December is just getting started, and our first (partial) winter storm is underway. Many will see rain in this event, but where it snows, there could be significant amounts, and it’s likely to be heavy and wet.

The season’s first winter storm is on the move, set to arrive Tuesday afternoon—but not before some messy weather hits on Sunday.

A winter storm will deliver a punch of snow to millions in the Northeast after it dumps more white stuff on the snowy Midwest.

The storm is expected to bring accumulating snow and icy conditions from Kansas into New England, where winter storm warnings are in effect across the region.

At least one storm this weekend could bring the first measurable snowfall to some areas near the mid-Atlantic and New England coasts, forecasters say.

A potential nor’easter could leave as much as a foot of snow in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, the Catskills in New York, and parts of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, a forecaster said.
