Blizzard Hits Northeast
Valentine`s Day Mess (State College, PA) - An intensifying Nor'easter
will not show any love for the Northeast on this Valentine's Day.
Blizzard conditions continue from upstate New York to New England,
while a treacherous wintry mix of precipitation has created travel
problems along the Interstate 95 corridor from Boston to Washington,
D.C. Behind the storm, drier weather will allow the Midwest and South
to start cleaning up after Tuesday's pounding.
The national radar not only shows the large area of snow and wintry
mix that covers the Northeast this morning, but also the drier weather
that has returned to the Midwest and South.
The Winter Weather Center has details on the widespread winter-related
warnings in effect across the Northeast on this Valentine's Day.
The storm today will continue to intensify into a powerful Nor'easter
as it heads north. Blizzard conditions from upstate New York to Maine
will result in blowing and drifting snow and dangerously low
visibility. With plenty of moisture in the atmosphere ready to be
unloaded, over a foot is forecast from northern Pennsylvania to Maine
and more than 18 inches forecast from the western Catskill Mountains
of New York to the higher terrain in Maine.
Road and air travel in the Northeast today will be extremely
difficult. The Flight Delay Map has up-to-date information on airport
delays across the nation. Air travelers should also check with their
airline before heading to the airport.
Along the Interstate 95 corridor from Boston to Washington, D.C., warm
air being drawn into the storm is turning the precipitation to a nasty
mix of snow, ice pellets, freezing rain and rain. The icy weather
overnight is being blamed for a deadly six-vehicle crash on New
Jersey's Garden State Parkway. Freezing rain in New Jersey led to
power outages in Cape May County.
As the storm shifts farther north and colder air arrives, the
precipitation Philadelphia to New York City will turn back to snow by
this afternoon. Tonight, cold air will create areas of black ice along
the Interstate 95 corridor, creating more hazardous travel conditions
from Boston to Washington D.C.
The East Regional News story has additional details on today's storm
across the Northeast.
Arctic air will return to the Northeast in the wake of the storm. The
frigid air will bring back significantly lower RealFeel® temperatures,
while strong westerly winds blowing over the long fetch of open water
will result in more lake-effect snow to the lee of Lake Ontario.

The clash Tuesday of warm, moist air and the cold air in place across
the Midwest created a widespread swath of snow across the region. As
reported in the Midwest Regional News story, the storm dumped 15.8
inches on an area just southwest of Springfield, Ill. The city of
Springfield officially received 11.2 inches, the 4th greatest 24-hour
snowfall in the city's history.
Strong northeast winds created blinding blizzard conditions and
hazardous travel. Visibility fell to less than a quarter of a mile in
Pontiac, Ill., leaving motorists stranded and vehicles in ditches.
According to the Associated Press, the snowstorm forced the University
of Illinois in Champaign to cancel classes for the first time since
1979.
AP reports a nine-year-old girl died when an ice-covered tree limb
fell on her as she walked her dog and at least four people were killed
in weather-related traffic crashes. A prolonged period of ice brought
down trees and power lines across the southern parts of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio.
The warm side of the storm Tuesday sparked severe storms across the
Gulf Coast. An elderly lady was killed when a tornado tore through the
Gentilly district of New Orleans, one of the areas hardest hit by
Hurricane Katrina. More than two dozen people were injured and dozens
of homes, FEMA trailers and buildings were damaged when the powerful
storms plowed through the Gulf Coast region.
The Special Weather section on the News Summary page reports the clash
of Gulf moisture with colder air pouring in from the northwest sparked
the early morning tornado
