A major winter storm is making post-Christmas road travel extremely dangerous in parts of the Northeast, and the storm is set to bring the most snow to New York City in years.

The storm is also impacting flights. More than 1,500 flights have been canceled so far on Friday, with New York City's three airports and the Philadelphia International Airport hit the hardest.

New Jersey and New York are under state of emergencies.

"Please continue to monitor your local forecast, avoid unnecessary travel and if you must travel, take all necessary precautions to ensure you arrive safely," New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

Heavy snow is expected to hit parts of New York, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut, western Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

The heaviest snow began moving into the tristate area Friday afternoon and will continue through the night, making travel difficult from Philadelphia to New York City to Albany, New York.

The snow began reaching New York City around 5 p.m. Friday and will continue overnight, ending around 7 a.m. New York City is forecast to get about 7 inches of snow -- the most snow in nearly four years.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams called it a "significant snow event" and said plows would be hitting the streets later Friday night.

Six to 10 inches of snow is possible from upstate New York to Long Island.

Philadelphia can expect 1 to 3 inches of snow along with a glaze of ice, making travel challenging on Friday night.

On Friday morning, the freezing rain moved into Pennsylvania and covered roads across the state with dangerous ice. An ice storm warning is in place in parts of western Pennsylvania, where numerous power outages and downed trees are possible.
