An extreme weather like now on what some are calling -- blockbuster blizzard heading for the northeast the winter storm is expected to slam New Jersey and New York.

New England's Connecticut coastal Maine and all those major airport -- in between getting head up to two feet of snow predicted in the Greater Boston region.

There -- blizzard watches in effect right now people in New England are already preparing for the worse.

We're looking -- -- -- black.

One that will blow to -- now it's unbelievable to feed -- trying and lesson that we want to make sure we stuck up and have some extra supplies and everything so.

Other than that we got a generator left from.

I think from the last two scarce so we should -- -- their case -- -- -- got district right with but that's now send doubters out there.

I doubt if I don't believe it'll be too good -- Well I think I don't know exactly where she lives but I guarantee you there will be two feet of snow in some spots.

And likely the bull's eyes -- around the Boston areas so the right to get the shuttle's if you haven't learned a processor that you need to generator.

Now this is another example of why you need and it's hard to get out there and get them so late in the game here but a lot of people will probably be generators because the power outages.

And cold weather that's gonna happen right behind this obviously is well.

These are two different storms this is the moisture and that's the cold -- so it's those two storms that are gonna come together.

And it's going to be happening starting overnight tonight but really the bulk of it is going to be tomorrow evening into the Saturday morning and we have blizzard watch is posted here.

The eastern end of Long Island as well as parts of Connecticut all of Rhode Island.

And parts of eastern coastal Massachusetts that's really see the strongest of the winds along with the snow and and we winter storm watch is everywhere else across this area.

And -- break this down timing wise for you there's been a lot -- concern in people upset in New York overnight able to say exactly you've been hearing forecast for new York city of three to thirty inches well here's what's going out we definitely have the precipitation is going to be getting here.

But -- see that -- and that temperature by tomorrow afternoon 37 degrees.

That's who likely going to be rain now this is right on that line at -- little more cold here gets in here we're going to be looking at more snow.

But I think we're going to be seeing mostly regime and that mix throughout much of the day tomorrow evening we start see the colder -- -- there but Boston.

-- cold enough you're going to be snow the entire time and that's why the bull's eye of the heaviest of the snow is going to be there.

During the overnight hours tomorrow night it definitely turns into snow across New York City and then by -- still snowing very heavy getting much much windy here.

And still seeing the snow by Saturday morning so.

By the time we're all said and done with this there are going to be some bulls eyes bull -- I will say of some two feet plus snow and likely that's from parts of New Hampshire.

-- -- across series just towards the western hills and such around Boston may be up across parts of Maine as well but a big swath here Jenna.

Of looking at well in excess of -- foot and New York City right on that line maybe say six to twelve inches that twelve probably -- but if the holder gets here early enough.

We'll see certainly that much Jenna said the doubters be where they're gonna get somebody -- too few customers probably and three feet beyond with the with the storm.

-- -- We'll take it seriously we take it seriously from now on now we always ask Leo he's do you look at -- can keep up -- this year.
