    Airlines have already cancelled 1,422 flights for Monday as a major blizzard is predicted to hit the Northeast, bringing as much as two feet or more of snow from New Jersey to Maine.

    Another 1,012 flights have also been cancelled for Tuesday and that number is expected to rise, according to FlightAware.com.

    The storm expected to rapidly intensify Monday evening began as a clipper system that brought snow and slick roads to the Midwest on Sunday.

    The clipper system was east through the night Sunday and was expected to reach the Mid-Atlantic region by Monday morning, bringing light to moderate snow from the eastern Ohio Valley to the I-95 corridor between Washington, D.C. to New York City.

    Coastal New England continued to get walloped today by as much as two-and-a-half feet of snow as a massive Nor'easter blew through with blizzard conditions.

    Snowfall totals were up to 32.5 inches in Auburn, Massachusetts, 30.5 inches in Thompson, Connecticut, 28.5 inches in Orient, New York, and 20.8 inches in Boston, with snow continuing to fall.

    "I want to make it clear to everyone in Boston that we're still in the middle of a winter storm of historic proportions," Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said shortly after 3:30 p.m.

    The city feared an additional six inches of snowfall, Walsh added, with snowy conditions expected late into the evening.
