Weather Worries: Ice and Snow on I-95 Before Christmas

Get ready for some weather drama! Cities from New York to Boston might face a mix of frozen precipitation this weekend, just in time for one of the busiest travel times of the year. A blend of two weather systems, one from Canada and another off the East Coast, could create tricky travel conditions. The snowfall could range from a lot to a little, peaking at around three inches along I-95.

Temperatures will dip before Christmas, making roads slippery. Three cities — Boston, Providence, and Bridgeport — might get 1-3 inches of snow. New York City might miss out, but it’s not out of the woods just yet. The amount of snow depends on how these systems mix, where the cold air stays, and how much moisture the low brings in. After the quick snowfall, it’ll get really cold, with temperatures hitting the teens and single digits early next week, then warming up again for Christmas.
