Live updates: NYC, Boston, Philly brace for historic blizzard ‘bomb,’ 2+ feet of snow expected

A powerful bomb cyclone is expected to hit the Northeast, bringing life-threatening blizzard conditions, 60 mph wind gusts, and more than two feet of snow along the I-95 corridor.

New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia are under Blizzard Warnings as heavy snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour create whiteouts and power outages.

Residents are urged to prepare for widespread disruptions, including potential travel delays and dangerous winter weather conditions.
