Powerful Winds Will Cause Whiteouts
Updated: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 3:02 PM


The blizzard that will impact the Northeast through Wednesday night will produce very strong winds and significant blowing and drifting of snow from northern Virginia through southern New England Wednesday and into early Thursday morning.


The strongest winds will hug the coast from New Jersey to coastal southern New England with gusts to 50 mph. Strong northwesterly winds on the back side of the storm will also sweep down the Chesapeake region.


Blowing snow will greatly reduce visibility and could drift as high as 4 feet in some spots.
