A picturesque winter scene as a major storm approaches during Super Bowl weekend.
A significant winter storm is set to hit the eastern United States just in time for Super Bowl weekend, with over 80 million people facing hazardous weather conditions. This storm, which originated on the West Coast, is expected to bring heavy snow and mixed precipitation across several states, including Boston and New York City, likely resulting in the largest snowfall seen in years. Residents are advised to stay updated on local forecasts and prepare for potential travel disruptions as the storm approaches.
Heads up, everyone! The second of five winter storms is rolling into town, and it’s packing more snow and ice than the last one that wreaked havoc across the Midwest and Northeast. If you thought it was bad before, just wait until you hear what’s coming next!
This storm has already made its mark on the West Coast and is now trekking its way through the northern Rockies, making its grand entry into the central U.S. Estimated to complete its coast-to-coast journey in less than 72 hours, this little weather phenomenon is sure to grab everyone’s attention.
Mark your calendars because this isn’t an ordinary snow day! More than 80 million people across the eastern United States will experience some form of hazardous winter weather during Super Bowl weekend. Fans getting ready for the big game should keep a close eye on the forecast!
The jet stream is doing its thing, funneling these storms straight from west to east. Right now, it seems to be on a steady course, and it isn’t expected to change much until mid-February. So, expect several more wintery surprises to pop up in the coming weeks!
Looking specifically at the snowy forecast, areas in the East—especially Boston and New York City—might see more snow in the next two weeks than they’ve experienced in the last two winters combined. That’s a lot of white stuff!
Let’s break it down into bite-sized chunks. As we roll into Saturday, snow accumulation will begin in the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. As the storm intensifies, a mix of rain and freezing rain will spread from Missouri to the central Appalachians by Saturday morning. Don’t be surprised if the Great Lakes region sees a healthy dose of snow as well.
Here are some specific predictions you might want to note:
By Saturday afternoon, an icy mix is likely to coat areas caught between different precipitation zones. By Saturday evening, a combo of freezing rain, sleet, and snow will sweep over Pennsylvania, and right after that, the messy mix will hit New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island.
New Englanders, rejoice! Many regions are expected to see higher snow accumulations than the previous storm. Central New York to southern Maine could receive at least 6 inches, while Boston could be in for a foot of snow, easily exceeding its total from last winter. Talk about a snow day!
As the storm winds down by mid-morning on Sunday, most of the Northeast will finally catch a break, although lingering snow might still grace Maine and coastal New England into the early afternoon. A little breather is on the horizon early next week, but don’t get too comfortable—another storm could roll in as soon as Monday evening!
Let’s not forget our friends in Canada. Parts of Ontario will also be affected by this massive weather system with forecasts showing a mix of freezing rain and snow. Total snowfall could range from 2 to 10 centimeters, so keep your shovels handy!
As you prepare for this stormy weekend, be sure to stock up on your favorite snacks and cozy up with some blankets. Whether you’re cheering on your favorite team or just enjoying a quiet snow day, stay safe and warm, and keep an eye on those weather updates!
