A new coast-to-coast winter storm is forecast to pummel parts of California, the Midwest and US north-east this week.
Parts of the north-east could see up to 8in (20cm) of snow, the National Weather Service (NWS) said, with New York City getting 2-6in. ... Further heavy snow is forecast on the other side of the country for California's mountainous areas. ... It comes as 12 people were injured by tornadoes in Oklahoma. ... "New York City will be on the southern edge of the heaviest snowfall and could mix with sleet at times, limiting snowfall amounts to the 2-6 [inch] range, but still likely the biggest snowstorm of the season," the NWS said in its latest forecast.
Snow began falling on Monday evening and is expected to turn into a mix of sleet and rain into Tuesday morning. ... A travel advisory had been issued for New Yorkers from 18:00 (23:00 GMT) on Monday to 14:00 on Tuesday, urging people to use mass transit whenever possible and to allow extra time for their commutes.
The late February storm is the heaviest in New York City this season. New Yorkers, like much of the north-east, have had an unusually mild winter so far. ... Several school districts in the city announced they will be closed on Tuesday because of the weather.
Winter storm warnings are also in effect for all of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Heavy snow across the north-east is expected to come to an end on Wednesday, the NWS said. ... This winter storm comes at the heels of tornadoes and powerful winds that have hit central US on Sunday and Monday in states like Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas, where residents were urged to seek shelter.
