Winter storm barreling towards US East Coast

The East Coast of the United States is preparing for a massive winter storm, which has been making its way across the country. The system is expected to dump the most significant snowfall in two years on parts of the northeast. Millions of Americans from the Carolinas to Maine are under a winter storm alert. The first nor’easter of the year is barreling towards the East Coast expected to dump up to twelve inches of snow. Major cities near the coast, such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., are only predicted to experience light snow, rain and gusty winds – but preparations are underway just in case.
