How much snow falls in the city and in surrounding areas will depend on the track of the storm and how much of a breeze off the mild Atlantic Ocean will develop."
The National Weather Service is advising that "If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
