A storm will rapidly intensify off the Middle Atlantic seaboard Wednesday,
bringing blizzard conditions to the Middle Atlantic region and southern New
England, including the major cities of Philadelphia and New York.
The combination of strong winds and heavy snowfall on Wednesday will cause some
roads to become impassable as the snow quickly accumulates and drifts. Snow
drifts could reach 4 feet in many areas by Wednesday night. The winds will howl
past 40 mph at times, with some gusts to 50 mph along the coast.
Motorists who are able to travel will encounter whiteout conditions and very
slick, snow-covered roads throughout the day and into the evening. In addition
to blowing and drifting the snow, the winds could down snow-laden trees and
power lines.
Combined with bitterly cold air, the winds will send AccuWeather RealFeel
temperatures plummeting into the lower teens Wednesday.
