Powerful winter storm impacting Northeastern U.S.

An intense  storm system moving from the Ohio Valley into the Northeast is bringing accumulating snow from the Lower Great Lakes to northern New England, said the NWS, forecasting more than a foot of snow for some areas, with damaging winds being the main threat.

The forecasters have predicted

• Heavy snow for Northern Maine
• Temperatures as much as 25 degrees below average from parts of the Great Lakes to the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic
• Temperatures as much as 15 degrees above average over parts of the Northern/Central Plains [creating a massive stage for extreme weather events]

Deadly Storm

At least three people were killed and several others seriously injured in a pileup of more than 50 cars and trucks on a 2-mile stretch of the Ohio Turnpike, one of several multiple car crashes in the Buckeye State, after ice and snow covered the Great Lakes region and reduced visibility to near zero on Wednesday, according to media reports quoting state and county officials.
