Late Winter Storm Bringing Snow To U.S. South, Northeast

The National Weather Service said 7 to 12 inches could be expected in northern areas of Pennsylvania and New York.

A late winter storm blowing into the northeastern United States on Saturday had forecasters warning of as much as a foot of snow and high winds after the system brought wintry conditions to southern states.

The National Weather Service said 7 to 12 inches could be expected in northern areas of Pennsylvania and New York, with winds gusting as high as 45 mph.

Philadelphia residents, while expecting only a few inches of snow, were warned that blizzard-like conditions were possible at one point, and later a flash freeze was possible with wet surfaces rapidly becoming icy due to falling temperatures.
