"Major cities impacted by this week's severe weather include Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Detroit - where a weather-related pile-up involving at least 50 vehicles including semitrucks shut Interstate 75 for hours Monday. Winter storm warnings were in effect for parts of N.Y. and Michigan, and a high win warning was issued for parts of Massachusetts Monday. A wind advisory was in effect for D.C. and portions of Maryland and Virginia."
"By the numbers: Nearly 9,000 flights into, or out of the U.S. were delayed and more than 1,500 others canceled as an Arctic cold front swept across the Eastern Seaboard Monday, per flight tracking site FlightAware. State of play: The Arctic front will lead in a period of gusty to high winds and sharply colder temperatures over the entire eastern U.S. Heavy lake effect snow is then expected from Lakes Erie and Ontario through New Year's Day," according to the weather agency."
An Arctic front will sweep across the eastern two-thirds of the United States, including Florida, bringing gusty to high winds and temperatures 20 to 25 degrees colder. Major cities affected include Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, New York City, Washington, D.C., and Detroit, where a 50-vehicle pile-up closed Interstate 75. Nearly 9,000 flights were delayed and more than 1,500 canceled. Winter storm warnings, a high wind warning, and wind advisories cover parts of New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Very cold northwesterly winds and a reinforcing Alberta clipper will produce heavy lake-effect snow downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario, with localized bands adding one to two feet. Freeze warnings and cold weather advisories extend as far south as the Gulf Coast.
