Storm unleashes moderate snow, slippery travel in northeastern US

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

A snowstorm will wind down over the coastal Northeast Wednesday evening after a light to moderate snowfall in many areas.

Static NE Snonwstorm 2 pm Final

Enough snow to shovel and plow accumulated across much of West Virginia, parts of Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey and upstate New York through Tuesday night. Up to 9 inches of snow fell on south-central Pennsylvania with 4-8 inches of snow common in northeastern Pennsylvania, part of New York's Hudson Valley and the Berkshires. Roads were snow-covered and slippery Wednesday morning.

On Wednesday, colder air began to invade the storm and caused rain along the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts to change to snow.

Static Total Snowfall NE 11 am

As temperatures plummet in the wake of the storm Wednesday night, areas that were wet and slushy will freeze as the effectiveness of most ice-melting compounds will be diminished. Motorists and pedestrians should be wary of patches of ice, even if roads and sidewalks appear to be wet.

"Bombogenesis is not expected with the storm," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Pydynowski.

In fact, a storm bringing snow to the Carolinas has helped to prevent the storm near New England from becoming very strong.

Through the end of the week, since there will be natural melting by day and a freeze-up at night, the risk of patches of black ice will continue.

Another thaw will commence by this weekend.
