Two more winter storms ahead over the next week
After the winter storm currently pounding the Plains passes through the Northeast, we’re not done with winter weather by a long shot.
Wintry travel conditions were reported over 750,000 square miles during Tuesday’s storm, according to AccuWeatheras more than 30 states were affected with snow, ice, rain and thunderstorms.
The onslaught of winter weather has left over 400,000 homes and businesses without power along the East Coast, with New York and Pennsylvania seeing the highest number of outages at over 100,000 each, according to Poweroutage.US.
Michigan, Vermont, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida were also impacted by the storm and are seeing tens of thousands of people without power as of Wednesday morning.
According to weather forecasters, Tuesday’s storm was the opening act for what’s to come over the next week: A potential “bomb cyclone” blizzard for the Midwest, an arctic blast courtesy of the polar vortex, and possibly the first real East Coast snowstorm in years.
