As the second storm leaves the Midwest and approaches the East Coast late Wednesday, snow may turn to more of a wintry mix in places in the Mid-Atlantic from Wednesday night into Thursday morning. A wintry mix could lead to icy conditions across the Southern Appalachians during both events.

The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

The five boroughs could see less snow accumulation if the powerful snowstorm blowing in from the Midwest transitions to a wintry mix of sleet and rain as midnight approaches.
