Call it a bomb cyclone or a nor'easter, it's going to be a memorable storm for some folks along the East Coast as January turns to February.

Leaders in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia issued or extended states of emergency ahead of the winter storm.

In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 6 inches of snow was expected. The city has no snow removal equipment, Mayor Mark Kruea said.
