While the bitter cold will be felt this weekend, it's the heavy, widespread snowfall that is expected to dominate headlines across New York and New Jersey, CBS News reports.

A winter storm watch has been issued, along with a cold weather advisory in effect for part of the weekend.

The storm system will begin in the Southern Plains on Friday, then move across the South and into the East Coast, bringing plummeting temperatures, heavy snow, ice, and dangerously cold conditions.

According to CBS News, the heaviest snowfall is expected in New York City and its northern suburbs, while areas south and east of the city may see a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.

Snow will begin lightly on Sunday morning, intensifying through lunchtime, and by the afternoon and evening, heavy, steady snow will lead to widespread accumulation. By Monday morning, lingering flurries and light snow are expected.

Friday will be frigid and windy, with temperatures feeling like 0° to 15°. The cold weather advisory runs from 10 p.m. Friday through 10 p.m. Saturday, with wind chills making it feel as cold as -5° to -25°, CBS News reported.

-25° wind chill? That's unimaginable cold for us in India. Our "winter" in Delhi is like their spring. Makes you appreciate the infrastructure needed to handle such extremes. Hope the authorities are prepared.

While the focus is on snow, the article rightly calls out the "perilous cold." Hypothermia is a real risk. Please check on elderly neighbors and anyone who might be vulnerable. Safety first!

I have a respectful criticism for the reporting. It gives inches of snow, but for a global audience, could they also mention the equivalent in centimetres? 6-12 inches is roughly 15-30 cm, which is a massive amount!

First Alert Weather Days sound serious. Reminds me of our cyclone warnings on the eastern coast. Good that they are giving people advance notice. Hope flights and trains aren't too badly disrupted for those traveling.

The mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is the worst. Makes roads like ice rinks. If you don't absolutely have to go out, don't. Let the crews do their work clearing the roads.
