A fresh band of winter weather was pounding parts of the Tennessee and Ohio valleys with snow and rain on Saturday as it headed toward the U.S. East Coast, threatening to bring more misery to storm-weary Boston.
The system cut a 2,000 mile path from southern Missouri to Maine, with a winter storm warning in effect until Sunday for parts of southern Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania, the National Weather Service (NWS) said.
In Kentucky and Tennessee, forecasters warned of possible flooding as rain fell on frozen ground.
The system was expected to bring a wintry mix of rain, sleet and snow from Washington to New York City, followed by another blast of bone-chilling cold.
The city's snowfall is about 68 inches (173 cm) above the average yearly total of 31 inches (79 cm), Oravec said.
In Brooklyn on Friday, temperatures hovered around 4 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 15.6 degrees Celsius), beating the record low of 7 degrees set in 1950, according to NWS records.
At least four people have died because of the cold weather in Kentucky, officials said, and at least two people froze to death outside in Pennsylvania.
