The Northeast was blanketed with snow on Sunday as Winter Storm Quade hit the area - less than a week after Orlena dumped as much as two feet on the region.

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicted up to eight inches of snow for New York City and two to four inches in Washington, DC. The corridor from Philadelphia to New York and Boston could see significant snow accumulation, forecasters said. 

According to the NWS, the 'highest reports so far have been across portions of NE NJ into SW CT where 5 to around 7 inches of new snow has fallen'.

'Heavy snow band is now making its way into Long Island,' the NWS tweeted. 

The NWS has issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories from parts of the mid-Atlantic to the New York Tri-state area and portions New England.  

Storm Quade has so far caused the cancellations of 81 flights from Newark Liberty International Airport.

New York's JFK and LaGuardia airports have advised passengers to keep an eye on their flight status before heading to the airports.

For the New York City area, forecasters said the snow should taper off closer to Sunday evening, but warned of travel chaos brought on by the storm and snow that's still being cleaned up from Orlena, which dropped more than 17 inches of snow on the Big Apple.   

Storm Orlena also dropped more than 30 inches of snow on parts of New Jersey. 

Residents of New York and New Jersey were warned of slippery roads, reduced visibility and travel delays. New York officials sent out a warning that strong winds may cause power outages.  

Forecasters predicted several inches of snow would fall along the New England coast, saying the precise amount would depend on how quickly the storm moved through the region.

Weather service forecaster Bob Oravec said a mix of snow and rain would move northward up the East Coast. 'It is a fast-moving storm,' Oravec said.

Temperatures in New York City are expected to drop from the mid-30s on Sunday afternoon to the 20s overnight, and remain below freezing until Tuesday. 

'Some of the snow may melt as it falls, especially on paved surfaces during the daylight hours on Sunday, and this can cut down on the accumulation somewhat in these metro areas,' said AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski. 

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday's snowfall, which started at around 9am in the city, would not close all of the COVID-19 vaccination sites.

The massive snowstorm that hit the region on February 1 forced the postponement of hundreds of vaccination appointments in New York and elsewhere.
