NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A massive winter storm was impacting New York City and a swath of the U.S., with up to a foot of snow and sleet possible in the Tri-State area when all is said and done on Monday.
About 8 to 12 inches of snow in total is expected in and around NYC. Amounts up to 18 inches are possible further inland in the Hudson Valley, North Jersey and Connecticut, according to AccuWeather.
Most of the snow had fallen by Sunday evening, with 10.6 inches recorded in Central Park. Sleet mixed with snow was expected to continue into the night before tapering off early Monday.

"This Arctic siege on our state is unrelenting and will continue for the next nine days," Gov. Kathy Hochul told 1010 WINS on Sunday evening.
"There will not be a single part of New York that goes above freezing temperature for nine days," the governor said. "And that's what we have to anticipate, prepare for."
