Sat Jan 18 10:40:00 UTC 2025: **Northeast Braces for Winter Storm Demi, Bringing Snow and Arctic Blast**
**New York, NY –** A major winter storm, dubbed “Demi” by The Weather Channel, is set to blanket the Northeast with snow this holiday weekend, potentially disrupting travel and even impacting Sunday’s NFL playoff game between the Rams and Eagles in Philadelphia.
Winter storm watches are in effect from northern Virginia to southern New England, with the heaviest snow expected in areas away from the I-95 corridor. While Saturday will see rain along the coast and light snow inland, the main impact will be Sunday as a low-pressure system strengthens and tracks northward along the Atlantic coast.
The amount of snowfall remains uncertain, depending on the storm’s exact path. A coastal track would bring heavier snow to major cities, while a more westward track would result in lighter accumulations. Philadelphia could see up to 5 inches, potentially creating hazardous travel conditions for the Eagles game. Other areas of the Northeast and New England are also expected to see several inches, leading to slick roads and possible airport delays Sunday evening into Monday morning. The mid-Atlantic, including Washington D.C., is also forecast for a few inches of snow.
Following the snow, dangerously cold temperatures and strong winds will sweep across the region early next week. Wind chills as low as -15 degrees Fahrenheit are possible in cities like Boston. The Weather Channel advises signing up for their Morning Brief email newsletter for daily updates.
