NEW YORK — A winter weather system moving across the US is expected to slam the East Coast this weekend with a mix of snow and freezing rain from the southern Appalachians to the Northeast – although it's still too early to say exactly which areas will get which precipitation and how . a lot of.
Details about the storm's path should strengthen this week as the Pacific system moves through Colorado and New Mexico on Thursday, into Texas and the Southeast before moving up the East Coast, said Tony Fracasso, a meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center of the National Weather Service at the university. Park, Maryland.
“It's still a few days away, so we'll have to figure out the storm track — where the precipitation will fall and how long the cold air can stay,” he said Wednesday.
Major American cities accustomed to white winters – such as Boston, Washington, DC and Philadelphia – did not have much snow last year due to a lack of cold air.
