Starting Monday night, a winter storm is expected to reach the northeastern United States, including the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area.
Jesús López, meteorologist for the Guardians of Time, reported that the storm will impact the metropolitan area, in the morning hours of Tuesday, from 7:00 am to noon.
“The intensity of the snow is going to be a little heavy. This can obstruct visibility on the roads,” said the expert.
Regarding the snow accumulations, he specified that they could be from 6 to 12 inches, but that they will definitely exceed 6 inches. “We’ll have fluffy snow, a little big, like the size of a quarter or a $1,” she said.
He mentioned some of the areas that will be affected: State College and Scranton, in Pennsylvania, Poughkeepsie, in northern New York, Hatford, in Connecticut, and Providence, in Rhode Island.
Springfield and Worcester, both Massachusetts cities, are also expected to be affected by the winter weather.
During the month of January and on several occasions, snow was present in New York City, after more than 700 days without it being seen. Snow squalls even occurred.
How to prepare for a winter storm
To cope with cold temperatures, stay warm by wearing layers of clothing and minimizing the time you spend outdoors. Always have blankets and other items that provide warmth on hand.
In case of power outages, it is advisable that you have a list of emergency numbers. If the situation continues, you can travel to another location, such as a friend or family member’s house, but always keep someone informed of your travel plans.
At home or at work, always have a radio and flashlight, as well as batteries, on hand. Also keep emergency supplies, such as water and a first aid kit.
And if you are going to shovel snow at your house or on the street, the American Heart Association (AHA) reminds you that it can be a risk to your health if you overdo it. We leave you some tips to do it.
