ALBANY, New York (AP) -- Drivers in much of the Northeast navigated a treacherous mix of rain, sleet and snow Monday as a storm blamed for at least 11 deaths blanketed the region after glazing roads in the Midwest.
Lake-effect snow and high winds gusting to 40 mph hit parts of western New York Monday morning. Three to 6 inches fell in central New York state, and schools from New York to Maine either delayed or canceled class. Parts of northern New Jersey measured about 3 inches of snow.
"It's kind of a mess -- probably the best way to term it in one word," meteorologist Bob Kilpatrick said in Albany.
The National Weather Service said a foot of snow was possible in the mountains of northern New England, with the potential for 20 inches in northern Maine. Upstate New York's central Adirondacks and Lake George region could see 12 inches of snow.
Ice storm warnings were issued for Massachusetts and Connecticut, while winter storm warnings were in effect in Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and northern and western New York. On the other side of the weather system, winter storm warnings were issued for parts of Michigan, which could get 3 to 5 inches of snow by Monday afternoon.
