More than a foot
of snow (30 cm) and 50 mph (80 kph) winds are forecast from the
Adirondacks Mountains in upstate New York to western Maine,
leading to possible white-out conditions on roads and power
outages, the weather service said in an advisory.
The storm will make travel across much of the region hazardous,
the weather service said.
Storm and high wind watches and warnings were in effect for much
of the region until Friday morning as snow fall rates could be
as much as 3 inches (8 cm) an hour in some parts, according to
the service.
Forecasters predict temperatures will be in the mid 20s and
lower 30s on Thursday and Friday and dip into the teens on
Saturday.
