Winter Storm Threatens East Coast With Heavy Snow
Storm and Baltimore, and nearly as much for Philadelphia. New York City's expected total was upped Friday to a foot or more. But Sullivan said the winds are going to be the real problem, that's when we'll see possible power outages. The result could create snowdrifts 4 to 5 feet high, so even measuring it for records could be difficult. By evening, wet, heavy snow was falling in the capital, making downed power lines more likely, and yet many people remained on the roads, Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said. Find a safe place and stay there, she beseeched. Anyone traveling risks getting stuck for hours, marooned in odd places, or killed, authorities warned. At least seven people died in storm-related crashes before the worst of the storm, including Stacy Sherrill, whose car plummeted off an icy road in Tennessee. Her husband survived after climbing for hours up a 300-foot embankment.
