Storm to bring new stripe of snow for southern Virginia, North Carolina
|
The new storm that brought fresh snow to parts of Kentucky and Tennessee earlier this week will bring a small amount of snow and slippery travel to parts of North Carolina and southern Virginia into early Thursday. Other states that have been in a deep chill will finally get a little relief. Recent storms in the second half of January have brought a significant dose of snow and ice to not only the northern tier of the country, but also the southern United States. The cross-country snow and ice storm during the last full weekend in January brought enough ice to...

Northeast braces for coldest weekend of winter with snow, rapid freezeup for some
|
A brutally cold weekend awaits more than 100 million people in the northeastern quarter of the nation as Arctic air lunges southward straight from eastern Canada. The initial blast of cold air will bring a burst of snow to some areas, followed by a rapid freeze-up and harsh, gusty winds. The air will have little chance to warm on its southward journey, as the landscape is largely frozen, with vast areas of deep snow and frozen lakes and rivers. If, when the stats are tallied, this weekend does not officially bring the lowest temperatures of the winter, it will feel like...

Lake Erie could hit rare 100% ice coverage as freeze-over window narrows
|
Lake Erie is flirting with a milestone that has happened only a handful of times in the modern record: a complete freeze-over. As of this week, the lake's ice coverage reached 95.3%, according to an analysis by NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. It is the second year in a row with substantial ice coverage on Erie. Widespread icing of this magnitude happens once every two or three years, but what is much rarer is for Lake Erie to be completely covered by ice. Since record keeping began in the early 1970s, it has only reached 100% ice cover three times:...

Frigid air eases in second week of February for Midwest, East
|
Some good news is developing for those struggling to keep warm and facing high heating bills in the Midwest and the eastern United States. However, the upcoming warming process may be slow, with a disappointing end result for some. Some of the coldest days of the winter are ahead for the Upper Midwest late this week and for the Northeast this weekend. It will take some effort on the part of the atmosphere to dislodge the frigid conditions, given the frozen, snowy landscape. In recent weeks, the polar vortex weakened and shifted, allowing frigid air to pour into the central and...

Body recovered from frozen Potomac River in Washington, DC
|
A body was recovered from the ice on the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, according to DC Fire and EMS. The incident was initially reported as a water rescue near the 14th Street Bridge after crews confirmed a person was on the ice near the bridge, DC Fire and EMS said. Officials later said the response shifted from a rescue to a recovery. Firefighters reached the body by crossing the ice from a nearby access point, DC Fire and EMS said. The body was then removed from the ice and transported by a DC Police Harbor Unit to a...

Snow squalls, brutal cold to return late week in Northeast
|
The first full month of 2026 delivered what many would consider a "true winter" across much of the Northeast. Repeated Arctic intrusions drove temperatures sharply lower, while bouts of snow and ice made recent winter seasons appear comparatively gentle. January temperature departures generally ranged from 2-5 degrees below the historical average across several major Northeast metropolitan areas, signaling a colder-than-normal pattern overall. However, these averages may understate the severity of the cold late in the month, as January began on a much warmer note in comparison. Snowfall totals varied, but some locations reached or slightly exceeded their typical January averages, largely...
