# Second time In A Week, US Northeast Is About To Be Slammed With Snow

It has not been a week since the last nor'easter, and already another is on the way. More than 36 millions people are in some kind of winter storm warning or advisory on Monday as the storm ramps up in the Mid-Atlantic. It is slated to hit the Northeast from Monday night through Tuesday evening.

This storm is just as strong as the last one, but it's targeting different regions with the heaviest snow. New England will bear the brunt of this nor'easter, with more than a foot of snow possible in Boston.

The storm is expected to strengthen rapidly on Monday night. Two systems - one from the Great Lakes and another from the Southeast - will merge east of the Mid-Atlantic. As it happens, snow will spread across the Northeast from New Jersey to southern Maine. Winds will pick up, and gusts could reach 60 mph.

The storm really gets going in New England early Tuesday morning. The day will be marked with moderate to heavy snow from Long Island to Maine. With the combination of wind and snow, blizzard conditions are possible. Visibility during the morning commute in Boston could be significantly reduced.

On Tuesday night, the worst of the snow is expected to shift fully to New England - Maine, in particular.
