Following a wintry blast that brought a foot of snow to towns across the Northeast, heavy rain and mild temperatures could lead to a rapid meltdown.

00:00 The weekend nor Easter brought a foot of snow to parts of the northeast. Plow

00:05 trucks struggled to keep up with the snow in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Snow

00:10 blowers rumbled down the sidewalks of Albany, New York. Drivers were seen

00:15 sliding on snow and slush covered highways in New England. People are

00:19 just a little crazy. You know, some people drive like there's no snow and

00:24 some people go two miles an hour and I feel like it makes it worse. The storm

00:28 brought ice to parts of Virginia. Resorts were packed in the Poconos

00:32 with skiers and snowboarders looking to make the most of the fresh powder. I'm

00:37 new to snowboarding, so I'm looking forward to getting out on the slopes

00:41 with some fresh snow. We don't have snow back home, but anytime I see

00:44 weather, you know, weather storm coming in, go snowboarding. How much at all

00:47 last year was I didn't go snowboarding very often. While families got to break

00:52 out the sleds in upstate New York. This is fun. We needed some snow. Kids in

00:57 New York City only saw some flurries before a switch over to rain. I'm

01:02 really excited because I want it to happen again. All of this snow will not

01:06 last for long. Heavy rain will bring a rapid meltdown and raise the risk of

01:11 flooding across the northeast for Accuweather under Waddell.
