snow storm be issue in USA

Here’s when — and how hard — snowstorm will hit

After this morning’s icy mess, I spent the afternoon walking around the yard looking at some signs of spring: My bulbs are poking up through the ground, my hamamelis is just ready to bloom, and the dogs enjoyed a mild (though muddy) walk. Although it felt a bit like early April for a few hours, we are all about to be hit with a heavy dose of reality.

Nor’easters are called nor’easters because as the storm approaches, the winds blow from the northeast. These winds are going to be strong enough along the coast to create blizzard conditions. A blizzard has nothing to do with the amount of snow, but rather serves more as a visibility and wind advisory. It means you won’t be able to see more than a quarter mile or less for three hours in a row because the winds will be blowing the snow so much. The most likely places to see a true blizzard tomorrow will be along the coast, south of Boston.
