Snow was expected in the Dakotas, Minnesota and parts of the upper Great Lakes, forecasters said. In New York City, heavy rains prompted flood watches.

A storm system that was bringing hazardous wintry weather to the Northeast and the Plains states on Saturday will linger into the start of the week, the National Weather Service said.

“This storm system is going to be multifaceted,” said Rich Otto, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Md. “Up north, that’s where we’ll have the winter impacts, and then further south, there will be potential for fire weather concerns across the High Plains.”

Some areas across New England were hit with heavy snowfall.

Snow started falling in Vermont on Friday, with areas of higher elevation in Windsor and Rutland Counties recording 10 to 17 inches of snow as of Saturday afternoon, said Rebecca Duell, a meteorologist with the Weather Service in Burlington, Vt.

The city of Burlington had about six inches of snow as of Saturday afternoon, she said. The snow was expected to stop around midnight.

Albany, N.Y., recorded about 2.5 inches of snow as of Saturday afternoon. More than 50 miles north, the Glens Falls area had up to 15 inches of snow as of 2 p.m. on Saturday, said Brian Frugis, a meteorologist for the local Weather Service office.

The region also experienced freezing rain, which caused some branches to fall, leading to power outages in the area, he said.
