New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a statewide emergency Tuesday ahead of the storm.

Philadelphia

Gov. Tom Wolf declared a state of emergency Tuesday, adding that additional workers with the state Emergency Management Agency will be on duty, according to a release.

All public and Parochial/Archdiocesan schools will be closed Wednesday, CBS Philly reports.

A snow emergency will be declared early Wednesday morning and all municipal courts and offices will be shut down, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Although no travel cancellations have been announced yet, transit authorities are monitoring the storm in Philadelphia.

"In general terms, with a storm like this that's expected to deliver wet, heavy snow and bring high winds, overhead rail power lines and downed trees in tracks and on roadways are a concern ," SEPTA Chief Press Officer Andrew Busch told the Enquirer.

The National Weather Service has warned that "travel will be very difficult to impossible" during both the morning and evening commute Wednesday in Philadelphia.

According to a statement from Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's office, the state will ban certain high profile vehicles , including empty straight trucks, large combination vehicles, tractors hauling empty trailers, trailers pulled by passenger vehicles, motorcycles and recreational vehicles, from some portions of interstates. These include Interstate 78 from the junction with Interstate 81 in Lebanon County to the New Jersey line, I-80 from the junction with I-81 to the New Jersey line, I-81 from the Maryland line to the New York line and I-84 from the junction with I-81 to the New York line. The ban begins midnight Tuesday and will remain in place "as long as warranted through the storm."

“This storm may not have the extremely high winds as the one last week, but it will dump significant amounts of snow across a wider area and that prospect is moving us to take additional aggressive steps to restrict heavier vehicles from the interstates,” Wolf said. “We must remember that weather is to a large extent unpredictable, but we are doing our utmost to station resources in as effective a way as possible.”

Boston

In Boston, transit authorities have announced cancellations of several shuttle bus routes for the rest of the week beginning Tuesday evening, including routes between North Quincy and Raintree.

In Duxbury, south of Boston, crews are frantically working to secure a seawall that was damaged last week by surging seas and high winds from Winter Storm Riley , WBZ-TV reported.

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation is asking residents to refrain from traveling during the storm.

“This storm will bring heavy snowfall to areas across the state throughout Wednesday and into Thursday, which could create hazardous travel conditions, especially for the Wednesday evening commute when the snowfall may be at its heaviest,” said Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver. “We advise members of the public to stay off the roads if possible, consider working from home or postponing travel plans and taking public transit if they must travel during this storm. Those who are out on the roadways should give themselves extra time to reach their destinations, travel at reduced speeds, and leave plenty of space between themselves and other vehicles.”

New York City

The National Weather Service warned residents in New York City to expect travel delays Wednesday and Thursday.

Joe Lhota, chairman of the city's Metropolitan Transportation Authority, told reporters during a phone conference call Tuesday the storm is likely to have a "significant impact" on the city's subway system , the Brownsville Patch reports.

"The MTA is taking this storm very, very seriously," Lhota said. "We're ramping up all of our operations and we will be prepared."

Kathryn Garcia, the NYC sanitation commissioner, said at a Tuesday afternoon press conference that the expected wet, heavy snow could pose a problem for power lines.

"We need to be sure we stay ahead of the snowfall," she said.

Garcia said 693 snowplows are ready to go at the "first signs of snowflakes." Another 1600 snowplows can be deployed, if needed.
