Huge winter storm barrels toward East Coast as snow and ice blanket large parts of US
"A massive winter storm is battering the US this weekend, bringing heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain to millions of Americans. The storm, which is set to stretch over 2,000 miles from New Mexico to Maine, hit the south-central US on Friday night and has since been making its way eastward. The National Weather Service (NWS) warned it would move into the Mid-Atlantic states on Saturday night before pushing into the Northeast late on Sunday,"
"Heavy snow is continuing to fall across large parts of the US on Sunday morning, but it is expected to concentrate in eastern regions by the evening. The NWS has predicted that more than 12 inches could fall from the Ohio Valley through the northern mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Sunday, with almost double that possible in parts of New England and the inner Northeast."
"The agency said power outages, tree damage, and dangerous travel conditions are also likely across parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic as a result of freezing rains and lingering icing. Major cities in the weather system's projected path include Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, Washington, DC, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston. Some of the worst hit states so far include Arkansas, where some areas recorded around seven inches of snowfall through Friday night into Saturday."
A massive winter storm is impacting a corridor over 2,000 miles from New Mexico to Maine as it moves eastward into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain are falling across large areas, concentrating in eastern regions by Sunday evening. The National Weather Service forecasts more than 12 inches from the Ohio Valley through the northern mid-Atlantic and Northeast, with nearly double amounts in parts of New England and the inner Northeast. Freezing rain and lingering icing will likely cause power outages, tree damage, and hazardous travel across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. Arkansas and Oklahoma have seen significant snowfall and face additional rounds into Sunday.
