I don’t usually post travel-related pieces, but love this description of Boone NC from Our State in relation to its precipitation. They are sure to get a batch of it in the next few days as a monster storm moves up the East Coast. Washington DC may get hit by 1-2 feet of snow before it is all over. In addition to the heavy snow and winds, the storm surge associated with this circulation, combined with a near-full moon and high ocean elevations, could cause a storm surge along the East Coast similar to what was caused by Hurricane Sandy. Snowfall amounts are expected to be amplified by the unusually warm water in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast.
In the Southeast, we will likely see snow in higher elevations and more northern locations, and could also see freezing rain in some areas. It’s winter, folks!
