- Snow is expected to hit the Northeast through Monday with higher elevations anticipating up to 10 inches

Some states in the Northeast are expected to see their first snowfall of the season with some areas getting a snow blanket of up to 10 inches through Monday.
Northeastern Pennsylvania, upstate New York, northwest Connecticut, northwest New Jersey, New England, and western Massachusetts have all received Winter Weather Advisories as residents can expect large amounts of snowfall.
While the snow might stick more in the suburban areas of the states, northern New York City might also see a sheet of snow as well as the mid-Hudson Valley.
Up to 10 inches of snow might also be seen at high elevations, but the Catskills of New York and the western Massachusetts Berkshires can see up to six inches, according to Fox Weather.

On Monday, residents and commuters can expect one to three inches of snow in New York, northern New Jersey, New England, and northern Pennsylvania.
The conditions can lead to slippery roads, especially if the snowfall makes its way into cities.
Rain might also turn into snow on Sunday evening on the I-95 – just north of The Big Apple.
As of Sunday evening, light snow is predicted in New York City around 10pm local time until 1am leading into Monday.
If snow hits The Big Apple, it’ll be the first time the city has seen snow since March 27.

Snow in Monsey, New York was seen for the first time this winter as some areas in the state are expected to see up to three inches.
Footage of the snowfall captured cars, house roofs and grass covered with a light layer of snow.
Meanwhile, as those on the northwest wait for the snow to arrive, the other side of the US has been hit by heavy rain and several feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada.
The storm shut down mountain highways, toppled trees and triggered flood and avalanche warnings on Saturday from the coast of Northern California to Lake Tahoe.
More than 250 miles of the Sierra remained under a winter storm warning at least until early Monday from north of Reno to south of Yosemite National Park.
As much as 4 feet of snow is expected to fall by the end of the weekend in the upper elevations around Lake Tahoe, and as much as 6 feet in more remote parts of the Sierra to the north and south.
