Northeast Braces for Monster Blizzard of 2015

Blizzard warnings are in effect Monday from New Jersey through Maine as the worst winter storm in years hits the Northeast.

More than 50 million Americans can expect to be affected by the monster storm moving in from the Midwest.

The system brought a normal amount of snow to cities like Chicago, but for the East Coast, forecasters say it'll be super-sized.

"We are facing, most likely, one of the largest snow storms in the history of this city," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned.

Two to three feet of snow is expected to fall in New York City over the next two days. And forecasters say Boston could get up to 30 inches.

Travelers should expect hundreds of flights coming and going from the Northeast to be cancelled.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo warned New York City commuters that the blizzard could force the closure of the city's subways, metros and commuter trains.

Meanwhile, Baltimore has more than 200 plows on standby in an effort to keep their roads open during the massive storm.

"Because of the duration of this event being almost two and a half days, we expect this to be an extended response. The city is prepared with over 15,000 tons of salt," Baltimore City Department of Transportation Director William Johnson said.

Football fans, however, can rest easy.

The New England Patriots plan to be out of town and on their way to Phoenix for the Super Bowl before the storm arrives in Boston.
