U.S. Mid-Atlantic Cleans Up From Snow; More Coming (Update4)


Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia began digging out today from a blizzard that dumped as much as three feet of snow on parts of the mid-Atlantic region and left thousands without power.

Elkridge, Maryland, just south of Baltimore, recorded the region’s most snowfall with 38.3 inches (97 centimeters), the National Weather Service said. Baltimore’s airport had 24.8 inches, while Washington’s Reagan National had 17.8 inches, its second-biggest snowfall total. Philadelphia registered 28.5 inches, its second-biggest snowfall also. In the Virginia town of Howellsville, west of Washington, 37 inches fell.

“This was an epic storm,” said Andrew Ulrich, a meteorologist for AccuWeather.com Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania. “The sheer amount of snow was amazing.”

And there is more in store.

AccuWeather said another storm will arrive in the Northeast during the night of Feb. 9 into the morning of Feb. 10. Possible blizzard conditions are forecast for northeastern Pennsylvania to New England and as much as 12 inches of snow may fall. Baltimore and Washington may see as much as six inches of new snow, Ulrich said. ..........(more)
