    Snow and ice will snarl travel across parts of the Northeast early this week from a storm system that has also brought snow to the West, Plains and upper Midwest over the past several days. The first accumulating snow of the season is expected for areas from Philadelphia to New York City to Boston
    The Weather Channel has named this system Winter Storm Ezekiel.

    Happening now

    Snow is falling from portions of Pennsylvania into New York and New England. Sleet or freezing rain is mixing in with the snow in some areas.

    Icy roadways contributed to numerous accidents Sunday on Interstate 84 in Pike County, Pennsylvania, between Scranton and the New York state line, according to a National Weather Service report. Interstate 81 was closed near Castle Creek, New York, just north of Binghamton, late Sunday morning because of icy conditions; the interstate was reopened by mid-afternoon.

    The speed limit has been reduced on many highways across the Northeast due to the widespread snow and ice in the region.

    Farther west, snow showers and gusty winds also continue in the northern Great Lakes.

    Winter storm warnings, winter storm watches and winter weather advisories have been issued by the National Weather Service across a broad area from the northern Great Lakes to the Northeast and southward into the central Appalachians.

    The worst conditions are likely in areas where winter storm warnings are in effect. Some locations in these warnings may be impossible to travel through. Albany and Syracuse, New York; Allentown and Scranton, Pennsylvania; and Concord and Manchester, New Hampshire, are among the cities under a winter storm warning.

    Below is the forecast for tomorrow

    Snow and gusty winds from this storm could linger in eastern New England on Tuesday. Much of the snow should be over with by Tuesday night.

    Areas from northeastern Pennsylvania into central and eastern New York could pick up a foot or more of snow, including Albany, Binghamton and Syracuse, New York.

    A foot or more of snow could also bury parts of southern and central New England. The heaviest totals in southern portions of New England will be to the north and west of Interstate 95.

    The Boston area could receive more than 6 inches of snowfall, with heavier totals just north and west of the city.

    New York City might pick up 1 to 3 inches of snow Monday night. An inch or two could also fall in Philadelphia.

    This will be the first accumulating snow of the season (0.1 inches or greater) for Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Hartford, Connecticut, and Providence, Rhode Island.
