The East Coast isn't done yet with frigid temperatures and winter weather as it braces for a storm meteorologists have described as a bomb cyclone, nor'easter and a blizzard.
Blizzard conditions are headed for the Carolinas due to a "rapidly intensifying coastal cyclone," the National Weather Service said on Jan. 30. Through the weekend, heavy snow, high winds and hazardous travel conditions will take aim at North and South Carolina, along with parts of Virginia and Georgia.
Central North Carolina expects to see between 4 and 8 inches of snow, with localized amounts a foot or greater, starting the evening of Jan. 30, the weather service in Raleigh said. Wind chills will reach as low as minus 5 degrees in the region.
The weather service in Columbia, South Carolina, said some areas could see 6 to 8 inches near the border between the Carolinas while other areas will see 3 to 6.
"For cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro, this storm could be the biggest snowstorm in decades," AccuWeather said.
