Winter Storm
Strong winter storm hits the Eastern United States, killing 8 people caused by icy roads, and leaving over 300,000 people, in several states, without electricity. The storm began Wednesday night as heavy rains moved through the Southeast while snow and ice affected parts of the Midwest into the Ohio Valley.
By Thursday rain moved into the Mid-Atlantic, transitioning snow and ice in the Appalachians and by Thursday night heavy snow moved into upstate New York and New England. The storm first hit the midwest states as a mixture of rain, snow, and ice, with heavy rain in the south, and leaving up to one foot of snow in some places and freezing rain and ice in other areas throughout the Northeast, causing school closures, flight cancellations and long delays for drivers.
According to the National Weather Service, snow in the Northeast is expected to end Saturday morning but gusty winds and coastal flooding will continue. A cold front will drop more snowfall from the Great Lakes to New England's interior up into Sunday.
The storm moved up from the Gulf of Mexico up the eastern seaboard which brought flooding to the southeast and mid-Atlantic and a wide spread of snow from the Deep South to New England.
