NEW YORK (AP) – The work week is expected to get off to a slippery start as forecasters warn that a storm is bringing freezing rain, sleet and snow from the Ozarks to New England.

Poor driving conditions are expected through much of the day Monday as the storm moves northeastward from the mid-Mississippi Valley. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for an area stretching from near St. Louis to southern New England.

Light freezing rain is forecast for Washington and Baltimore, while Philadelphia and New York are expected to see freezing rain, sleet and light snow. Boston could see periods of freezing rain and sleet.

Snowfall across the area, including the southern Great Lakes, northern Pennsylvania, New York and New England is expected to be 3 inches or less.
