Snickers the Wonderdog encountering a miniature snowman (snowbaby?) in February 2023, when under 1″ (2.5 cm) of snow fell in New York City.
The National Weather Service said that Arctic air will spread South and East from the Rockies starting on Friday. The bitter cold temperatures willl continue through next week and snow squalls are possible.
“A winter storm is likely to track up the East Coast this Sunday evening into Monday but the exact track is uncertain,” the NWS said. The final track will determine the ammount of snowfall throughout the region, although curent estimates indicate anywhere from 3” to 10” (7.62 cm to 25.4 cm) of the white stuff could arrive.
The NWs reiterated the warning issued Friday indicating “dangerously cold wind chill temperatures,” which could reach -40° F, the one point at which they intersect. They are equal at -40 ° C and -40 ° F.
Temperatures are falling precipitously in the Plains, and this will also take place in the Deep South and Great Lakes areas Saturday night. Finally, the bitter cold weather will reach the Eastern Seaboard by Sunday night and it will linger for at least several days.
Expect “brief and intense bursts of snow and gusty winds in snow squalls” in many areas. This could lead to reduced visibility and deteriorating road conditions across the northern Plains into the Rockies through Friday.
