A fast-moving storm system is bringing a mix of rain, sleet, and snow, causing slippery travel trouble throughout the Northeast on what’s a white Christmas Eve.
The wintry precipitation is falling from Washington, DC to Boston on Tuesday, Dec. 24, with up to a foot of snowfall in some spots.
For a look at where slippery travel is expected and predicted precipitation types by location, see the first image above on the AccuWeather map.
“Roads will become snow covered due to recent cold weather, resulting in slippery travel conditions,” the National Weather Service says. “Anyone planning to travel Tuesday morning should use extra caution.”
As the system traverses east, the wintry mix will begin to weaken, leaving 1 to 3 inches of snowfall for much of the region, with some spots seeing between a half-foot and even a foot.

Accumulating snow will quickly come to an end from late Tuesday into the early afternoon with temperatures rising into the middle and upper 30s in the afternoon.
