Deadly winter storm heads for East Coast

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A huge winter storm barreled toward the East Coast on Sunday after dumping more than a foot of snow on the Upper Midwest, causing seven traffic deaths in Wisconsin and closing major highways in the Plains.

Parts of Wisconsin could get 18 to 24 inches of snow before the storm passes, said Tom Zajdel, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Sullivan, Wisconsin. Heavy snow was also forecast for Michigan.

As the storm moved northeast, it was expected to bring heavy precipitation to much of the East.

Freezing rain was forecast for the Ohio Valley and into New England, with showers and thunderstorms expected mainly east of the Appalachians. Severe weather was possible along the Southeast coast.

Re: Deadly winter storm heads for East Coast

just looked this up...

THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF
THE STORM. THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT AS TO THE TYPE OF PRECIPITATION AND HOW MUCH FALLS ACROSS THE REGION.
