Parts of New England were expected to hit the low 50s Tuesday, which could be considered balmy to some who braved the freak October snowstorm that dropped more than 2 feet of snow in some places over the weekend.

A snow storm of "historic proportions" will cover 3/4 of the United States this week, with snowfall hitting from New Mexico to New England, according to CNN.The snow, expected to start falling on Tuesday, will drop as much as a foot of snow in Missouri and Illinois.

A snowstorm that could last up to 18 hours was on its way to southern New England, and Boston could be snowed under with up to 15 inches, the National Weather Service said today.
