New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and neighboring states can expect a delayed but severe winter chill in late January, according to reports released by AccuWeather and the, which provide long-range weather forecasts. Above-normal snowfall could also be in store for the Northeast, while states just south of the region like Washington, D.C., and Maryland are likely to see a mix of rain and snow.
