Videos: SE Tornadoes, NE Ice, Snow Totals

UPDATE: Here are some photos that I took yesterday. You can see photos from blog readers via the ADCPG below.

ORIGINAL REPORT:

The storm system gripping the Eastern United States this morning brought tornadoes to the Southeast last night while ice covered parts of the mid-Atlantic and heavy snow dropped on parts of the Appalachians and New England.

Videos are forthcoming of accidents in Virginia and tornado damage in the Sunshine State.

Here's a list of snowfall amounts as of 9 AM (will be updated later today) - highest report per state as reported by The NWS [JessePedia]Spotter Reports (black), our SnowMatrix

, and SkiReport.com

*Multiple locations including State College, State College, Pennsylvania, home of AccuWeather HQ [Google Map]. I also measured 6 inches at my home.

**Confirmed with observer, this was actual measurement from Chickoree Mountain. A local TV meteorologist also reported 12" on a nearby mountain.

Ice was reported across the Ohio Valley and Northeast but no reports of over 1/4" were received. Here is a video of the slick roads in Virginia yesterday:
