunday, followed by bitterly cold air on Monday.
