Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy, or now a Nor' Easter, is moving well inland near Lancaster, PA. Heavy rain and strong winds are still affecting much of the Northeast U.S. This will continue throughout the day from PA, NY, MD, OH, DE, NJ, VA and WV. Snows will continue to fly in WV, OH, PA, VA and even KY. A few feet could accumulate in the higher elevations! Beckly, WV is reporting around 12 inches, Snowshoe Ski Resort has about 16 inches this morning. Currently it is snowing at 1 to 2 inches per hour up there!!! They will get a snow total of 1-3 FEET! WOW!
Storm surge flooding continues across much of New York City where water has been reported in the Subway Tunnels and in many building basements. Part of the 9 1 1 construction site has water in it too. The NJ coast is still under water with all of Atlantic City under water as well as Ocean City, NJ. Even Ocean City, MD has reported a lot of water on Highway 1. I will post more updates on damage and flooding as I get more updates during the day. There are widespread power outages and they will last for days, if not weeks! I hope you were prepared for that.
DO NOT plan to travel to the Northeast U.S. for at least the next few days. Airports are closed and they are not sure when they will open. Trains has stopped running and many roads are covered with water too.
For those family and friends in PA: Expect more heavy rain and strong winds all day. The rain will mix with snow in the higher elevations from St. Marys, PA down to West Virginia. Elkins, WV already has around 6-12 inches are more is on the way! Still be prepared for power outages across the inland areas today and they could last for a few days.
Look for more updates throughout today. -Dave
