11:35AM EST November 7. 2012 - A nor'easter bringing high winds and heavy snow took aim at storm-staggered New York and New Jersey on Wednesday, threatening storm surges and beach erosion that could complicate recovery efforts from last week's Superstorm Sandy.
Snow was already being reported Wednesday morning near Philadelphia and Atlantic City, according to AccuWeather, while Ice pellets have been reported in Long Island.
Snow was also reported around noon at JFK Airport and in Connecticut.
The National Weather Service predicted the storm would last into Thursday, bringing wind and wet snow to New Jersey, up to three inches of snow to Philadelphia and from six to 12 inches of snow to southeastern New York and New England.
United Airlines ? the nation's biggest carrier ? announced that it will suspend most service to and from the New York area from noon Wednesday to noon Thursday, USA TODAY's Ben Mutzabaugh reports on Today in the Sky.
