Winter Storm Fern: Double Digit Snow Totals Possible Across Mid-Atlantic

Double Digit Snow Totals Possible Across Mid-Atlantic

A major, widespread winter storm will hammer parts of the South, Midwest and Northeast Friday through Monday with potentially damaging ice and heavy snow for millions from New Mexico and Texas to parts of New England.

The storm has been named Winter Storm Fern by The Weather Channel. According to The Weather Company forecasters, Fern could affect over 180 million in the U.S. with snow and/or ice, over half the nation's estimated population.




It apparently has a name now. Winter Storm Fern. #winterstorm #severeweather

Delivers a passionate message about being prepared and neighbors helping neighbors to survive a storm we have nothing to compare to


Instead, the current administration is using the deadly weather to help trap the “other “

I hope it does snow here. Freezing rain and dropping limbs on power lines not exactly an exciting prospect.

I hope you are ready and do OK.

with my knees still healing I'm not looking forward to walking on ice, hoping the weather shows up
in the afternoon. Had 2 appointments Tuesday and when they called my name he said hold on and
got me a wheelchair. Which was nice of him, didn't know my walking looked that awkward.

Been watching Jack Smith's testimony, Rs should be ashamed how they are attacking him.
