Snow, sleet, and heavy winds are hitting New York City and the rest of the Tri-State area pretty heavily on Tuesday morning. The Weather Channel downgrades the snowfall projection, with 8 to 12 inches. New York City will receive closer to 8 inches of snow, a far cry from the predicted 12-24 inch forecast that sent NYC in a frenzy. The blizzard warning has been canceled for New York City, replacing it with a Winter Weather Advisory.
