Winter is not letting up much in the wake of Monday's blockbuster blizzard that buried parts of the coastal Northeast under 3 feet of snow.
Two additional storms will spread snow and ice across parts of the Midwest and Northeast before the end of the week, with another potentially impactful system looming early next week as cleanup efforts ramp up.

Given the magnitude of the bomb cyclone -- which AccuWeather estimates caused $34-38 billion in damage and economic losses -- the storms arriving this week are expected to be far less disruptive. However, even an inch of snow or a thin glaze of ice can still trigger accidents, flight delays and school closings.
The first storm, originating in western Canada, will move swiftly from the northern Great Lakes Tuesday to the interior Northeast Tuesday night, and then reach the coastal Northeast by midweek.
