A major snowstorm is set to hit much of the United States, with extreme snowfall warnings indicating accumulations could exceed 30 centimeters in parts of the East Coast, including New York.
A new snowstorm is threatening much of the United States this Sunday, with weather authorities forecasting snowfall accumulations that could surpass 30 centimeters in wide areas of the East Coast, particularly in New York City. This follows a violent winter storm that left more than 100 dead at the end of January, prompting major cities in the Northeast, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and Washington, to brace for another extreme event characterized by heavy snowfall, strong winds, and the risk of power outages.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that certain areas, such as Boston, may see snow accumulations ranging from 30 to 60 centimeters, while other cities in the Mid-Atlantic and the Appalachians are expected to record between 23 and 45 centimeters of snow. With these predictions, the combination of intense snowfall and blustery winds is likely to make travel "nearly impossible" in some regions of the East Coast, heightening concerns about safety and mobility during the storm.
As preparations unfold across the affected areas, authorities are urging residents to stay informed of weather updates and take necessary precautions to safeguard against potential hazards, including property damage and transportation disruptions. This storm adds to an already challenging winter season that has affected countless individuals and communities, raising questions about climate patterns and the increasing frequency of severe weather events in the region.
