Winter Storm Ravages Midwest and Northeast Amid Peak Travel Season
Winter Storm Strikes During Peak Travel Season
A powerful winter storm is battering the Midwest and Northeast during one of the year's busiest travel periods, causing significant disruptions across the region. The storm, which spans nearly two dozen states from Kansas to Maine, has already resulted in multiple travel incidents including vehicle pile-ups and aircraft mishaps. Airports in the Midwest are experiencing considerable delays as snow continues to accumulate on top of last weekend's record-breaking winter weather.
Widespread Impact and Travel Chaos
The system is bringing the first widespread accumulating snow of the season to much of the Northeast on Tuesday. Cities including Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Hartford are expecting their first noteworthy snowfall, with accumulations potentially significant enough to close schools and businesses. Meanwhile, rain and flooding threats persist along the Interstate 95 corridor, where a rain-snow boundary will determine precipitation type.
Extended Winter Weather Outlook
Meteorologists warn that this storm won't be the only one affecting the region this week. Arctic air continues pouring from Canada, setting the stage for additional impacting storms through the first ten days of December, ensuring a rough start to the winter season.
