The major Nor'easter, expected to arrive overnight Monday into Tuesday, will bring with it heavy snow and gusty winds that could lead to power outages. This can lead to whiteout conditions and make travel very dangerous.

Monday will also be brisk with a high struggling to reach the freezing mark under partly sunny skies.
