Snow, sleet and freezing rain are forecast to strike the East Coast on the first weekend of the new year — posing the risk of slippery roads, power outages and downed trees in a number of states, according to the National Weather Service.
Starting Saturday night, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts are expected to see the heaviest snowfall from the winter storm system, with up to a foot of snow in some areas. Parts of New York and New Jersey will also accumulate a few inches of wet snow as the region faces bouts of snowfall and rain throughout the weekend.
