Winter looks to be taking aim on the Kansas City region this weekend with snow and dangerous cold on the menu.

A winter storm is headed to the Tri-State Area with heavy snow expected. New Yorkers could see a significant amount with more than 6 inches Sunday night into Monday.

Ahead of the snow, a cold weather advisory has been issued for the Poconos from 7 p.m. Jan. 23 to 10 a.m. Jan. 24. Pike and Wayne counties could see wind chills as low as -25, while Carbon and Monroe may get as low as -20.

Arctic air is expected to arrive Thursday night across Colorado and persist through the weekend, bringing freezing temperatures and snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Mixed precipitation -- snow and ice -- are likely to begin Saturday. We will see winter weather, but it's too early to be confident about the precise location and amounts.

Late Saturday night through early Sunday: Several hours of freezing rain and freezing drizzle, which could allow ice to accumulate on trees, power lines, bridges and untreated roads. Sunday: Precipitation may become more mixed, with sleet and cold rain, and possibly a few snowflakes mixed in at times.

THE MAJOR THING, LIKE YOU SAID, IS THE COLD AND THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND THE LITTLE WRINKLE IN THE FORECAST. LIKE I SAID, AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME FREEZING RAIN. THAT’S NOT A GOOD THING.

A 'major snow storm is headed to the Northeast, AccuWeather says, bringing what could be several inches of snow to NJ. Here's timing, what to expect.
