Unlike the days-long Nor'easter that began on Monday, Feb. 1, this one will be a quick-moving system.
The current time frame for the snow to arrive will be from south to north and from west to east, starting from approximately 8 a.m.and continuing until about nightfall, just as Super Bowl LV is underway in Tampa, Florida.
Current projections call for generally 3 for 6 inches of snowfall 7 with higher amounts along the coast. (See the first image above.)
Many areas farther north, and especially west, will be spared significant snowfall, with 2 to 3 inches of accumulation on average predicted there.
See the first image above to view snowfall projections for the entire Northeast.
Higher totals are likely on Long Island and coastal Connecticut, where 5 to 8 inches are now expected, according to projections by the National Weather Service released Sunday morning.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the New York City metro area, Long Island, Connecticut, and northeast New Jersey from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
"Snowfall rates around 1 inch per hour are possible for a period during the late morning and early afternoon," the National Weather Service said in a statement issued Sunday morning. "If heavier snow banding stays south and east of these areas, snowfall amounts would fall to the lower end of the forecast range."
Monday, Feb. 8, will be sunny but frigid with a high temperature in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees, with wind-chill values in the teens.
The next chance for snow will come on Tuesday, Feb. 9 with snow and sleet possible in the morning into around midday. About 1 to 2 inches of snowfall is possible. It will be mostly cloudy throughout the day with a high temperature in the low to mid 30s.
