"WeatherAs forecasters anxiously watch models for better agreement, one thing is clear: a major winter storm-named Winter Storm Fern by The Weather Channel-is forecast to impact a vast portion of the United States this weekend, bringing a dangerous combination of heavy snow, ice, and extreme cold to much of the country. Winter Storm Fern is expected to impact more than 230 million people across roughly two-thirds of the U.S., stretching across approximately 33 states."
"Forecasters say many areas could receive a foot or more of snow, with locally higher totals-potentially approaching two feet - in the most favored bull's-eye zones, depending on the storm's exact track. Ski areas across the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England, particularly in the Berkshires and Vermont's Green Mountains, are preparing for one of their most significant snow events of the season. A prolonged stretch of cold air behind the storm is expected to preserve snow quality and deliver excellent mid-winter conditions at resorts."
A major winter storm named Winter Storm Fern will impact roughly two-thirds of the United States, affecting more than 230 million people across about 33 states. The system will move east from the Southern Plains on Friday, spread wintry precipitation into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic on Saturday, then push into New England Sunday into Monday. Many areas could receive a foot or more of snow, with localized amounts potentially approaching two feet in favored bull's-eye zones. Inland cold will favor higher snow-to-liquid ratios and fluffy snow. Periods of intense precipitation could produce localized snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour, including possible thundersnow. Coastal mixing and subtle track shifts could dramatically influence final amounts.
