Winter storm: Washington's expected blizzard just a day away
- 8 years ago
The anticipation is nearly over for the folks around Washington, D.C. All week, the forecast has promised a blizzard of epic proportions.
Come Friday, it will be on their doorstep.
All indications are that this will be one nasty snowstorm with the potential to dump up to a couple of feet of snow across the region.
"It's not out of the question that some localized areas receive over 2 feet of fresh snow," CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said.
And one more thing: They'll be whipped by 50- to 60-mph winds.
"That will create blizzard conditions, as well as coastal storm surge, erosion and flooding," Ward said.
It is less certain whether New York City, Philadelphia and Boston will see heavy snowfall.
Depending on which way the storm goes, 2 to 15 inches are possible.
