More winter weather on the way behind blockbuster blizzard
Additional chances for snow are on the way this week across the Northeast as many will start to dig out from the blockbuster blizzard
It will take time for cities in the Northeast to recover from this past weekend’s blockbuster blizzard.
Behind the blockbuster nor'easter that blanketed much of the Interstate-95 corridor with feet of snow, AccuWeather meteorologists warn that cold weather will persist early in the week, with additional chances for wintry weather through the week.
Cold early week, some improvement midweek
As the storm departs, blustery cold air has moved in behind it, causing some untreated areas of slush and standing water to freeze. High temperatures Tuesday in Philadelphia, New York City and Boston will top out just around the freezing mark. February sun will work against these temperatures, helping bring some melting for multiple hours on Tuesday.
By midweek, balmy air will move into the region, allowing temperatures to rise back into the 40s across much of the Northeast, further helping melt away the snow. Still, temperatures will drop near to below freezing at night, leading to fresh icy spots on streets, sidewalks and parking lots.
More winter weather on the way
Those hoping for winter weather to be over after the nor'easter will have to wait, as two more chances will unfold this week.

A clipper storm will track across the Great Lakes Tuesday and Wednesday, spreading a swath of snow from northern Minnesota into New England. Farther south, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York City, snow can mix with rain as the storm moves through the region.
While snow totals will not be as significant as the nor'easter, any streets and sidewalks that have already been cleared of any snow can become snow covered again, especially from Pennsylvania to Maine.
On the heels of the clipper storm, another fast-moving storm will make its way into the Midwest Wednesday night, reaching the eastern United States later Thursday into Thursday night. Cold air in place can support a stripe of snow north of the storm track. On the southern fringe of the cold, it's possible precipitation could be a mix of rain, snow and ice.
Meanwhile, on the southern side of the storm, where warmer air remains, any precipitation will be plain rain with the risk of thunderstorms.
