Northeast Pummeled By Snow
National Forecast, Image: NOAA
TV forecasters in Philadelphia and Scranton, Pennsylvania, New York City, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Rochester, New York are preparing viewers for another winter storm that could dump another foot of the white stuff in some locations.
It’s been a messy winter for the Northeast. Washington D.C. was shut down for almost an entire week because of the amount of snow on the ground in the nation’s capital.

Storm after storm has been forming in the Gulf of Mexico, picking up moisture from the tropics and directing it toward the East Coast of the United States. Yesterday, I talked about the two weather patterns that have been colliding over the United States this winter: El Nino and the Arctic Oscillation. See yesterday’s MYL blog for more information on that.
Meanwhile, tune in to your local TV forecasters across the US for your latest winter forecast.

A fast moving storm has dumped snow across Houston and other portions of East Texas, and Southern Louisiana. Since the storm is quickly exiting to the east, winter weather advisories have now been issued for portions of central Alabama, Tennessee, the Virginias, Maryland and D.C.. From there, the storm is expected to move out to sea.
