Millions of Americans throughout the Northeast are facing hazardous travel conditions Tuesday as a winter storm is dumping snow across the region.
Real-time traffic data from Google showed slow-moving interstates in Pennsylvania, New York and New England as the National Weather Service said “snowfall totals of 4-8 inches are expected with locally higher amounts possible.”
“Hazardous travel expected during the Tuesday AM commute — if you must be on the road, take extra caution and make sure your car is stocked with emergency supplies,” the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency warned in a tweet.
Parts of New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine could see up to a foot of snow, according to forecasts Tuesday.
