Korbel: Travel will be difficult to impossible

Blizzard conditions, with blowing snow and winds topping 50 mph, will make travel difficult or impossible for the duration of the storm, according to Newsday meteorologist Bill Korbel.

"This one, I am pretty sure is going to be the worst one of the winter, and maybe the worst one we've seen here in a few years," Korbel said in a weather update on NewsdayTV.

Between a foot to 20 inches of snow is in the forecast for most of Long Island through Monday and visibility will drop below a quarter of a mile. There is the potential for major coastal flooding, Korbel said.

"This storm has all the makings of being a really bad one," he said.
