Next Big Mid-Atlantic Storm Could Target Philadelphia to NYC


People across the mid-Atlantic have little time to clean-up from the powerhouse snowstorm that dumped several feet of snow and created blizzard conditions across the region over the weekend. Another storm will bring more substantial snowfall Tuesday into Wednesday.

Early indications show this next storm could be another big one for Philadelphia and Baltimore. Both of these cities picked up over 20 inches of snow from the last storm Friday into Saturday.

This next storm could also be significant for areas farther north, including New York City, that escaped most of the heavy snow over the weekend. If all the right ingredients come together, snowfall totals could reach a foot or more from Philadelphia to New York City Tuesday into Wednesday.

For the areas farther south and west through southern Pennsylvania, Maryland and northern Virginia that were hammered with 20 to 30 inches or more of snow by the last storm, this next one appears it will not have as great of an impact.

However, enough snow is expected to fall in these places to create slow, dangerous travel. Delays and cancellations of flights, school and other activities will likely result.

Before this next storm hits, snow-removal crews will no doubt remain hard at work. Residents should be mindful that even roads that are cleared out could still be slippery through Monday. Black ice could develop the next couple of nights as melted snow freezes on roadways and sidewalks.

The monster storm that hit the mid-Atlantic Friday into Saturday pushed snowfall totals for the 2009-2010 season to record levels. This season has become the second snowiest of all time for Philadelphia and Wilmington, Del.

Snowfall from the next storm Tuesday into Wednesday could make the 2009-2010 winter season the snowiest ever for these cities. If not, there is plenty of winter left to make that happen.
