"A surge of Arctic air brought strong winds, heavy snow and frigid temperatures to the Great Lakes and Northeast on Tuesday, a day after a bomb cyclone barreling across the Midwest left tens of thousands of customers without power. Blustery winds were expected to add to the chill, with low temperatures dipping below freezing as far south as the Florida panhandle, the National Weather Service said."
"As the storm moves into Canada, the frigid air trailing behind it will spread across much of the eastern two-thirds of the country, the National Weather Service said, powering the lake-effect "snow machine" in areas downwind of the Great Lakes. Some areas in western and upstate New York saw a foot or more of snow Monday and their totals could reach up to 3 feet (91 centimeters) this week, forecasters said."
A surge of Arctic air brought strong winds, heavy snow and frigid temperatures to the Great Lakes and Northeast following a rapidly intensifying bomb cyclone that swept across the Midwest. The system produced a sharp temperature drop, a mix of snow, ice and rain, and treacherous travel conditions. More than 115,000 customers lost power nationwide, about a third in Michigan. Blustery winds drove lows below freezing as far south as the Florida panhandle. Lake-effect snow could bring up to 3 feet in parts of western and upstate New York, where an 81 mph gust in Buffalo toppled trees and wires. Conditions are expected to improve later.
