Uh-oh: Is New York City's sanitation department ready for another epic snowstorm? The storm currently wreaking havoc on the southern US will merge with a Midwest storm today, potentially resulting in another blizzard tomorrow night in the same northeastern area that got pounded by snow after Christmas. The storm could bring six to 12 inches or more of snow, plus high winds, AOL News reports. It is expected to affect northern New Jersey all the way to eastern New England.
